Decide in which schools you would like to enroll.
Determine if these particular schools have an MCAT requirement. An MCAT score is not necessary for most Caribbean schools. Even if a school does require it, they may accept lower scores as compared to US schools.
Obtain letters of recommendation from at least two people from your college who are in related fields. A letter from an English teacher would not be as good a choice as someone who taught you anatomy. Also include a letter from someone who knows your work ethic, such as a manager or supervisor.
Obtain official transcripts from institutions of higher learning and also test scores for the MCAT or the GRE. In a few rare instances, you may have to include your USMLE score.
Make sure that you meet all the academic requirements. US schools require a student to have taken at least one year of biology, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, math, and English. This is the same as Caribbean medical schools. However, Caribbean schools may overlook a missed class depending on scores and the individual.
Write a personal essay. Choose to write about something regarding your decision to become a doctor. Be open and honest when writing your essay. Your personal statement can make an impact on your chances of being accepted. If you have done poorly in a class, use the personal essay as a chance to explain yourself and what you have learned from it.
Include the fee required for the application. Applications that are received without the fee may be put aside, or tossed altogether. The fee can range anywhere from $50 to $150.
