Hey everyone, this video is my story and something that has effected me tremendously over the past few months. Please keep the comments kind. What experience has turned your life into a 180? ✨
Oof. I feel bad for you. I hope you can get into another med school and if not at the very least a grad school. All the money wasted for the tuition, bills, everything that happens.
@@nkyizs4904 So, I'm guessing you didn't watch the entire video from this comment which I clearly state I did in fact get accepted into another medical school.
Listen don't be so hard on yourself. I got dismissed from 2 schools and finally graduated from my third and am in my 2nd year of residency in general surgery. if you are still passionate about medicine, keep moving forward. there are schools like st James and AUSOMA that will easily take you.
I'm so sorry to hear everything you went through, but I'm really happy to year about all the success and that you're starting your residency in general surgery, THATS AMAZING! i'm really happy you're able to push through and not give up on your dreams! Thank you, I am very much passionate about medicine and I did get into another school that I'll be attending in 2023! 🤗 thank you for the support and sharing your story, and I wish you much success in your residency! Keep saving lives! 💛
@@NeishaG Do you mind sharing what school? I can give you some advice or help you connect with some people who are there and can help you with your journey. just stay consistent.
I can't believe they had the audacity to ask you to do the last minute tour and still not accept your appeal. They're literal criminals, using students as free labour. Student guides are always paid in other universities. They clearly used you at the end, getting your hopes up of the appeal getting accepted if you did the tour. Despicable staff, I hope they get what's coming to them.
Thank you for that! Trust me, I was livid when all of that happened & in such disbelief with how much I was used just to have that outcome. I’m just happy that my situation is different now regardless of the injustice that occurred 🫶🏽
Hahaha the lack of tact there. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought WTF. All of it, combined, just shows how bad the school was, however, as opposed to any blame falling on this student. And now she's got 101k views to his video, including the now-embarrassed admins and those who never heard her out!
I am also a student in the Caribbean and they do behave like this, they make things hard for the students deliberately, especially if you are a foreign student.
That's shameful and according to them "they need medical professionals like doctors sooo badly" xD they're a joke. Definitely won't be attending there for my med school journey!
This is so insane, it’s like hearing a movie! I’m incredibly sorry you had to go through all of that. You should not have been treated that way and this entire situation could’ve been handled so much differently. Stay strong beautiful, you will achieve your dreams and goals! And congratulations on getting into a new school! I’m very proud of you! ❤❤❤
Thank you for being transparent about your journey. I was also kicked out of medical school in my first year and the failure was one of the hardest things to process. It took a while for me to deal with the situation let alone talk about it. Your video validated so much of the feelings I could never open up about.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I’m so sorry to hear you experienced the same thing, it’s so tough to go through but I’m grateful we were able to make it through and not give up! Our feelings are very much valid and will only add to be an incredible doctor that we are! It really means a lot to hear you say that, thank you so much! ♥️
I almost got dismissed from my med school back in 2009. I can only tell you, as someone who almost failed in this "medical education" system to eventually having worked in the field for 9 years now, a lot of med schools these days are just out of touch with the reality and practice in medicine. Like literally you don't even need to learn the 90% stuff you were taught in med school in order to be great doctors. It's a disconnected and corrupt system that sucks a lot of money out of students who aspire to be in medical field working.
I've heard many doctors now say this! That majority of things learned in medical school is very outdated and the curriculum needs a massive upgrade! I just wonder when they'll ever do that and realize that the system isn't helping anyone to succeed.
@@NeishaGhonestly that’s how it is with nursing and Nurse Practitioner schools. Most of the things you learn in school is different from actually working. Keep pushing girl and God bless you and your studies. Go be a doctor.
That is absolutely true. It is a series of hoop jumping and memorization of whatever they want you to spout out on a test as a right answer, which may not be correct at all. Medical school is survival camp. Dog eat dog. Not a nice place. A lot of stress to see if you can survive it. Burnout is the end result. That is why so many doctors are actually leaving medicine for something else. It isn't about helping people, it is about serving the pharmaceutical industry.
This video was in my recommended even though I don't study medicine; I'm in my junior year of engineering. I just wanted to say that I applaud you for your perseverance and also for not giving up. It's inspiring to see people go through thick and thin to achieve their dreams.
I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so sad that medical schools talk so much about the virtue of compassion yet your school didn't seem to show any toward you in this situation. I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I know God has better plans for you. This could be a blessing in disguise, mark my words. Keep your head up.
Thank you so much for this, it’s very kind of you! I agree, as students we’re taught that we need to have compassion but schools have 0 compassion when it comes to their students. Thank you so much, I agree, God has better plans and everything happens for the best! I appreciate you comment so much 🥹🤍
It definitely was traumatic. Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me! There’s so much power in believing in yourself & never give up on your goals! 🫶🏽♥️
What a horrible stressful situation! I am proud of you for moving forward and applying for other schools. It’s insane that they did this to you and didn’t hear you out. As a student that just got accepted to a Caribbean Medical School, this is insightful knowledge. I will most definitely check and read that handbook.
Thank you so much for this comment! Congratulations on getting into medical school! Literally the entire reason why I filmed it is to provide insight so it doesn’t happen to anyone else, so really read that handbook, and I’m wishing you all the best and much success in your medical school journey! ☺️🤗
This is so sad to hear, I'm fighting through the water works because this hurts to listen to. I'm sorry you had to go through this and everything that has happened to you. Always remember you can't get success from failure and you will come out on top through perseverance and staying strong! keep it up, I am routing for you! ❤❤
Thank you so much for the kind words, it definitely wasn't easy but I'm glad I was able to get my story out there and for anyone else that have gone through this or is experiencing this right now. Thank you very much for the support, I greatly appreciate it! ❤
I am so sorry that you had to go through this. You are strong and will make it out as a Doctor! I'm sending you my best wishes and I know you will get through this!
Hi, just want to say as someone who is now an aerospace engineer I fell really hard in my studies a few years back too. I struggled alot to get back to a place where I was okay. So just wanted to say looking at where you are now and seeing what you went through I think it's super impressive and definitely an inspiration that you didn't let this hold you back. You're an inspiration to me:)
Aww thank you so much for this comment, I really appreciate it! I’m so sorry to hear about your hardships in your studies but I’m very happy to hear that you’re now an aerospace engineer! THATS INCREDIBLE! You are my inspiration! 🥹😍🤍
Thank you for taking the time to watch! Oh yeah girl, I’ve heard so many stories from so many students and it’s so sad to hear how common this is. I definitely will, thank you again for the support! ♥️
I admire your persistence in continuing on despite such an agonizing setback. I don't think the school treated you fairly at all, and it just looks really bad on them. As a student I would think twice before attending there. I hope you go on to become a great doctor! We all make mistakes - I'm glad you got a second chance elsewhere.
Thank you so much for this message, it was really sweet of you! Thank you for understanding, we all make mistakes and no human is perfect, and we’re all dealt with different cards in life. I really appreciate your kindness and well wishes 🤍🤗
I'm so sorry you went through that. You were really treated unfairly. That school didn't deserve you as a student so I'm glad you ended up getting accepted somewhere undoubtably better and deserving of your contributions and vigor. Thank you for sharing your story to prevent others from having a similar experience. Congrats on your acceptance into a new school! New sub❤
Thank you so much for this comment! It really means a lot! It was honestly the worst feeling ever going through that but I always told myself everything happens for a reason and I can’t give up now! Thank you so much and appreciate you subscribing to my channel! 🥰♥️
It's so unfortunate that you had to go through this. I'm really really happy that you were able to come out on the other side. I'm so happy that you're able to complete this journey. You have grown so much from this situation!
Thank you for sharing your story, it was really brave of you to do so. I was looking at Reddit and saw some of the Caribbean med school stories but didn’t know if I should believe them or not so I know it must’ve taken a lot of courage to make this video. You’re very inspirational seeing now that you’re doing so well at your new school and you’re working hard to be a doctor. It’s sad to see some of the comments on here not understanding the situation and the fact it’s not easy going through medical school, let alone in another country. You always have my support & I can’t wait to see you graduate as a doctor ❤🎉
Wow that was a lot you went through! I'm glad you got accepted into another med school! You definitely didn't deserve to get kicked out. But you're gonna finish med school and become a doctor for sure :)
Thank you so much! It was hard to endure but everyone is felt with different cards in life, but it won’t stop me from graduating medical school and becoming the doctor I dream to be! 🤗🤍
Thank you for sharing your journey and I admire your persistence. I also got kicked out during my third year of med school and right now, I have a lot of uncertainties. It was really a lot to process for failing a subject just for a few marks from the passing score. Despite the setbacks, I am determined to continue my med journey. Your video is quite validating as some of my family can't really understand the struggle to juggle family matters and studying. I also gone through the emotional and mental exhaustion and it is really hard to open up about it to my tutors. I am still in the process of looking for another opportunity somewhere else.. Praying for the continuation of your journey. Hope you'll prove the school that you will become a competent doctor in the future.. I am glad you had a second chance elsewhere.. It is a season of growth and all about learning from our failures that matters❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video, and I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. What I learned is regardless if something good or bad happens, someone always has something to say, so it's best to continue on making your dreams come true no matter what happens! Continue on your Medical journey if that's something you want to do, and I believe and support you 100%! Failure is always a part of life and you will make it to becoming a doctor, remember everyones journey is different, but the end goal is near in sight 🤗❤️
Neisha, thank you for sharing such a emotional topic. I feel for you when you talk about how difficult medical school is. As a medical student, I can empathize with you in the obstacles and challenges that medical schools throw at us. However, this is not meant for everyone. In addition, some schools are harder than others. Having the mental power and ability along with the hard work and dedication can help one get through the tribulations. At the end of the day it is truly important for you to do what is in the best for you. The fact that you are able to walk away from something like this shows tremendous strength in your ability to do what is best for yourself. I wish nothing but the best for you. Thank you for sharing!
Neisha- the same thing happened to me (but not med school) - an advisor gave me information that was not accurate, omitted other consequences, etc. I ended up having to stop pursuing my Chemistry major after 1.5 years of the curriculum. I hope things work out for you 💪🏻
I’m so sorry to hear that! It’s such a disappointing moment for one to endure and I hope everything works out for you! Thank you for the words of encouragement 🤗
This is absolutely unbelievable, corrupt & shady practice by the school. Thank you for sharing your story, I can imagine this happening to so many students, but we don't know or hear about it because they don't have the same platform/base you do. Thank you for bringing awareness. To have this happen to you, and get yourself back up and transfer and start again from scratch, if that's not resilience, I don't know what is. So, keep fighting and never give up on your dream. The school simply stole the money, I imagine they do this to many students, enroll a bunch of people, when they make it to semester 4-5, the school panics that it probably needs to get rid of half the class because they probably don't have enough clinical spots, so they start making things difficult. For example, the paper/scantron test, the fu$%? Is this the 1990s? They knew what they were doing, they gave a difficult course, the semester was impossible to pass. They got what they wanted, students money, and failing half the class. The fact that it was sent to 16 other students?! Not a coincidence. I think what upsets me the most about this, is the fact the dean didn't have the audacity to take students meetings. This tells you A LOT about this school, and how they're running it. Definitely avoiding Medical University of America at ALL COSTS!
Yes, thank you for understanding the entirety of the situation! Everything was truly gut wrenching and you nailed everything to the tea! But, on the other hand, I'm happy and so thankful I was able to go somewhere else for school, like they say, everything happens for a reason. Thank youso much for your support and kind words, it doesn't go unnoticed, and thank you for taking the time to watch and hear my story ❤️
Do EVERYTHING in your power to pass at this second school. I know medical school is unbelievably hard, and the amount of info, I can only imagine. But the best way to come on top of this, is by graduating, matching, and giving a big FU finger to this last school LOL. Plus, 10 years from now, you can look back and remember what a dark hole you came out of, and how far you came. @@NeishaG
My ex-friend got dismissed from dental school during our 3rd year; he said he faced a lot of racial discrimination - which is true because I faced the same thing. For me I sucked it up and made it through, but he let it consume him. Instead of applying to other dental schools, he spiraled into depression and after 7 years he became extremely toxic so I broke off my friendship with him. I wish the best for you and hope you don’t give up on your dream.
I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s such a tough experience to go through and it’s for sure life changing in good and bad ways. It’s sad to hear he didn’t take it well, but I’m glad to hear you were able to cope and make hard decisions for your success! Keep going to chase your dreams, you got this! And thank you! ☺️
Neisha- thank you so much for speaking on this experience. You have no idea how grateful I am to have come across this video and listening to you reflect on your experience in such a productive way helped me process my med school dismissal as well that also felt unfair and due to admin sticking strictly to the handbook. at the end of the day, everything happens for a reason. We can do it and we are going to be amazing, stronger doctors at the end of the day for this.
Im so sorry to hear that happened to you! It warms my heart that my video helped you through it! I agree, what happens really hurts but we’ll be stronger and better doctors at the end of the day, and we always got to be strong and be our best supporters and believers! You got this, I wish you the very best and know you are intelligent, strong and you will get through this 🤍🥰
It's the last minute tour for me 😒. I hate how hard it is for Canadian pre-meds. So many are forced to endure those shady for-profit Carribean schools and it's not fair. They have 0 compassion for their students. You're on your own. I hate that you had to experience that and I wish you all the best at your new school ❤️
LOOL YESSS! Finally someone who gets it!! Literally I was fed to the wolves and it was the worst, but I’m glad I was able to continue my journey elsewhere! Thank you for this girl, when life throws obstacles, you got to go through it and make your path known 👏🏽🥰♥️
I’m so sorry to hear this. I can’t imagine going through all of this and that too by yourself. You are so brave and raw for sharing this. I kept hoping they would take you back but I guess Life has different and amazing plans for you❤️ I know you’re gonna do amazing no matter what happens and which path you take. I’m rooting for you❤️ and I know you’ll come out of this stronger and better.
Thank you so much Herleen, this was very tough to endure by myself and I literally had nothing to distract me either as there weren't any malls or anything on the island. I really appreciate and am so thankful for the kind words, support and motivation. It really means so much to me, thank you! ❤❤
Aww I’m so sorry to hear you went through this Neisha! I know you have a great head on your shoulders & you’ll get through this tough time. Keep your head up! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you! It’s very well said, the true is is the person we are and how we treat people. Thank you for the support 🥰♥️
I'm so glad you documented this event. I felt the same way when I withdrew from a certified registered nurse anesthesia program and tried to get back in but was denied. It was literally the worst year of my life. I felt like my life was over. I'm really glad you were given a second chance at another school. I know med school and CRNA school are vastly different but this video kind of gives me hope to try again. Blessings to you and your studies and I can't wait to see the vlog when you've completed.
Thank you so so much for this comment! I’m so sorry to hear what you went through with your program, I literally can relate to the feeling but don’t give up! Try again and keep going for your goals! Everything happens for a reason and it will work out for you! Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for the kind wishes 🥹🥰♥️
I’m so glad you’re sharing your story. This is a very important lesson that medical students need to understand during school and beyond. Your school is not your friend! An older friend told me this before I started med school and it has helped me time and time again. I never speak to the admins or professors in person; everything is in writing over email. It helped me to pull up an email whenever an admin or prof tried to something. Esp for women, minority students, you’ve got to watch your back! You did so much for your school and it’s so hurtful to see that they just threw you to the side when it was most convenient for them
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video. I completely agree, especially when studying abroad in the Caribbean, the school is not our friend and we have to ensure we always watch our backs especially being minorities! Everything going forward will always be in writing! This experience was all lessons learned and I’m glad I got to go to another school and start over to much better things. Everything always happens for a reason ♥️🥰
Just saw this video. Most definitely NOT the end of the world! Trust me when I say, every setback is a blessing. You got this! No matter if it's applying to other med schools or taking a different path, as long as you live your most authentic life and live the life YOU want (no other expectations), then that's all that matter. Peace and love! Keep ya head up! :)
You can definitely talk about this experience in your residency application and what you did to go forward. You will be a great doctor bc of your resiliency
The whole thing could honestly have been handled way better on the school’s end. I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m just glad you’re going to be able to finish up. Best wishes 🤗
I completely agree, everything about this entire situation could've been handled differently. Thank you so much for the kind wishes, I really appreciate it, thank you! ❤❤
I remember having a very similar scenario to yours with a class back at UofT. It had to do with me handing in a late paper. Luckily for me when I argued my case about my paper not being accepted after a certain date I used and quoted the course syllabus like crazy to make them change their decision and it worked. It sucks but sometimes these syllabus/book guidelines are filled with ways that you can win an appeal. Also I can't even imagine how difficult that was getting that terrible news on that one day and knowing all that hard work for those 2 years and money all gone. I hope your parents and other family was supportive of you through that extremely difficult time.
I really am sorry love that is has happened to you - this was not fair at all my love but I believe better things await for you ❤❤ you did everything to support your case and maybe this had to happen so a better experience can come your way. My sweet, hardworking, loving and caring soul will become a doctor - you keep fighting and you deserve the world, remember that!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sara for the kind words and support throughout this journey! It really means a lot to me! Exactly, I feel like this happened to me for a reason and it's meant to make me a better person and succeed more in my medical school journey! All I can do is learn from it and find the opportunities to grow and succeed ❤ Thank you so so much, I love you so much and thank you for being by my side! ❤🤗🥰
Dude this story made me so mad. Caribbean schools have the worst appeals committee. This would have never happened in a US school. Your story made me blood boil and I can't believe they screwed you over. I'm sorry you had to go through this and I promise that you'll become a wonderful physician in the future! It's God's way of testing your patience and determination. Best of luck Neisha.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate what you said! It honestly sucks so much and it made me so mad, but everything happens for a reason and like you said, it’s Gods way of testing how badly I want to do this, and with any medical profession, it’s all sacrifice to reap the rewards! So I just got to keep pushing and working hard! Thank you so much! 🤍🤗
UTRGV is in Texas. I dropped a class June 2, 2023, in time for a 100% refund. Instead, the school’s registrar refused to drop the class despite having a “higher up” email the registrar asking why the class hadn’t been dropped. I then received an email from the financial aid director stating I need to withdraw from the class and i was now eligible for a 0% refund. They wanted to keep $2k of my student loans for a class that I dropped. The W would also suspend me from financial aid eligibility and would put me on an academic probation for 2 semesters. I filed a formal complaint with the Dept of Ed (federal) and TX Board of High Ed (state). ALL schools have their problem staff 😊
You are beyond amazing! You have so much insight and do not deserve this. What a great idea for you to post this for others. Wow. I’m sick to my stomach for you.
Thank you so so much, I really appreciate your empathy 🥰 I know it was horrible to endure, but everyone’s journey is different and we find ways to continue and overcome them! 🤗
Many many hugs! Thank you for having the courage for sharing your story. You are ambitious and insightful, and deserve so much better than how the officials at the school treated you.
No way. I was in the exact same situation as you in the same time. Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience, not everyone has the courage to accept this and move on and stay positive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you, and i wish you nothing but success in your future endeavors ♡
I’m so sorry to hear it happened you as well! I hope everything is going well for you. Thank you so much, it’s very sincere of you. Wishing you all the best and thank you very much for the support 🤍
First of all thank you so much for sharing! It is definitely not easy & it's so hard to pick yourself back up & continue on the journey. Same thing happened to me at MUA & YES they do deserve the negativity that's coming their way. They've screwed over a lot of my classmates as well. It's shocking to me how little they care about students compared to US schools esp the so called dean. The anxiety & depression this place gave me is mind boggling. I'm glad it worked out for you & now you're attending a BETTER school. Best wishes to you! - Fellow medical provider, PA :)
Thank you so much for this comment, I really appreciate it you taking time to watch my video & hear my story! I'm so sorry the same thing happened to you while you were at MUA, but I'm happy to hear that you are now a PA, that's incredible and very motivating to know that you got your dream career! It definitely wasn't easy and took a lot of soul searching and working through everything, but I'm so happy that everything worked out for the better and I'm continuing my medical school journey! Thank you so much! ☺️
You are very brave! Thank you for doing this. You are showing the side which is hard to share and how to cope up and how to get back on track.This is real life and very inspiring!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and understand my story! It took a lot of debating whether to make this video or not, but I'm happy to share my story! Thank you for the kind words! :)
Your story is truly inspiring. God bless you !! You have what it takes to be an incredible physician and your patients will be truly fortunate having you as you doctor.
I agree, everything in life happens for a reason and we definitely can use that to grow and succeed and take that as a stepping stone. Thank you so much for the best wishes, I really appreciate it! 🤗
Wow the University really did you dirty huh 😒 It’s their loss. You’re gonna be an absolutely incredible Doctor. I know you’ll find somewhere much better. ❤️
Thank you for that! Honestly I don’t regret what happened because everything happened for a reason and now I have a better background on the material! Everything happens for a reason 🤍
I never thought that I would encounter this video here. I got dismissed last year, around May here in my own country. I actually tried searching for videos here on youtube like "kick out of med school" and the like but I haven't found anything. I was so depressed. In my case tho, I've already repeated subjects in my school, reason for my dismissal is that I failed 3 subjects and I didn't meet the maintaining grade/percentage. No formal letter. We, students, who got dismissed is the one who should message the committee etc. It was so painful. I already transferred. to a new school now but I still haven't fully moveed on. The time, energy, friends that I made.. all wasted :(
I’m so sorry that happened to you! Honestly, I really feel you’re pain, everything you felt, I felt as well, and it sucks so much because it’s all time, money and energy spent 😭 I’m happy to hear that you transferred to a new school, I’m wishing you all the best! I know it’s all wasted but just got to look at it as an experience and life has its challenges. Everything happens for a reason and you aren’t meant to be at you’re new school! Goodluck, sending you love! 🫶🏽🤍
@@NeishaG Yes. This video really insipired me so much. There are still bad days for me tho. But thank you for your uplifting words even though I know that it’s not easy. Really, your vlogs give me so much joy, plus the Carribean is so beautiful!!! ❤
@@meowy5665 there are people that lost way more years due to other issues, be grateful, two years lost is relatively less compared to some people and career changers
First thing, thank you so much for your humility and all in sharing this. Second, something very similar happened to me where I got hit by a car and nearly killed as a student but the appeals committee didn't care about my appeal so I moved from Calgary, Canada to Berlin, Germany where I'm starting over fresh and studying aerospace engineering. These unfair situations in academia are heart-wrenching and horrible! You are a strong and beautiful young lady, not to mention incredibly talented too. I'm actually glad you didn't have the finances necessary to find a lawyer, because schools are heartless with litigation and they can take years and years. I lost faith in humanity through filing a mini suit against my school. It's the MUA's loss!!! All the best to you, future doc Neisha. (PS my parents are doctors and you're made for this!)
Thank you so so much for this comment, I really appreciate the kind-hearted words and encouragement! I'm so sorry to hear about your experience, but I'm so proud and happy to hear that you continued your education although it was in a different location, nevertheless, you didn't let anything or anyone bring you down! Thank you for that, I really beleive that everything happens for a reason and I've heard about previous students actually getting a lawyer and nothing crazy life-changing coming out of it which is unfortuante that this really does happen to many students in academia. But thank you again, and I wish you all the best and much success! ❤️
Everything happens for a reason! I was kicked out of dental school about 10 years ago. I was very lost and depressed for a while. I taught for a while and got my master's. I recently got a job at a university, and I am earning my Doctor of Public Health degree here. The best part is that my job pays for most of my education, and I have received many scholarships, fellowships, etc., since starting the program. Keep trusting and believing in God, and He will put you where you need to be!
YESS I LOVE TO SEE THIS SUCCESS! Failure always happens before success but it’s how we pick ourselves up and keep working at it to succeed! I’m very happy to hear about your success and I continue to wish you well!! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your story! ♥️
Let me first say youre absolutely beautiful. Your video touched my heart in a very special way. Secondly let me say you not getting a second chance at the school was certainly their loss. You are going to be an amazing doctor and I wish you well.
Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate the love & support! In no way am I going to let the school stop me, I’m going to keep pushing and get that MD! 🤗
So sorry to hear what happened, and you do deserve another chance for sure , I don't think they looked at your letter , in my opinion I would have your thoughts shared so everyone knows about the school , your beautiful, smart and inspiring so never give up on any goals 😊 ❤️
Aww thank you, that’s so sweet of you! Trust me, the mcat is so hard and it really deters your confidence, but keep studying & working hard, and you’ll get the score you’re striving for! 🤗🫶🏽
Aww thank you so much, it really means a lot hearing you say that! It was hard to start over but you got to chase your dreams one way or another! Thank you so much, it will definitely be better this time around for sure! 🥰♥️
Thank you thank you so much beautiful! I agree, it's a small rough patch that I need to get through to have success in my career and I'll never give up from trying! Thank you again for the kind words and support love! ❤❤❤
If you are premed, this is why Caribbean schools are talked down upon on sdn and Reddit. They are for profit institutions that do not follow US accreditation standards due to being offshore and engage in unethical and predatory behavior that ultimately harms students. Caribbean schools have no problem failing out more than half their class since there is no way they can accommodate all their students during clinical rotations. Also match rates in the US are abysmal due to stigma. Do not go this route unless it’s your last resort.
They are for-profit schools however everything else you said is very false information. Most of these schools are accredited and have audited visits to ensure they're up to US standards and their head offices are based in the states. The match rates are no bad, I don't know what statistics you're looking at but a lot of residency spots went unmatched and hundred of IMG students were able to match into their residencies. I suggest clearly not reading your information on Reddit and those sites and they're very inaccurate and changing your resources. Its not a last resort as many students especially Canadian students cannot get into a medical school in Canada because the admissions are VERY LOW to get in with the lack of schools and seats available, where majority of Canadians are actually at Caribbean medical schools.
@@NeishaG the match rates are def bad if youre not in the popular carib schools. Also it's way harder to match into competitive specialties. Carib schools def seem less forgiving when it comes to failing students. It def is a last resort for most american ppl. Maybe not for Canadians. The reddit warnings have a lot of truth to them.
@@NeishaGhe’s right. You’re a Canadian studying there as an international student. Even if they’re accredited, in the event of mishandling situation that involves a lawyer and a court, the head office in the states will put the entire blame on the institution in the Carib. There’s a business model that only a good lawyer can expose but they know students are already in debt and wouldn’t risk it.
I’m glad to see your video. I was put into Academic Dismissal suspension. In my case I was an international student. I struggling in one with one class. The school advisor told me that if for some reason I failed a written/practicum test I can redo it, so that’s why I stayed in the class that I struggling. I was able to study on second semester, but in the middle and almost finishing the semester the advisor told me that I was put in “approbation” because of one failed class. I told her that I studied for the redo test, but I’ve never received the invitation to do it. Then I reunited with the register officer and the advisor to explained my struggles etc and make the letter of appeal (this happened before I discovered that I was already suspended). I was able to do my final exams and nobody was aware that I was already out. One week after vacation I arrived to campus and went through moodle page and I didn’t saw any my new classes enrolled so I suspected that something happened. I went through to the emails and I found out that I was suspended on August 10 (saw the letter on Sept 03). Then I found out that the register officer and advisor didn’t followed the policy. Imagine travelled 12 hours and found out that you’re out.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you! It's so unfortunate and the school is at fault for being that disorganized that they failed to update you accordingly. It would've saved you so much time and money with travel. I understand and resonate with your situation. Keep your head high, take time out for yourself, take a mental break, then regroup again to deicide your next steps. Everything happens for a reason and you will get through this! ❤️
So sorry this happened to you girl. I know you tried your best and I definitely understand your frustrations. It's a lesson learned, but I do think a great opportunity will come out of this. You will find your calling girly✊🏾
Thank you so much girl! That is so sweet of you, I really appreciate you understanding and the kind words and support! For sure it’s definitely a lesson learned and only great things will come! ♥️🥰
@@NeishaG Intense but not tedious! You gave us a full, thorough insight into what happened. Thank you again for sharing. And I hope your next school is even better! 💖💖
You are absolutely correct. She was too busy with co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to be successful in medical school. She literally said "I didn't think they would release me because I was so involved and I had good grades, etc....". None of that has to do with the quantitative data...either you pass the tests or you don't. I hope she's more focused and doing better.
This doesn't apply to just medical school, this applies to MOST, IF NOT ALL COLLEGES. I went to business school, if you withdraw or fail 2 courses, you get on probation and/or expelled from the institution. That's how it works.
Again, not a lot of people are aware because many did well in their undergraduate studies. And my university didn’t have that (not that I was at least aware of). However in this case, there was a huge lack of communication with the consequences of the actions I took here because it was done during Covid, and I did seek advice and was given wrongful information.
people really don't understand how cut throat Caribbean medical schools can be, sorry this happened to you. Looking back what a wild ride going to medical school out there was - we were really fighting for our lives! I hope it is all working out for you!
Thank you so much and i agree! A lot of people don't realize all the stuff that happens behind the scenes in the Caribbean route since they believe its the much easier route when it really isn't like that 😭 It's been good so far, can't wait until I'm done! 😅
I failed the same course, in the same school. This was the worse class ever taught and the administration doesn't give a shit, I had the option to retake it but I won't take it at this school, it's BS.
I completely agree, it was just so much and wasn't taught the way that would make students succeed and actually retain the information long term. I hope you were able to retake it at another school and hope everything is going well for you 🤗❤
I know that feeling and also being an immigrant child with no money. There are so many privileged medstudent who got their parents pay everything for them, but that isnt the case for us. But I see that you got accepted to a different medschool, YOU go girl! Glad to see that you continued your dream path.
Exactly, our situation is very different and we always have to be extra cautious especially when it comes to things like this. Thank you so much! Im very happy and thankful I got into a new school and can’t wait to complete my medical school journey 🤍
That would suck. I find that you sort of blame others tho. A good life lesson. Yes, read everything especially the hand book. Never take anyone's word. Double, triple check everything and never count on anyone but yourself. Talking about suing a medical school is pretty extreme to say ( even though you have no intention on doing that because of financial reasons). They have strict rules for good reasons. And you never met their requirements. It's as simple as that. Don't forget that being a doctor is also being professional at all times. All the best in you're new school. One more thing. Its an awesome feeling to do good for others. But its not worth it if you expect something in return.
You clearly did not watch the video. Never once said I intended or planned to sue the school. Taking irrelevant criticism from someone called time traveller? No thanks.
I do not like what happened to you. So heartbreaking and scary. May God order your footsteps to the path of His will. Don't give up on good stuff. Keep your head up. God will help my dear❤🎉
I will sound harsh. But this is just a business, they use international students to bank the tuitions from the first years. After that you become replaceable, the more free spots the more students they can accept.
I think it’s very important for anyone who wishes to go to a Caribbean school to note that these are FOR-PROFIT institutions. They do not care about the dreams of their students, nor whether or not they succeed (a lot of data suggests that many of them don’t)
This is not true. Everyone is an international student when it comes to a Caribbean medical school. They are for-profit schools. Currently right now their class sizes have downsized to 12 students, and they decreased their tuition. They can accept how many students but its the students choice to go there after the acceptance since they're currently struggling with numbers.
Oh Wowww! Put on probation due to withdrawing from 2 classes!? It would have been nice for someone to point that out verbally. Student handbooks are hard to digest.
So after hearing your strong recommendation about reading the student handbook, I would then suggest that students sit down with admin or a counselor if they have questions about the handbook and go through it together.
I know right! It seems very extreme to me that just from withdrawing from courses that that would count for being put on probation. But unfortunately that's how it was and I wish I was told that prior to making the decision to withdraw.
@@yahainHotPink That would be very nice, but again, it's the trust with admin and certain people that work for the school. and personally the admin or counsellors at international medical schools aren't the greatest for support and questions like that. It's a great idea for sure, but it comes with so much confusion
Hey, don’t want to rub salt in the wound but this is a genuine question. I understand that the standards are quite high to matriculate into both Canadian and U.S.(MD/DO) programs. I myself have been undergoing the 2022-2023 cycle. Why did you choose to pursue a Caribbean Med school? Do you think that may have played a role in the faculty not being as helpful to you? In general, do you think you were academically ready for Medical School? With the time frame you mention, I assume you got accepted to another Caribbean Med School. Why are you choosing to pursue that choice again? I really do not want to come across as rude or insulting. However, it does seem that Caribbean Med schools cater to those who don’t have the credentials to matriculate elsewhere so that’s why I ask.
With the US and Canadian medical schools, there's a lot of competition and numerous students applying. Thus, there's not enough room for many students to attend schools, so students go to the Caribbean to study rather than going onto do a masters and PDH and then applying to medical school (that's money and years spent). I am academically ready, however I told you my story already and that's what had happened. Nothing with me not being academically ready. To reiterate, I chose to pursue this again because I already spent 2 years studying medicine, so I'm not going to give up on my career goals. It's not necessarily that they cater to those who don't have credentials, but there's many reasons that people go to Caribbean medical schools, such as career changes, having families, competition, etc. There's so many other reasons.
@@NeishaG Not to be mean, but why are you so set on a Caribbean medical school. I'm worried you are not fully aware of how much greener and stable it is to go to medical school in Ireland, UK or Australia. Why would you gamble your money at a school that will kick you out anytime. If you don't match you have zero options to work. You end up 200 k in debt with no way to pay it off if you don't match. At least in Ireland, UK, and Australia you can stay to work as an intern and get more experience. Caribbean schools are run by the mafia pretty much. They don't care about you.
Yes, Caribbean med schools are for those who don’t have the credentials to matriculate elsewhere. Anyone that says otherwise is either coping or intentionally misleading you. Obviously she was not academically ready which is why she was dismissed. And also why she was not accepted to a Canadian or US program.
@@ytsamurai1962 Some definitely do make it from Caribbean Med Schools! Unfortunately, I do agree. It does seem that going to the Caribbean is a gamble that I personally would not take. Canadian MD standards for the mcat borderline crazy though. Pretty sure, they have a pretty high CARS minimum. Also, it’s so tough to get into an American MD program with Canadian residency. It’s seems like such a catch 22 for Canadian kids. I honestly feel bad for them.
Yeah the option to attend Caribbean schools should only be considered as an absolute last resort. It's sort of the path that pre-meds goes down if they fail to get into Irish, AUS, US MD or DO schools.
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s inspiring to learn about what you experienced and how you handled yourself in the face of this huge challenge and built a path forward. Don’t want to directly reply to the ignorant, judgmental folks, but I will write here that folks saying that the only thing that matters are grades miss a huge point about healthcare. If only grades matter, you get doctors who don’t have bedside manner and who don’t understand their role in building and nurturing community. Further, you’re right about our education system. It needs improvement and huge modifications. Happy to hear you’re not giving up.
Thank you for sharing your story. It breaks my heart to hear what happened, so sorry you had to experience this. I am so happy you decided to move forward and apply elsewhere. This does not define you and I know you will be a great physician. I look forward to seeing your future med school videos and maybe seeing you on campus!
Thank you so much, I’m thankful for your kind words and support. I 100% agree with you, this will not define me and failure is a part of success. Thank you so much and I appreciate you following my channel and videos! ♥️🥰
I am also a student in the Caribbean and the teachers and staff here only give half information and even incorrect information to the students. Also they do not help at all.
I think it’s brave to tell your story, it helps ppl to hear about failure tbh. However, I work in business and no one cares about your feelings or your reasons that may or may not be excuses, the only thing that matters is results. I suggest you focus on studying instead of doing all the extra curricula stuff, that’s not going to help you pass an exam or treat a patient.
Please notice the number of medical school graduates not picked up for residency programs. It is highly competitive. Several vlog on RUclips describe individuals in that predicament. I agree with your with everything you said in your comment. Doctors are type A high achievers. Doing well in all their classes in medical school is the number one most important thing the student will spend their time on. The apartment can go unvacuumed, you might have to eat a sandwich or a bowl of cereal for dinner. STUDYING is your job!
That's great to hear, only if I was going into business. Of course extra curriculars aren't going to help me pass an exam or treat a patient, but if you were actually in the medical field, you would know that these are things that are needed to ADD to your resume to get into a great residency. Maybe in the future before commenting on a video, actually do some research before making an ignorant comment like this. Thanks and have a great day in business.
@@NeishaG yeah no, was trying to be nice here but F it …that’s why you’re at a 3rd rate medical school after being kicked out of a 2nd rate one, thinking that extra curriculars are gonna make up for your lack of results. No one wants a doctor that spent all her time outside of the library, working on their student body president skills and making every excuse in the book as to why her teachers didn’t hold her hand harder.
@@12monkies123 Glad to see your focus on rankings and assumptions about my journey. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here developing the empathy and resilience that actually make a great doctor. But thanks for the unsolicited advice; I’m sure it’ll serve me well-just like those extra-curriculars.
I want to be your bestie already 🤭I'm from Kenya and girl,I remember myself in one of the medical schools here in Kenya. I failed 😑I hated everything about me but I graduated in 2021 and now awaiting my internship this august. You can do this
Awww girl you’re so sweet!! I always love making new besties ☺️ I’m so sorry to hear that, but I’m so happy to hear you’re able to graduate and you’re awaiting your internship! That’s amazing congrats girl! I’m proud of you & it’s so inspiring 🥰
I had an issue with med4 as well. There were many issues with the fafsa for US students. After they released about 10 ppl that term, they suggest SMU (sister school) in Cayman. Again, same kind of issues. I am at a different school almost finished. You are not alone. Don’t give up on your dreams.
Thank you so much! I'm so sorry to hear about your situation but I'm happy to hear you're almost done! Best of luck to you and there's to you being a great doctor! 🤗
MUA did not deserve your brilliance and talents! 🌟 You are so incredibly humble, intelligent and hard-working. 💖 Shame on them for pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars from students and leaving them high and dry. That is SLIMY. I hope legal action is taken at some point in time from someone and justice is served HOT to MUA. It is definitely not right. But you are right, to say that everything happens for a reason, you learned so much and garnered so many essential skills to transfer into your new medical path. I congratulate you for not giving up and pursuing your dreams. Do NOT give up girl! You clearly have the passion, pursue your dreams. Don’t let anyone or any institution for that matter tell you, you can’t do something! Be proud of yourself, you are amazing and an inspiration! 🌷🌷🌷🌷
Awww girl! This comment literally just made my day! 🥹♥️🥰 this is so sweet of you, truly I appreciate all the kind words and words of support! I really hope legal action is taken at some point, what had happened truly wasn’t right & it’s unfortunate it happens to so many students too! Thank you! That’s all I have to do going forward, keep on pushing & having that passion & drive knowing I will succeed & obtain that MD! Thank you so much once again for the love & support! I really appreciate it & happy to have you supporting my journey! 🥰♥️
Of course! Honesty and clarity is only the best in these situations. AUA has been a good school thus far but it still is a Caribbean medical school at the end of the day, so you still are considered an IMG. I would do some research and speak to an advisor to ensure it’s a right fit for you and you have the prerequisite and such! :)
Hey everyone, this video is my story and something that has effected me tremendously over the past few months. Please keep the comments kind. What experience has turned your life into a 180? ✨
Oof. I feel bad for you. I hope you can get into another med school and if not at the very least a grad school. All the money wasted for the tuition, bills, everything that happens.
Just let me know if you need anything and we'll be here for you.
@@nkyizs4904 So, I'm guessing you didn't watch the entire video from this comment which I clearly state I did in fact get accepted into another medical school.
@@nkyizs4904 Thank you, I appreciate that.
Thank you for this video. I got dismissed yesterday from nursing school, 2nd semester. Thank you for helping me through this.
Listen don't be so hard on yourself. I got dismissed from 2 schools and finally graduated from my third and am in my 2nd year of residency in general surgery. if you are still passionate about medicine, keep moving forward. there are schools like st James and AUSOMA that will easily take you.
I'm so sorry to hear everything you went through, but I'm really happy to year about all the success and that you're starting your residency in general surgery, THATS AMAZING! i'm really happy you're able to push through and not give up on your dreams! Thank you, I am very much passionate about medicine and I did get into another school that I'll be attending in 2023! 🤗 thank you for the support and sharing your story, and I wish you much success in your residency! Keep saving lives! 💛
@@NeishaG Do you mind sharing what school? I can give you some advice or help you connect with some people who are there and can help you with your journey. just stay consistent.
@@michaelsingh8346 I'm not doing to share it here, but you can message me on instagram and we can discuss it further!
wow, I love this. Thanks for the encouragement.
@@CLDRwrld sure thing. what's up?
I am a retired nephrologist. Your video broke my heart. I wish you all the best. Don't ever give up. You will be just fine.
Thank you so much for watching and empathizing with my video! Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words ♥️
I can't believe they had the audacity to ask you to do the last minute tour and still not accept your appeal. They're literal criminals, using students as free labour. Student guides are always paid in other universities. They clearly used you at the end, getting your hopes up of the appeal getting accepted if you did the tour. Despicable staff, I hope they get what's coming to them.
Thank you for that! Trust me, I was livid when all of that happened & in such disbelief with how much I was used just to have that outcome. I’m just happy that my situation is different now regardless of the injustice that occurred 🫶🏽
\
Hahaha the lack of tact there. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought WTF. All of it, combined, just shows how bad the school was, however, as opposed to any blame falling on this student. And now she's got 101k views to his video, including the now-embarrassed admins and those who never heard her out!
I am also a student in the Caribbean and they do behave like this, they make things hard for the students deliberately, especially if you are a foreign student.
That's shameful and according to them "they need medical professionals like doctors sooo badly" xD they're a joke. Definitely won't be attending there for my med school journey!
This is so insane, it’s like hearing a movie! I’m incredibly sorry you had to go through all of that. You should not have been treated that way and this entire situation could’ve been handled so much differently. Stay strong beautiful, you will achieve your dreams and goals! And congratulations on getting into a new school! I’m very proud of you! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and words of support, it’s really sweet. And thank you, trust me, I’m not giving up! ♥️🥰
Thank you for being transparent about your journey. I was also kicked out of medical school in my first year and the failure was one of the hardest things to process. It took a while for me to deal with the situation let alone talk about it. Your video validated so much of the feelings I could never open up about.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! I’m so sorry to hear you experienced the same thing, it’s so tough to go through but I’m grateful we were able to make it through and not give up! Our feelings are very much valid and will only add to be an incredible doctor that we are! It really means a lot to hear you say that, thank you so much! ♥️
I almost got dismissed from my med school back in 2009. I can only tell you, as someone who almost failed in this "medical education" system to eventually having worked in the field for 9 years now, a lot of med schools these days are just out of touch with the reality and practice in medicine. Like literally you don't even need to learn the 90% stuff you were taught in med school in order to be great doctors. It's a disconnected and corrupt system that sucks a lot of money out of students who aspire to be in medical field working.
I've heard many doctors now say this! That majority of things learned in medical school is very outdated and the curriculum needs a massive upgrade! I just wonder when they'll ever do that and realize that the system isn't helping anyone to succeed.
@@NeishaGhonestly that’s how it is with nursing and Nurse Practitioner schools. Most of the things you learn in school is different from actually working. Keep pushing girl and God bless you and your studies. Go be a doctor.
That is absolutely true. It is a series of hoop jumping and memorization of whatever they want you to spout out on a test as a right answer, which may not be correct at all. Medical school is survival camp. Dog eat dog. Not a nice place. A lot of stress to see if you can survive it. Burnout is the end result. That is why so many doctors are actually leaving medicine for something else. It isn't about helping people, it is about serving the pharmaceutical industry.
This video was in my recommended even though I don't study medicine; I'm in my junior year of engineering. I just wanted to say that I applaud you for your perseverance and also for not giving up. It's inspiring to see people go through thick and thin to achieve their dreams.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that! 🥹
I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so sad that medical schools talk so much about the virtue of compassion yet your school didn't seem to show any toward you in this situation. I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I know God has better plans for you. This could be a blessing in disguise, mark my words. Keep your head up.
Thank you so much for this, it’s very kind of you! I agree, as students we’re taught that we need to have compassion but schools have 0 compassion when it comes to their students. Thank you so much, I agree, God has better plans and everything happens for the best! I appreciate you comment so much 🥹🤍
This is soo heartbreaking. The fact that you do not give up on your dream shows me how good of a doctor you are going to be!!! ❤
It definitely was traumatic. Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me! There’s so much power in believing in yourself & never give up on your goals! 🫶🏽♥️
What a horrible stressful situation! I am proud of you for moving forward and applying for other schools. It’s insane that they did this to you and didn’t hear you out. As a student that just got accepted to a Caribbean Medical School, this is insightful knowledge. I will most definitely check and read that handbook.
Thank you so much for this comment! Congratulations on getting into medical school! Literally the entire reason why I filmed it is to provide insight so it doesn’t happen to anyone else, so really read that handbook, and I’m wishing you all the best and much success in your medical school journey! ☺️🤗
“What you seek, is seeking you” I have faith you’ll find your way ❤
Thank you so much, this is so sweet 🥹🤍
This is so sad to hear, I'm fighting through the water works because this hurts to listen to. I'm sorry you had to go through this and everything that has happened to you. Always remember you can't get success from failure and you will come out on top through perseverance and staying strong! keep it up, I am routing for you! ❤❤
Thank you so much for the kind words, it definitely wasn't easy but I'm glad I was able to get my story out there and for anyone else that have gone through this or is experiencing this right now. Thank you very much for the support, I greatly appreciate it! ❤
I am so sorry that you had to go through this. You are strong and will make it out as a Doctor! I'm sending you my best wishes and I know you will get through this!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the wishes!
@DonnellOkafor0304 I don't understand what you get for putting others down. Say what you want, but you cannot determine anyone's success or failures.
Hi, just want to say as someone who is now an aerospace engineer I fell really hard in my studies a few years back too. I struggled alot to get back to a place where I was okay. So just wanted to say looking at where you are now and seeing what you went through I think it's super impressive and definitely an inspiration that you didn't let this hold you back. You're an inspiration to me:)
Aww thank you so much for this comment, I really appreciate it! I’m so sorry to hear about your hardships in your studies but I’m very happy to hear that you’re now an aerospace engineer! THATS INCREDIBLE! You are my inspiration! 🥹😍🤍
Thank you for being so transparent. You have no idea how common dismissals are in medical programs.. please keep sharing your story 🤍
Thank you for taking the time to watch! Oh yeah girl, I’ve heard so many stories from so many students and it’s so sad to hear how common this is. I definitely will, thank you again for the support! ♥️
I admire your persistence in continuing on despite such an agonizing setback. I don't think the school treated you fairly at all, and it just looks really bad on them. As a student I would think twice before attending there. I hope you go on to become a great doctor! We all make mistakes - I'm glad you got a second chance elsewhere.
Thank you so much for this message, it was really sweet of you! Thank you for understanding, we all make mistakes and no human is perfect, and we’re all dealt with different cards in life. I really appreciate your kindness and well wishes 🤍🤗
I'm so sorry you went through that. You were really treated unfairly. That school didn't deserve you as a student so I'm glad you ended up getting accepted somewhere undoubtably better and deserving of your contributions and vigor. Thank you for sharing your story to prevent others from having a similar experience. Congrats on your acceptance into a new school! New sub❤
Thank you so much for this comment! It really means a lot! It was honestly the worst feeling ever going through that but I always told myself everything happens for a reason and I can’t give up now! Thank you so much and appreciate you subscribing to my channel! 🥰♥️
It's so unfortunate that you had to go through this. I'm really really happy that you were able to come out on the other side. I'm so happy that you're able to complete this journey. You have grown so much from this situation!
Thank you so much maycee for the love and support! I really appreciate it! 🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing your story, it was really brave of you to do so. I was looking at Reddit and saw some of the Caribbean med school stories but didn’t know if I should believe them or not so I know it must’ve taken a lot of courage to make this video.
You’re very inspirational seeing now that you’re doing so well at your new school and you’re working hard to be a doctor. It’s sad to see some of the comments on here not understanding the situation and the fact it’s not easy going through medical school, let alone in another country.
You always have my support & I can’t wait to see you graduate as a doctor ❤🎉
Thank you for taking the time to watch and understand my situation! Thank you so much for these kind words, really appreciate the love & support ❤️
Wow that was a lot you went through! I'm glad you got accepted into another med school! You definitely didn't deserve to get kicked out. But you're gonna finish med school and become a doctor for sure :)
Thank you so much! It was hard to endure but everyone is felt with different cards in life, but it won’t stop me from graduating medical school and becoming the doctor I dream to be! 🤗🤍
Thank you for sharing your journey and I admire your persistence. I also got kicked out during my third year of med school and right now, I have a lot of uncertainties. It was really a lot to process for failing a subject just for a few marks from the passing score. Despite the setbacks, I am determined to continue my med journey. Your video is quite validating as some of my family can't really understand the struggle to juggle family matters and studying. I also gone through the emotional and mental exhaustion and it is really hard to open up about it to my tutors. I am still in the process of looking for another opportunity somewhere else.. Praying for the continuation of your journey. Hope you'll prove the school that you will become a competent doctor in the future.. I am glad you had a second chance elsewhere.. It is a season of growth and all about learning from our failures that matters❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video, and I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. What I learned is regardless if something good or bad happens, someone always has something to say, so it's best to continue on making your dreams come true no matter what happens! Continue on your Medical journey if that's something you want to do, and I believe and support you 100%! Failure is always a part of life and you will make it to becoming a doctor, remember everyones journey is different, but the end goal is near in sight 🤗❤️
Neisha, thank you for sharing such a emotional topic. I feel for you when you talk about how difficult medical school is. As a medical student, I can empathize with you in the obstacles and challenges that medical schools throw at us. However, this is not meant for everyone. In addition, some schools are harder than others. Having the mental power and ability along with the hard work and dedication can help one get through the tribulations. At the end of the day it is truly important for you to do what is in the best for you. The fact that you are able to walk away from something like this shows tremendous strength in your ability to do what is best for yourself. I wish nothing but the best for you. Thank you for sharing!
Neisha- the same thing happened to me (but not med school) - an advisor gave me information that was not accurate, omitted other consequences, etc. I ended up having to stop pursuing my Chemistry major after 1.5 years of the curriculum. I hope things work out for you 💪🏻
I’m so sorry to hear that! It’s such a disappointing moment for one to endure and I hope everything works out for you! Thank you for the words of encouragement 🤗
Same with me. The school advisor screwed me over and I got suspended.
One class changed a person's future.
It really did
This is absolutely unbelievable, corrupt & shady practice by the school. Thank you for sharing your story, I can imagine this happening to so many students, but we don't know or hear about it because they don't have the same platform/base you do. Thank you for bringing awareness.
To have this happen to you, and get yourself back up and transfer and start again from scratch, if that's not resilience, I don't know what is. So, keep fighting and never give up on your dream. The school simply stole the money, I imagine they do this to many students, enroll a bunch of people, when they make it to semester 4-5, the school panics that it probably needs to get rid of half the class because they probably don't have enough clinical spots, so they start making things difficult. For example, the paper/scantron test, the fu$%? Is this the 1990s? They knew what they were doing, they gave a difficult course, the semester was impossible to pass. They got what they wanted, students money, and failing half the class. The fact that it was sent to 16 other students?! Not a coincidence. I think what upsets me the most about this, is the fact the dean didn't have the audacity to take students meetings. This tells you A LOT about this school, and how they're running it.
Definitely avoiding Medical University of America at ALL COSTS!
Yes, thank you for understanding the entirety of the situation! Everything was truly gut wrenching and you nailed everything to the tea! But, on the other hand, I'm happy and so thankful I was able to go somewhere else for school, like they say, everything happens for a reason. Thank youso much for your support and kind words, it doesn't go unnoticed, and thank you for taking the time to watch and hear my story ❤️
Do EVERYTHING in your power to pass at this second school. I know medical school is unbelievably hard, and the amount of info, I can only imagine. But the best way to come on top of this, is by graduating, matching, and giving a big FU finger to this last school LOL. Plus, 10 years from now, you can look back and remember what a dark hole you came out of, and how far you came. @@NeishaG
My ex-friend got dismissed from dental school during our 3rd year; he said he faced a lot of racial discrimination - which is true because I faced the same thing. For me I sucked it up and made it through, but he let it consume him. Instead of applying to other dental schools, he spiraled into depression and after 7 years he became extremely toxic so I broke off my friendship with him. I wish the best for you and hope you don’t give up on your dream.
I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s such a tough experience to go through and it’s for sure life changing in good and bad ways. It’s sad to hear he didn’t take it well, but I’m glad to hear you were able to cope and make hard decisions for your success! Keep going to chase your dreams, you got this! And thank you! ☺️
Lol i failed and attempted suicide, luckilee it failed but man it still hurts to this day and i cant stop thinking of dying
Neisha- thank you so much for speaking on this experience. You have no idea how grateful I am to have come across this video and listening to you reflect on your experience in such a productive way helped me process my med school dismissal as well that also felt unfair and due to admin sticking strictly to the handbook. at the end of the day, everything happens for a reason. We can do it and we are going to be amazing, stronger doctors at the end of the day for this.
Im so sorry to hear that happened to you! It warms my heart that my video helped you through it! I agree, what happens really hurts but we’ll be stronger and better doctors at the end of the day, and we always got to be strong and be our best supporters and believers! You got this, I wish you the very best and know you are intelligent, strong and you will get through this 🤍🥰
It's the last minute tour for me 😒. I hate how hard it is for Canadian pre-meds. So many are forced to endure those shady for-profit Carribean schools and it's not fair. They have 0 compassion for their students. You're on your own. I hate that you had to experience that and I wish you all the best at your new school ❤️
LOOL YESSS! Finally someone who gets it!! Literally I was fed to the wolves and it was the worst, but I’m glad I was able to continue my journey elsewhere! Thank you for this girl, when life throws obstacles, you got to go through it and make your path known 👏🏽🥰♥️
Don't go to the carribeans. If you have to, go to UK, Ireland, or Australia. Its well known carribean schools are pretty much scams
I’m so sorry to hear this. I can’t imagine going through all of this and that too by yourself. You are so brave and raw for sharing this. I kept hoping they would take you back but I guess Life has different and amazing plans for you❤️ I know you’re gonna do amazing no matter what happens and which path you take. I’m rooting for you❤️ and I know you’ll come out of this stronger and better.
Thank you so much Herleen, this was very tough to endure by myself and I literally had nothing to distract me either as there weren't any malls or anything on the island. I really appreciate and am so thankful for the kind words, support and motivation. It really means so much to me, thank you! ❤❤
My heart goes out to you, know we're here to support you and know you'll be the best doctor out there!😊
Thank you so much!! 🤗🤗
Aww I’m so sorry to hear you went through this Neisha! I know you have a great head on your shoulders & you’ll get through this tough time. Keep your head up! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Colleen, I really appreciate your words of support! ❤❤
Degree or not... you are valuable & loved. You are who you are when you are around ppl. ✨️ keep spreading love & kindness
Thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you! It’s very well said, the true is is the person we are and how we treat people. Thank you for the support 🥰♥️
Thank you for being so open and honest about your experience. I wish you best of luck on your journey to becoming a great doctor!
Thank you so much! 🤗
I'm so glad you documented this event. I felt the same way when I withdrew from a certified registered nurse anesthesia program and tried to get back in but was denied. It was literally the worst year of my life. I felt like my life was over. I'm really glad you were given a second chance at another school. I know med school and CRNA school are vastly different but this video kind of gives me hope to try again. Blessings to you and your studies and I can't wait to see the vlog when you've completed.
Thank you so so much for this comment! I’m so sorry to hear what you went through with your program, I literally can relate to the feeling but don’t give up! Try again and keep going for your goals! Everything happens for a reason and it will work out for you! Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for the kind wishes 🥹🥰♥️
I’m so glad you’re sharing your story. This is a very important lesson that medical students need to understand during school and beyond. Your school is not your friend! An older friend told me this before I started med school and it has helped me time and time again. I never speak to the admins or professors in person; everything is in writing over email. It helped me to pull up an email whenever an admin or prof tried to something. Esp for women, minority students, you’ve got to watch your back! You did so much for your school and it’s so hurtful to see that they just threw you to the side when it was most convenient for them
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video. I completely agree, especially when studying abroad in the Caribbean, the school is not our friend and we have to ensure we always watch our backs especially being minorities! Everything going forward will always be in writing! This experience was all lessons learned and I’m glad I got to go to another school and start over to much better things. Everything always happens for a reason ♥️🥰
Neisha, you are brave, intelligent, and caring. You have a long life ahead of you. This might be a blessing.
Thank you so much! It definitely was a blessing in disguise!
Just saw this video. Most definitely NOT the end of the world! Trust me when I say, every setback is a blessing. You got this! No matter if it's applying to other med schools or taking a different path, as long as you live your most authentic life and live the life YOU want (no other expectations), then that's all that matter. Peace and love! Keep ya head up! :)
Thank you so much, I completely agree with you! When life hits us, we got to keep pushing and never giving up! 🤗🥹
You can definitely talk about this experience in your residency application and what you did to go forward. You will be a great doctor bc of your resiliency
Thank you so much, I definitely will include it because it had such a huge impact in my life as well! 🤍
The whole thing could honestly have been handled way better on the school’s end. I’m so sorry you went through that. I’m just glad you’re going to be able to finish up.
Best wishes 🤗
I completely agree, everything about this entire situation could've been handled differently. Thank you so much for the kind wishes, I really appreciate it, thank you! ❤❤
I remember having a very similar scenario to yours with a class back at UofT. It had to do with me handing in a late paper. Luckily for me when I argued my case about my paper not being accepted after a certain date I used and quoted the course syllabus like crazy to make them change their decision and it worked. It sucks but sometimes these syllabus/book guidelines are filled with ways that you can win an appeal. Also I can't even imagine how difficult that was getting that terrible news on that one day and knowing all that hard work for those 2 years and money all gone. I hope your parents and other family was supportive of you through that extremely difficult time.
I really am sorry love that is has happened to you - this was not fair at all my love but I believe better things await for you ❤❤ you did everything to support your case and maybe this had to happen so a better experience can come your way. My sweet, hardworking, loving and caring soul will become a doctor - you keep fighting and you deserve the world, remember that!!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sara for the kind words and support throughout this journey! It really means a lot to me! Exactly, I feel like this happened to me for a reason and it's meant to make me a better person and succeed more in my medical school journey! All I can do is learn from it and find the opportunities to grow and succeed ❤ Thank you so so much, I love you so much and thank you for being by my side! ❤🤗🥰
@@NeishaG You will always have my support and I will always stand by you ❤❤ No need to thank me sweetheart - to a bright future ahead! I love you ❤❤

Dude this story made me so mad. Caribbean schools have the worst appeals committee. This would have never happened in a US school. Your story made me blood boil and I can't believe they screwed you over. I'm sorry you had to go through this and I promise that you'll become a wonderful physician in the future! It's God's way of testing your patience and determination. Best of luck Neisha.
how did your blood boil, on cooker?
@@gknkrnkjgjugjrgjrng It seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the English language
Thank you so much, I really appreciate what you said! It honestly sucks so much and it made me so mad, but everything happens for a reason and like you said, it’s Gods way of testing how badly I want to do this, and with any medical profession, it’s all sacrifice to reap the rewards! So I just got to keep pushing and working hard! Thank you so much! 🤍🤗
UTRGV is in Texas. I dropped a class June 2, 2023, in time for a 100% refund. Instead, the school’s registrar refused to drop the class despite having a “higher up” email the registrar asking why the class hadn’t been dropped. I then received an email from the financial aid director stating I need to withdraw from the class and i was now eligible for a 0% refund. They wanted to keep $2k of my student loans for a class that I dropped. The W would also suspend me from financial aid eligibility and would put me on an academic probation for 2 semesters. I filed a formal complaint with the Dept of Ed (federal) and TX Board of High Ed (state).
ALL schools have their problem staff 😊
@@Akhal-teke no schools dont have problem with their staff, its only you who has problem
You're so articulate and gracious about this very difficult situation.
Thank you so much!! That’s the only way to get through it 🤍
I am sorry to hear about your experience:( You are an intelligent woman & never give up!! You'll be a great Dr.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind wishes 🥹🤍
You are beyond amazing! You have so much insight and do not deserve this. What a great idea for you to post this for others. Wow. I’m sick to my stomach for you.
Thank you so so much, I really appreciate your empathy 🥰 I know it was horrible to endure, but everyone’s journey is different and we find ways to continue and overcome them! 🤗
Many many hugs! Thank you for having the courage for sharing your story. You are ambitious and insightful, and deserve so much better than how the officials at the school treated you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! Really appreciate the kind words 🥹🤍
No way. I was in the exact same situation as you in the same time. Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience, not everyone has the courage to accept this and move on and stay positive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you, and i wish you nothing but success in your future endeavors ♡
I’m so sorry to hear it happened you as well! I hope everything is going well for you. Thank you so much, it’s very sincere of you. Wishing you all the best and thank you very much for the support 🤍
First of all thank you so much for sharing! It is definitely not easy & it's so hard to pick yourself back up & continue on the journey. Same thing happened to me at MUA & YES they do deserve the negativity that's coming their way. They've screwed over a lot of my classmates as well. It's shocking to me how little they care about students compared to US schools esp the so called dean. The anxiety & depression this place gave me is mind boggling. I'm glad it worked out for you & now you're attending a BETTER school. Best wishes to you! - Fellow medical provider, PA :)
Thank you so much for this comment, I really appreciate it you taking time to watch my video & hear my story! I'm so sorry the same thing happened to you while you were at MUA, but I'm happy to hear that you are now a PA, that's incredible and very motivating to know that you got your dream career! It definitely wasn't easy and took a lot of soul searching and working through everything, but I'm so happy that everything worked out for the better and I'm continuing my medical school journey! Thank you so much! ☺️
You are very brave!
Thank you for doing this. You are showing the side which is hard to share and how to cope up and how to get back on track.This is real life and very inspiring!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and understand my story! It took a lot of debating whether to make this video or not, but I'm happy to share my story! Thank you for the kind words! :)
Your story is truly inspiring. God bless you !! You have what it takes to be an incredible physician and your patients will be truly fortunate having you as you doctor.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you saying that and empathizing with my situation 🤍
Can’t wait to see you win and become a doctor girl!
Omg thank you so much for this comment! It’s so sweet of you thank you 🥹🥹
Everything happens for a reason, and you're going to move on from this trauma a better person. Best of luck on your journey moving forward.
I agree, everything in life happens for a reason and we definitely can use that to grow and succeed and take that as a stepping stone. Thank you so much for the best wishes, I really appreciate it! 🤗
Wow the University really did you dirty huh 😒 It’s their loss. You’re gonna be an absolutely incredible Doctor. I know you’ll find somewhere much better. ❤️
Thank you for that! Honestly I don’t regret what happened because everything happened for a reason and now I have a better background on the material! Everything happens for a reason 🤍
I never thought that I would encounter this video here. I got dismissed last year, around May here in my own country. I actually tried searching for videos here on youtube like "kick out of med school" and the like but I haven't found anything. I was so depressed. In my case tho, I've already repeated subjects in my school, reason for my dismissal is that I failed 3 subjects and I didn't meet the maintaining grade/percentage. No formal letter. We, students, who got dismissed is the one who should message the committee etc. It was so painful. I already transferred. to a new school now but I still haven't fully moveed on. The time, energy, friends that I made.. all wasted :(
I’m so sorry that happened to you! Honestly, I really feel you’re pain, everything you felt, I felt as well, and it sucks so much because it’s all time, money and energy spent 😭 I’m happy to hear that you transferred to a new school, I’m wishing you all the best! I know it’s all wasted but just got to look at it as an experience and life has its challenges. Everything happens for a reason and you aren’t meant to be at you’re new school! Goodluck, sending you love! 🫶🏽🤍
@@NeishaG Yes. This video really insipired me so much. There are still bad days for me tho. But thank you for your uplifting words even though I know that it’s not easy. Really, your vlogs give me so much joy, plus the Carribean is so beautiful!!! ❤
@@meowy5665 there are people that lost way more years due to other issues, be grateful, two years lost is relatively less compared to some people and career changers
First thing, thank you so much for your humility and all in sharing this. Second, something very similar happened to me where I got hit by a car and nearly killed as a student but the appeals committee didn't care about my appeal so I moved from Calgary, Canada to Berlin, Germany where I'm starting over fresh and studying aerospace engineering. These unfair situations in academia are heart-wrenching and horrible! You are a strong and beautiful young lady, not to mention incredibly talented too. I'm actually glad you didn't have the finances necessary to find a lawyer, because schools are heartless with litigation and they can take years and years. I lost faith in humanity through filing a mini suit against my school. It's the MUA's loss!!! All the best to you, future doc Neisha. (PS my parents are doctors and you're made for this!)
Thank you so so much for this comment, I really appreciate the kind-hearted words and encouragement! I'm so sorry to hear about your experience, but I'm so proud and happy to hear that you continued your education although it was in a different location, nevertheless, you didn't let anything or anyone bring you down! Thank you for that, I really beleive that everything happens for a reason and I've heard about previous students actually getting a lawyer and nothing crazy life-changing coming out of it which is unfortuante that this really does happen to many students in academia. But thank you again, and I wish you all the best and much success! ❤️
Everything happens for a reason! I was kicked out of dental school about 10 years ago. I was very lost and depressed for a while. I taught for a while and got my master's. I recently got a job at a university, and I am earning my Doctor of Public Health degree here. The best part is that my job pays for most of my education, and I have received many scholarships, fellowships, etc., since starting the program. Keep trusting and believing in God, and He will put you where you need to be!
YESS I LOVE TO SEE THIS SUCCESS! Failure always happens before success but it’s how we pick ourselves up and keep working at it to succeed! I’m very happy to hear about your success and I continue to wish you well!! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your story! ♥️
Let me first say youre absolutely beautiful. Your video touched my heart in a very special way. Secondly let me say you not getting a second chance at the school was certainly their loss. You are going to be an amazing doctor and I wish you well.
Aww thank you so much, I really appreciate the love & support! In no way am I going to let the school stop me, I’m going to keep pushing and get that MD! 🤗
So sorry to hear what happened, and you do deserve another chance for sure , I don't think they looked at your letter , in my opinion I would have your thoughts shared so everyone knows about the school , your beautiful, smart and inspiring so never give up on any goals 😊 ❤️

Absolutely heartbreaking.
Thank you for understanding!
If you are premed, this is why Caribbean schools are talked down upon on sdn and Reddit. They are for profit institutions that do not follow US accreditation standards due to being offshore and engage in unethical and predatory behavior that ultimately harms students. Caribbean schools have no problem failing out more than half their class since there is no way they can accommodate all their students during clinical rotations. Also match rates in the US are abysmal due to stigma. Do not go this route unless it’s your last resort.
They are for-profit schools however everything else you said is very false information. Most of these schools are accredited and have audited visits to ensure they're up to US standards and their head offices are based in the states. The match rates are no bad, I don't know what statistics you're looking at but a lot of residency spots went unmatched and hundred of IMG students were able to match into their residencies. I suggest clearly not reading your information on Reddit and those sites and they're very inaccurate and changing your resources. Its not a last resort as many students especially Canadian students cannot get into a medical school in Canada because the admissions are VERY LOW to get in with the lack of schools and seats available, where majority of Canadians are actually at Caribbean medical schools.
@@NeishaG the match rates are def bad if youre not in the popular carib schools. Also it's way harder to match into competitive specialties. Carib schools def seem less forgiving when it comes to failing students. It def is a last resort for most american ppl. Maybe not for Canadians. The reddit warnings have a lot of truth to them.
@@NeishaGhe’s right. You’re a Canadian studying there as an international student. Even if they’re accredited, in the event of mishandling situation that involves a lawyer and a court, the head office in the states will put the entire blame on the institution in the Carib. There’s a business model that only a good lawyer can expose but they know students are already in debt and wouldn’t risk it.
Congratulations for getting into a new one!!
Thank you so much!! 🥹♥️
I’m glad to see your video.
I was put into Academic Dismissal suspension. In my case I was an international student. I struggling in one with one class. The school advisor told me that if for some reason I failed a written/practicum test I can redo it, so that’s why I stayed in the class that I struggling.
I was able to study on second semester, but in the middle and almost finishing the semester the advisor told me that I was put in “approbation” because of one failed class. I told her that I studied for the redo test, but I’ve never received the invitation to do it. Then I reunited with the register officer and the advisor to explained my struggles etc and make the letter of appeal (this happened before I discovered that I was already suspended).
I was able to do my final exams and nobody was aware that I was already out.
One week after vacation I arrived to campus and went through moodle page and I didn’t saw any my new classes enrolled so I suspected that something happened.
I went through to the emails and I found out that I was suspended on August 10 (saw the letter on Sept 03).
Then I found out that the register officer and advisor didn’t followed the policy.
Imagine travelled 12 hours and found out that you’re out.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you! It's so unfortunate and the school is at fault for being that disorganized that they failed to update you accordingly. It would've saved you so much time and money with travel.
I understand and resonate with your situation. Keep your head high, take time out for yourself, take a mental break, then regroup again to deicide your next steps. Everything happens for a reason and you will get through this! ❤️
So glad a new opportunity is available. You’re going to be a wonderful doctor ❤
Thank you so much, really appreciate your kind words and positivity 🥹🥰🙏🏽

@@NeishaG Intense but not tedious! You gave us a full, thorough insight into what happened. Thank you again for sharing. And I hope your next school is even better! 💖💖
If you go back to medical school cut out alot of the social stuff and just concentrate on your work as much as you can. Good luck in the future.
You are absolutely correct. She was too busy with co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to be successful in medical school. She literally said "I didn't think they would release me because I was so involved and I had good grades, etc....". None of that has to do with the quantitative data...either you pass the tests or you don't. I hope she's more focused and doing better.
This doesn't apply to just medical school, this applies to MOST, IF NOT ALL COLLEGES. I went to business school, if you withdraw or fail 2 courses, you get on probation and/or expelled from the institution. That's how it works.
Again, not a lot of people are aware because many did well in their undergraduate studies. And my university didn’t have that (not that I was at least aware of). However in this case, there was a huge lack of communication with the consequences of the actions I took here because it was done during Covid, and I did seek advice and was given wrongful information.
people really don't understand how cut throat Caribbean medical schools can be, sorry this happened to you. Looking back what a wild ride going to medical school out there was - we were really fighting for our lives! I hope it is all working out for you!
Thank you so much and i agree! A lot of people don't realize all the stuff that happens behind the scenes in the Caribbean route since they believe its the much easier route when it really isn't like that 😭 It's been good so far, can't wait until I'm done! 😅

I failed the same course, in the same school. This was the worse class ever taught and the administration doesn't give a shit, I had the option to retake it but I won't take it at this school, it's BS.
I completely agree, it was just so much and wasn't taught the way that would make students succeed and actually retain the information long term. I hope you were able to retake it at another school and hope everything is going well for you 🤗❤
I know that feeling and also being an immigrant child with no money. There are so many privileged medstudent who got their parents pay everything for them, but that isnt the case for us. But I see that you got accepted to a different medschool, YOU go girl! Glad to see that you continued your dream path.
Exactly, our situation is very different and we always have to be extra cautious especially when it comes to things like this. Thank you so much! Im very happy and thankful I got into a new school and can’t wait to complete my medical school journey 🤍
That would suck. I find that you sort of blame others tho. A good life lesson. Yes, read everything especially the hand book. Never take anyone's word. Double, triple check everything and never count on anyone but yourself. Talking about suing a medical school is pretty extreme to say ( even though you have no intention on doing that because of financial reasons). They have strict rules for good reasons. And you never met their requirements. It's as simple as that. Don't forget that being a doctor is also being professional at all times. All the best in you're new school. One more thing. Its an awesome feeling to do good for others. But its not worth it if you expect something in return.
You clearly did not watch the video. Never once said I intended or planned to sue the school. Taking irrelevant criticism from someone called time traveller? No thanks.
Woow this is a lot. I hope the day when you finish your education is not far in the future. Good Luck with everything.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! It was definitely a lot, but I’m glad to keep on pushing ♥️♥️
I do not like what happened to you. So heartbreaking and scary.

I will sound harsh. But this is just a business, they use international students to bank the tuitions from the first years. After that you become replaceable, the more free spots the more students they can accept.
I think it’s very important for anyone who wishes to go to a Caribbean school to note that these are FOR-PROFIT institutions. They do not care about the dreams of their students, nor whether or not they succeed (a lot of data suggests that many of them don’t)
This is not true. Everyone is an international student when it comes to a Caribbean medical school. They are for-profit schools. Currently right now their class sizes have downsized to 12 students, and they decreased their tuition. They can accept how many students but its the students choice to go there after the acceptance since they're currently struggling with numbers.
Oh Wowww! Put on probation due to withdrawing from 2 classes!? It would have been nice for someone to point that out verbally. Student handbooks are hard to digest.
So after hearing your strong recommendation about reading the student handbook, I would then suggest that students sit down with admin or a counselor if they have questions about the handbook and go through it together.
I know right! It seems very extreme to me that just from withdrawing from courses that that would count for being put on probation. But unfortunately that's how it was and I wish I was told that prior to making the decision to withdraw.
@@yahainHotPink That would be very nice, but again, it's the trust with admin and certain people that work for the school. and personally the admin or counsellors at international medical schools aren't the greatest for support and questions like that. It's a great idea for sure, but it comes with so much confusion
Hey, don’t want to rub salt in the wound but this is a genuine question. I understand that the standards are quite high to matriculate into both Canadian and U.S.(MD/DO) programs. I myself have been undergoing the 2022-2023 cycle.
Why did you choose to pursue a Caribbean Med school? Do you think that may have played a role in the faculty not being as helpful to you? In general, do you think you were academically ready for Medical School? With the time frame you mention, I assume you got accepted to another Caribbean Med School. Why are you choosing to pursue that choice again?
I really do not want to come across as rude or insulting. However, it does seem that Caribbean Med schools cater to those who don’t have the credentials to matriculate elsewhere so that’s why I ask.
With the US and Canadian medical schools, there's a lot of competition and numerous students applying. Thus, there's not enough room for many students to attend schools, so students go to the Caribbean to study rather than going onto do a masters and PDH and then applying to medical school (that's money and years spent).
I am academically ready, however I told you my story already and that's what had happened. Nothing with me not being academically ready. To reiterate, I chose to pursue this again because I already spent 2 years studying medicine, so I'm not going to give up on my career goals.
It's not necessarily that they cater to those who don't have credentials, but there's many reasons that people go to Caribbean medical schools, such as career changes, having families, competition, etc. There's so many other reasons.
@@NeishaG Not to be mean, but why are you so set on a Caribbean medical school. I'm worried you are not fully aware of how much greener and stable it is to go to medical school in Ireland, UK or Australia. Why would you gamble your money at a school that will kick you out anytime. If you don't match you have zero options to work. You end up 200 k in debt with no way to pay it off if you don't match. At least in Ireland, UK, and Australia you can stay to work as an intern and get more experience. Caribbean schools are run by the mafia pretty much. They don't care about you.
Yes, Caribbean med schools are for those who don’t have the credentials to matriculate elsewhere. Anyone that says otherwise is either coping or intentionally misleading you. Obviously she was not academically ready which is why she was dismissed. And also why she was not accepted to a Canadian or US program.

Some definitely do make it from Caribbean Med Schools! Unfortunately, I do agree. It does seem that going to the Caribbean is a gamble that I personally would not take.
Canadian MD standards for the mcat borderline crazy though. Pretty sure, they have a pretty high CARS minimum. Also, it’s so tough to get into an American MD program with Canadian residency.
It’s seems like such a catch 22 for Canadian kids. I honestly feel bad for them.
Yeah the option to attend Caribbean schools should only be considered as an absolute last resort. It's sort of the path that pre-meds goes down if they fail to get into Irish, AUS, US MD or DO schools.
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s inspiring to learn about what you experienced and how you handled yourself in the face of this huge challenge and built a path forward. Don’t want to directly reply to the ignorant, judgmental folks, but I will write here that folks saying that the only thing that matters are grades miss a huge point about healthcare. If only grades matter, you get doctors who don’t have bedside manner and who don’t understand their role in building and nurturing community. Further, you’re right about our education system. It needs improvement and huge modifications. Happy to hear you’re not giving up.
Thank you so much for all of this, I really appreciate it being said 🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing your story. It breaks my heart to hear what happened, so sorry you had to experience this. I am so happy you decided to move forward and apply elsewhere. This does not define you and I know you will be a great physician. I look forward to seeing your future med school videos and maybe seeing you on campus!
Thank you so much, I’m thankful for your kind words and support. I 100% agree with you, this will not define me and failure is a part of success. Thank you so much and I appreciate you following my channel and videos! ♥️🥰
I am also a student in the Caribbean and the teachers and staff here only give half information and even incorrect information to the students. Also they do not help at all.
It’s so annoying, but we will get through this! We will come out as doctors!
I think it’s brave to tell your story, it helps ppl to hear about failure tbh. However, I work in business and no one cares about your feelings or your reasons that may or may not be excuses, the only thing that matters is results. I suggest you focus on studying instead of doing all the extra curricula stuff, that’s not going to help you pass an exam or treat a patient.
Please notice the number of medical school graduates not picked up for residency programs. It is highly competitive. Several vlog on RUclips describe individuals in that predicament. I agree with your with everything you said in your comment. Doctors are type A high achievers. Doing well in all their classes in medical school is the number one most important thing the student will spend their time on. The apartment can go unvacuumed, you might have to eat a sandwich or a bowl of cereal for dinner. STUDYING is your job!
That's great to hear, only if I was going into business. Of course extra curriculars aren't going to help me pass an exam or treat a patient, but if you were actually in the medical field, you would know that these are things that are needed to ADD to your resume to get into a great residency.
Maybe in the future before commenting on a video, actually do some research before making an ignorant comment like this. Thanks and have a great day in business.
@@NeishaG yeah no, was trying to be nice here but F it …that’s why you’re at a 3rd rate medical school after being kicked out of a 2nd rate one, thinking that extra curriculars are gonna make up for your lack of results. No one wants a doctor that spent all her time outside of the library, working on their student body president skills and making every excuse in the book as to why her teachers didn’t hold her hand harder.
@@12monkies123 Glad to see your focus on rankings and assumptions about my journey. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here developing the empathy and resilience that actually make a great doctor. But thanks for the unsolicited advice; I’m sure it’ll serve me well-just like those extra-curriculars.
Moral of the story never listen to advisers
For real
I want to be your bestie already 🤭I'm from Kenya and girl,I remember myself in one of the medical schools here in Kenya. I failed 😑I hated everything about me but I graduated in 2021 and now awaiting my internship this august. You can do this
Awww girl you’re so sweet!! I always love making new besties ☺️ I’m so sorry to hear that, but I’m so happy to hear you’re able to graduate and you’re awaiting your internship! That’s amazing congrats girl! I’m proud of you & it’s so inspiring 🥰
@@NeishaG Many happy returns☺️...thanks!
I had an issue with med4 as well. There were many issues with the fafsa for US students. After they released about 10 ppl that term, they suggest SMU (sister school) in Cayman. Again, same kind of issues. I am at a different school almost finished. You are not alone. Don’t give up on your dreams.
Thank you so much! I'm so sorry to hear about your situation but I'm happy to hear you're almost done! Best of luck to you and there's to you being a great doctor! 🤗
You are a fighter and deserve only the best!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words ☺️
Got kicked out of MUA too, I believe I saw you on the island. Hope you're doing better now!
I am sorry this happened to you. I wish you the best in all your future endeavors
Thank you! 🙏🏽
MUA did not deserve your brilliance and talents! 🌟
You are so incredibly humble, intelligent and hard-working. 💖 Shame on them for pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars from students and leaving them high and dry. That is SLIMY. I hope legal action is taken at some point in time from someone and justice is served HOT to MUA. It is definitely not right. But you are right, to say that everything happens for a reason, you learned so much and garnered so many essential skills to transfer into your new medical path. I congratulate you for not giving up and pursuing your dreams. Do NOT give up girl! You clearly have the passion, pursue your dreams. Don’t let anyone or any institution for that matter tell you, you can’t do something! Be proud of yourself, you are amazing and an inspiration! 🌷🌷🌷🌷
Awww girl! This comment literally just made my day! 🥹♥️🥰 this is so sweet of you, truly I appreciate all the kind words and words of support! I really hope legal action is taken at some point, what had happened truly wasn’t right & it’s unfortunate it happens to so many students too! Thank you! That’s all I have to do going forward, keep on pushing & having that passion & drive knowing I will succeed & obtain that MD!
Thank you so much once again for the love & support! I really appreciate it & happy to have you supporting my journey! 🥰♥️
Thank you for being so honest. I know the pain. I’m a 30 year old career changer thinking about going to AUA. Do you have any advice about AUA?
Of course! Honesty and clarity is only the best in these situations. AUA has been a good school thus far but it still is a Caribbean medical school at the end of the day, so you still are considered an IMG. I would do some research and speak to an advisor to ensure it’s a right fit for you and you have the prerequisite and such! :)
We love you and support you every step of the way!
Thank you!
Don't be hard on yourself. Just take a vacation. Rest your mind. And then get back up.
Thank you! Thays definitely what I did!
