ReplyDeleteThank you. I' sure you have lots of information to share that will be very useful to our readers as well.
ReplyDeletei am very excited that SJSM has another location
ReplyDeletewow.. sjsm is really starting to get some recognition. Record number of students each semester and now a new campus... keep it up!
ReplyDeleteCool Site. Do all Caribbean medical schools graduates have the same chance of working in the US?
ReplyDeleteHow is the admission process is hard to get in.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, SJSM prides itself by guaranteeing rotation to all students with almost no waiting time.
ReplyDeleteAdmission Process
ReplyDeleteOnce your application has been submitted it will take between two and three weeks to receive a response. Please note that there is rolling admission three times a year for sessions beginning in January, May and September. You are required to submit the following information to determine if you are eligible for acceptance into Saint James School of Medicine:
• A completed application form.
• Personal essay explaining your reasons for becoming
a physician.
• Official transcripts from all colleges attended (MD applicants
only).
• Official high school transcripts (Premed applicants only).
• 2 letters of recommendation.
• One-page brief resume
• Two passport size color photos (2"X 2").
• TOFEL scores (If applicable).
• Nonrefundable application fee of $50.00 (U.S. fifty).
Following final acceptance, you will be instructed to deposit $1,000 (one thousand U.S. dollars non-refundable) to reserve your seat at SJSM. The dollar amount will be credited to your first semester tuition. Upon payment of the remaining balance you will receive a welcome packet containing pertinent information on how to settle down in Bonaire, how to prepare for classes and other documents required to apply for a residence permit in Bonaire. (See residency requirements).
Is there any way to change my admission application from january to may. I was unclear on the admission process and that there could be admission in may
ReplyDeleteYou have great information here. I go to UMHS St. Kitts, another of the medical school caribbean. Your blog will really help me better prepare for my own experiences. I will definitely come back to read more.
