To be frank and maybe a little harsh, you will NOT be able to match into any neuro residences if you go to SGU or any other Caribbean school for that matter. You WILL be accepted to SGU, I can tell you that 100%, but it won't matter because either you will likely not do well at SGU or you won't be able to match when the time comes. People have told you over and over again that doing a PhD will not help your application because your uGPA and MCAT are the issue, not your research experience. I hate to see that you are going to be making the wrong choice because you want to be a doctor so bad. If you do a DIY post-bacc, get good grades (All A's ideally), and retake the MCAT and get a good score - you will be rewarded with acceptances to DO school and maybe even MD school. I wish you the best with everything but it's so aggravating to see you ask for advice from people, but not take any of it and then believe you'll the exception to the Caribbean rule.
You know what, I’m so sick of all you guys! What makes you think I couldn’t excel academically at SGU?
A PhD will most certainly be an asset. I’m not taking undergrad courses because I already have a Bachelors( i.e. I’m not making a sucker move). Wouldn't a post-bacc just be padding my GPA while graduate work is certainly more difficult and indicative of academic prowess? Your logic and the general logic here is weak. In addition, you're not a PD so how do YOU know that neuro is impossible?
