Cost of attending Saint James School of Medicine if one gets a free tuition
I am a premed in Canada and could not get in for 3 years despite having ~3.9 cgpa and 511 MCAT. I am currently considering St. James medical school and I have few questions for students that have an insight about the school.
- I think I would be eligible for Dr. Jay K. Pandit Memorial Scholarship which means I would get free tuition (minus fees). Which is why I'm considering going to St James to begin with because I simply can't afford it otherwise. My parents are in another country and I cannot get a co-signer for the student line of credits. Hence, I would like to ask you how much would the other costs and fees would be per year or per semester. How much is the living expenses per year?
- Any options to fund my studies? I think SJMS isn't OSAP approved... Would a saving of 80,000 Canadian dollar be enough for 4 years (living expense and fees) assuming I would get free tuition?
- I know that other Caribbean medical schools such as St. George offer a guaranteed clinical rotation in 3rd and 4th year in US hospitals. Does SJMS also guarantee a clinical rotation in the US or Canada?
Thank you
