Although there are no 3rd tier medical schools per se, there are still schools that are less competitive and offer American degrees. These include DO schools where average GPAs of accepted applicants are between 3.2-3.5 and average MCATs are from 25-30. This is well below the average at most American MD schools. Additionally, admission to Caribbean schools is even less competitive. Of course, it’s much harder to get into a competitive residency from DO/Caribbean schools, but it’s still possible with hard work and great board scores. There are options beyond MD schools in the US.
