Meet Lysa Selli, Director of Recruitment and Admissions at St. George’s University!
Lysa has been doing this for 10 years!
She wants each of you to succeed!
Here are some things I learned:
St George’s University is on the island of Grenada. (see map)
St. George’s has more than just a Vet School. They have a Med School, a School of Graduate Studies and a School of Arts and Sciences.
Like any other Vet School, SGU is 3 years of class, 1 year of clinics. But their year of clinics… can be anywhere. You can apply to spend your last year (closer to 1.5 years) at any other vet school, in the states or abroad!
SGU is accredited and their students have to take the NAVLE (like any other school). Their NAVLE pass rate (averaged over the past 5 years) is 89%. Like anywhere else, you get out of it what you put into it.
More cool stuff:
They truly are holistic in their application assessment! They interview every single student. There is no minimum GPA. They look at the student as a whole, see if their grades have been trending up, if they are mature enough, if their experience is diversified.
They start classes for incoming students in August and Jan!
You can apply through VMCAS and through them directly!
Their Vet Students start to get hands on experience earlier than the “clinical year”, they are active on the local farms immediately.
They have a Med Vet Summer Leadership Program.
10 days. In the Caribbean. On campus. Hands on experience. Next one: June 2025.
