Just Like Dr. Dave

This guy didn't get admitted to any of the US medical schools, so he's going to St. George's University School of Medicine. This caught my eye not out of any ill-placed Schadenfreude, but because Julio and I used to joke with each other that we were going to ditch our "career plans" (such as they are) and apply to school here-- just so that we could run away to the tropics together while maintaining the facade of persuing a career. Our parents could proudly tell people "My daughter's in medical school" while we could really be sipping piƱa coladas on the beach. I realize that this is not likely to be the case for the real world attendees of the school, but it certainly provided a good escapist fantasy on those days when you went to school for seven hours, then straight to work for a ten hour shift, and came home knowing that you had less than seven hours to eat, do homework, and get some sleep before starting over again the next day.

I wonder what the law school equivalent of St. George's is? St. Thomas School of Law? University of Hawaii at Manoa? ABA accreditation is not available to any law school outside the US, and almost every state denies admission to the bar to people who have not attended an ABA accredited law school, so there isn't really a direct equivalent.
