The USMLE scores that recent SJ students got wouldn't have been as good as they were if the basic environment didn't allow them to study. I expect that Xavier students could also do well on Bonaire. Interesting how when a St. Mathews student got a 99 percent on USMLE 1, their threads promoted it significantly, but there was little notice of the Saint James student getting a 99 percent. I think that I only noticed it by going directly to their school website. Hopefully when Xavier get results like that you will boast them significantly on your website to encourage other students about the opportunities in the Dutch Carribean.

I will try to keep the negativity off of the website. If I came across the wrong way then I did not mean to do come across that way. I am a very positive person and believe that any person who wants to be a doctor, can be one. Like I mentioned is the previous post, I am for th student. But I also wanted to share my frustration with St. James and my other reasons why I transferred. If it comes across as negativity then I hope that my reputation as being positive will bring more credence to my words and understand these are my fair, long term observations. My words are ot far fetched or exagerated they are just the facts as I see them. I will rarely say bad things about a school, or any school. But, people wanted to know why I transferred so here it is. This will be one of the few times out of hundreds of posts that I say anything about another school. And you won't see many more in the future.
If I get any USMLE numbers for Xavier, I would be glad to parade the numbers on the website because every good student that comes out of the Caribbean is a positive for the whole Caribbean school community. I was happy to see the good numbers at St. James and I hope that continues, but my feelings remain the same about the situation for the school. I am the first to defend Caribbean schools and students but I am also to first to criticize them.
Talk to you all later. I always enjoy others opinions. 8)
