hilarious.

sure, the individual is responsible for learning the material, passing the courses, passing the usmle, etc...

but, the school has responsibilities as well. such as providing a degree that offers opportunity, teaching the material to a high standard, offering solid administrative support and being trustworthy.

the problem is not that those that complain about st james cannot hack it. the problem is that when you pay tuition at a medical school, you are in fact purchasing something of value. and, it has been shown over and over again that the st james experience falls far short of its peers in terms of value.

so, sure. st james can get you the minimum. if all you expect from a med school is the ability to sit the usmle, get ecfmg cert and work in a few states, than maybe st james can work out. but, if you expect a solid education, a trustworthy admin, a reasonable chance are working in all states and a school that will be around in the next few years, you are far better off going to a different school. don't hold others to task for not agreeing with your exceedingly low requirements for a med school.
