Not one postive thing has been mentioned regarding this "merge/buyout" of St. Christopher's. So, please if you do not have proof, refrain yourself from posting rumors and your own negative opinions. As a future physician, try to show a little compassion & understanding to your fellow collegues who have chosen the same path as you by attending a foreign medical school and now they have to deal with the fact that their school had to close down. A little encourgament would go a long way.

The problem is that there is not one positive thing to say about the merger. What we have is a young, and unproven school that is so desperate for students that it had to forge an agreement with a man who screwed all of the SC students in a big way.
So, what does MUA-B bring to the table? A charter. Whoop-dee-doo. What does SC bring to the table? The potential for a few students to transfer in.
At what cost? Well, the MUA-B students that before only had to deal with being a new school are now affiliated with a defunct school, and the administration of that school, who are of very questionable character.
The people most at risk from this are the MUA-B students. If I were a student there, I would be very, very leery of this new arrangement. Now the states are clearly going to be paying more (negative) attention to you thanks to the infamous Mr. L of SC fame.
So, while you guys may wish that all was/is hunky dory, and that this merger is positive, I think you may be more wise to be skeptical. The statements I heard from the meeting in England coming from the MUA personell were straight **. The man she is doing business with was booted from SC, and nearly every student that has dealt with him in the past wishes they never did so. If you can find something positive, share it. However, the circumstances being what they are, we have a very low end carib school merging with some very questionable individuals. Who will suffer? The same people that always do, the students.
Transfer away from these people, you will not regret it.
