so we have 30+ med schools that had no problems with their charters. then you have 3 that did..... cmu, st chris, and xavier. xavier eventually got a charter (dont know what happened to the students in the school during the fiasco).
RL, cmu is not in the greatest company.

I’m not saying the CMU is the greatest company. I strongly advise all students to try to get into U.S. med school first, than SGU, AUC, Ross or Saba, than others. However some students have financial limitations, some don’t have required GPA, and some haven’t taken MCAT, etc.
The problem with the charter has come up because St. Martinus claimed to have exclusive right to operate a medical school on the island. That has been clarified already. Please contact the Ministry of Education and they will tell you we would get a charter.
Xavier operated without a charter for more than one year. You can’t compare CMU to St. Chris since the operated in U.K. with a charter issued by Senegal Government.
You should understand that the charter is not given forever. Every recently established school can lose it if they don’t comply with the Government regulations.
