Another question that I have is: what happens if say you graduate from a school and it closes down like a month after you have graduated and before you have found a residency? Is your diploma still valid. Are you still eligible to apply to residencies and take step 3. Can you get licensed?

Another scenario: if say I go there and the school closes down when I am in the middle of my 4th yaar. What happens then. Can I transfer the credits?

Also, if you don't mind revealing this info, what school are you in?

You seem like someone who knows what's going on, I thank you ahead of time for your reply.
a good number of schools will require that you have a certain minimum time at their school. this usually is at least 2 semesters. if you're in your 4th year, you're probably going to "loose" some rotations in the transfer. do it right the first time. the next thing you don't need is to transfer this time, and then need to do it a 3rd time because things didn't work out the 2nd time. 3 different schools transfers is going to be messy for licensing boards, they ain't gunna like it.
