4. Non-disclosure of NBME "shelf" grades

5. Less clinicals (Mainly chicago)

6. No state approvals (claims of "working on it" are few years old now)

7. No real teachers (staff has been changing every semester)

8. No one placed into residency yet

9. No housing for clinical students

10. Moderately high tuition for mediocre service

... then what does I.A.U. offer?
I believe the points stated by iaustudent006 are well said.

Besides, grades for NBME were given to me in the 3 digit and 2 digit format. And housing is always obtained off the hospital grounds, I never heard of a dorm for clinical students.

IAU provides you a ticket to the USMLE. It may not be a first class ticket, but hey you are not exactly using a site that caters towards first class students.
