The team of Dr R--s and Dr Th-------n at UMHS will no doubt repeat thier sucesses at Ross University, but it will take time to convert this potential situation to reality.
It is very unlikely that students would transfer to UMHS or any other school unless they were failing courses perpetually and perennially.

I don't agree with the above highlighted statement as Ross, AUC, and Saba are other fine schools that are recognized as well.
Nonetheless, I agree with the above posters that SGU is a far better choice than UMHS...it has a proven track record which is very important. Getting a REsidency spot is becoming more difficult each application cycle so it's best to go with a school that is known and has a good reputation among Program Directors. Ultimately, the goal of medical education is to gain a REsidency spot.
