also telling people that they will be licensed in 45 to 48 states is highly optimistic. there is california that is out, there are half a dozen states that use their list, another half dozen that use it unofficially. kansas is out because the school has to around for 15 years. texas will be very difficult because you have to prove that yoru school is equivalent to a texas lcms school meaning admission stadrads, facilities, professors, reasearch, etc. so realistically 30 or so states would be very doable, another 10 questionable and the rest unlikely.
good luck

I agree with this but I think telling people that they cannot be licensed due to the California list is wrong, SJSM grads have been licensed in states that are supposed to use this list. St. Matts is on the Cali unapproved list and yet they have lots of students and Licensed grads in many states too.
The way to really know is for more graduates to get Licensed and in the "Harder" states as well. This is what the Big 4 have done, in fact having California approval does not make "all 50" approval, there have been some denials of students from the Big 4 in a few states in the past. In fact I just talked to an old AUC grad here in Ga about this, he was denied in one state but Ga accepted him for Licensure so he is here ( yea years ago but this proves that times change and assuming that one state is like this and another is like that is just plain wrong.)
The states are Case by case basis and this is true for SJSM as well as the "Big 4" The differences are the Big 4 have approvals in a handful of states and have been around longer.
