Above mentioned news is published in ASUM website. In the past i read few negative posting about this school. Can anyone explain how could this school produce excellent students in two & half years of existence if they don't have a good program /
just a question, if the school has only existed for 2.5 years, then how can someone go through it and already take the Step 2 exam? the only way this is possible if they transferred into the program, most likely into clinicals. thus, what did All Saints do, other than provide clinical sites?

Chances are they were transfers.Many new schools do that, not uncommon.

yeah but i was just commenting that these students did not receive the bulk of their education at All Saints. Thus, I wouldn't attribute some student scoring really well on the Step 2 that All Saints is a good school.

To do that it will be ridiculous on their part.

Then, how do you measure a school is good. All foreign medical schools
prepare students for USMLE?

Why should you go to big school & pay $ 65000/- for 20 months of clinical
when you can get the same training in SJSM or ASUM for half price.

You know that after graduating from schools like All Saints you can get residency in all most all states except Cali and those states that follow that list.

Texas is a case by case thing

NY/FL - only need license for clinical's not residency

so for a few states you are willing to pay 2x-3x the money????
