Yeah, either the PR or my room.

Yes, but there's a big difference between using VMD as an informative resource and using it as a sounding board to air grievances in the public eye. They were never a fan of the latter.

Nothing says "obey me" like a bloody head on a fence post.

I wonder if less people are considering going to AUC(or any Caribbean school) these days...especially considering how it's getting harder and harder to go through this path

That can slightly explain why it's dead...or that there isn't anything to whine about :P

Funny you mention it. DeVry reported quarterly earnings a couple of hours ago. This was in the press release:

"DeVry Medical International -- In the January 2012 term, new students decreased 20.5 percent to 601, compared to a very strong 756 students last year. Total students increased 1.0 percent to 6,024 compared to 5,965 students in the same term last year. The decline in new student enrollment is largely a result of capacity constraints at Ross University School of Medicine. Ross expects new student enrollment to increase in the May term reflecting the continued strong demand for medical education."


Also of interest,
"Becker Professional Education acquired Falcon Physician Reviews to enter the growing healthcare exam preparation market"

Becker is a division of DeVry, thus DeVry now owns Ross, AUC and Falcon. These guys don't mess around...I would imagine Falcon will be the "preferred prep provider of AUC" in the future.


EDIT: If anyone's feeling exceptionally bored this evening, here's the press release: http://www.businesswire.com/news/hom...r-2012-Results

2 more months to PGY III, damn, they will actually expect me to know something then
