"Since its founding in 1978, Ross University has awarded over 4,500 graduates with a Doctor of Medicine degree."

162 per year,on averge graduate.So whens you start with 400 people-make sure you is one of the 162

thats some faulty math...considering back in 78 they had 20 students..not 400...

The 4th Semester class that will be leaving Dominica this April started off with around ~140, and I belive there are ~90 left. However class sizes have increased substantially...

That sounds correct. My class(may) started with 160, and we had a head count of 100 (including those who joined 5th from other med schools) on the first day of class in Miami.

i dont think its indicative of much. the drop off from 1st semester to 2nd semester is probably the greatest, because that weeds out the people who really shouldnt be here or have decided they dont want to be...after that you shouldnt see much attrition...and at ross you typically dont.
