I'm just curious, does that mean you've heard bad things?

[OasisMan]

from the little i know/heard, it was about the admin


also, i applied there and they were very strange about the whole process. i had my phone interview for st james a week after i had my statia interview and the guy never called :shock:. they then called ~3 weeks later (after i had been accepted to statia) and tried to set up another interview. i told them i was accepted elsewhere but thankyou anyway. they said ok, but ended up calling a couple weeks later.

to me, the administration just seems laid-back, with an "i dont care" attitude.

but as i said earlier i dont know much about st james.

I got accepted to St. James and waiting for an interview to St. Eustasius. If i got accepted to St. Eustasius I'll definitely choose it over St. James. Which mean that I going to loose $1000 since they were pressure me for the deposit. Whichever school you choose good luck.

Hey Dr.0617

I just wanted to write to you and say hello.

I have been accepted already to St. James, and I have my interview with St. Eustatius on Tuesday. I am so hoping to get into that school over St. James. Any advice on what they asked you during your interview?

SJ is just concerned with getting their tuition money from the students. I know because I am a student at SJ...well, was. Will be leaving at the end of the month since they have yet to find any funding for the US students and could care less since they are still getting all the money they need from the Canadian students. Their pass rate for the USMLE is 17% so most of the people that suffer through living on Bonaire are not being prepared to take the Boards and have to rely on themselves (which is NOT a bad thing) but most of the students that come here pass because they have old exams or the teachers just copy and paste questions right from the BRS for that subject. It's a seat to take the boards, that's all SJ is, won't prepare you for it, won't support you through it, it's just a cash cow for Dr.G.
