jan'04 term

[jm]

I heard that Ross has a summer session, in May. So, students that enter in Jan'04, if they continue class in the summer session, than do they catch up to students that originally started their term in september'03, who would normally take the summer's off?
Please correct me if i am wrong here!
thnks in advance

No such thing as having a summer off. Forget the vacations while one is in paradise.

Ross is an accelerated program so as singer said, no such thing. I have heard it is possible to catch up to the Sept 03 class but that would mean taking less time to study for the USMLE Step 1, having clinicals lined up close to perfect, not failing any classes, etc.

So, at Ross, there are no summers off as in SGU?
I am a bit confused with the number of terms for basic, followed by clinicals, so someone please explain this a bit to me.

The Basic Science campus in Dominica operates three semesters per calendar year. A student entering first semester in January '04, would start second semester in May '04 and third semester in September '04. Assuming a good GPA, they would take fourth semester January-April '05 and start the 5th semester in Miami in May of 2005. (The first four semesters constitute the Basic Sciences. All courses after that are in the Clinical Sciences Curriculum)

There are brief breaks between semesters, the longest during the holiday season in December. Otherwise, students are in class through out the year.
