you seem to be trying to moderate what topics will be discussed in this forum trying to shield cmu from criticism. this forum will not be censored..... even by this roundabout way.

just shows you how one can manipulate numbers...

sure lecture may have 1 prof, but you are certainly not pointing out the number of small group interactions that the more established schools have with in a course.

For example, in biochem, there are at least 4 small group session where there is one prof per 8-10 students, Clinical Skills in the 1st and 2nd terms where you meet with 1 prof per 8-10 students (meets every other week), anatomy, where (at least in my day) you were 5 per cadaver and had interactions with a number of the anatomy profs, histology lab where your group of 4-5 had on prof for 2 hours at their lab table- that is just 1st term!!

Almost every basic science course worth more than 3 credits had some sort of small group where the student:teacher ratio is <10:1.

the pro that you do NOT point out of having a large and diverse student body is the HELP that you find with having soo many people. In my study group my 1st term, I had a biochem major from Dartmouth- so if i had a any problems with biochem, i had a great resource right next to me, another one was a PA before coming to med school-he had good insight into the clincal aspects that where brought up before I had a chance to experience it myself. There were also JDs, Ph.D, Pharm.Ds, Masters in almost everyfield- all GREAT resources for information.

My professors knew my name when i was their student and remembered me enough to write good letters of recommendations 2 years later. Just becuase there are a lot of students in your class doesn't mean you can't get the proper attention

What if CMU turns out to be the best school in the world....will the ratio remain 1:200?

if youre going to Remedial School of Medicine, a very low student to teacher ratio is probably a good thing. But for most of us, med school isnt expected to need student: teacher ratios that would be the envy of private kindergartens
