You should POSTPONE/CANCEL ALL upcoming semesters UNTIL you GET the proper accreditation, IF NOT you are just taking money from people FRAUDULENTLY.

No Students No School!

Finishingfifth writes

This school upsets me for a simple reason, it is designed to rip off the children of immigrants from india/pakistan. As an indian I know many parents who force their kids into medical school even though they have no business going in the first place. It little sanjay has 2.3 and a 15 on the MCAT he needs to reconsider his career plans. CMU feeds on the intense desire these parents have of sending their kids to any med school. CMU preys on this for financial gain without providing proof of any educational credibility. But these fly by night operations take credibility away from those who go the the "big 4", schools filled with people who atleast have a shot at residency and licensure.

There is a lot of truth in what is written by Finishing fifth here. CMU is in this way following in the footsteps of its parent school, and is very much like many of the schools in the islands own by members of this ethnic group. This phenomenon is something that I have noticed myself at several of these schools.

It boggles the mind how they can treat their own like this.

The solution to the matter is simple.

ALL PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS SHOULD AVOID / BOYCOTT CMU UNTIL IT CAN PROVE THAT IT HAS GOT ITS ACT TOGETHER.

ALL PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS SHOULD AVOID / BOYCOTT CMU UNTIL IT CAN PROVE THAT IT HAS A CHARTER AND IS LISTED WITH IMED FAIMER ECFMG ETC

PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS SHOULD FORGET CMU FOR SEPTEMBER. EITHER WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE SORTED OUT OR ATTEND ONE OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS.



IT IS TIME THAT PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS START TAKING HEED TO THE SENIOR MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM.

AS SOON AS A SCHOOL STARTS THAT EXHIBITS NO THOUGHT OR CARE ABOUT THE FUNDS OR FUTURE OF THIER STUDENTS, MEMBERS MUST CONTINUE TO STEADFASTLY GIVE WARNINGS UNTIL THE SCHOOL IS EITHER CLOSED OR AMEND ITS WAYS!


NO STUDENTS NO SCHOOL!

I don't even understand how anyone can concieve the idea that they can just open up a MEDICAL SCHOOL for that matter, not even a simple trade school, and assume that they can "wing it" and register students, collect money, WITHOUT first getting their documents in order KNOWING FULLY WELL that the documentation CANNOT be issued RETROACTIVELY.

And somehow believe that they will cross that bridge when they get there, and all the while hoping the documentation will not matter or that other students will not notice.

What type of person does this anyway, is there some sort of underlying condition that will make someone behave like this.....I just can't imagine it.

Especially someone who has been in this business for the last 6, 7 years.

Exactly, and obviously should know better.

Instead he is running around planning open houses and orientations like all is gravy.

ITS CALLED THE SIN OF GREED.

It is most certainly true that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked!

Well that’s it right there!. The man has years of practice. He has learned the art of deception, graft and greed well from Ha Ha.
One now wonders if RL was not HA HA's teacher.LOL

Let's see what type of documentation he will provide... let's give him, say.... 1 week? That should be more than adequate. He is a busy school official trying to organize orientation.
Really? No offense, but there really should be no "grace period" in being able to provide this documentation. The charter should have been signed before the school took the first student's tuition. Claiming IMED/ECFMG/WHO listing and USMLE eligibility on their website when there is in fact none is fraud and should not be given any leniency.

Emto36 is of course absolutely correct. Starting a school without a charter, and without IMED/ECFMG/WHO listing and USMLE eligibility is more than criminal, and deserves only that the school should be boycotted by the students. Experience has shown that schools that start like this do not last very long.

Students get hurt. Parents get hurt. Staff and their families get hurt. Everyone gets hurt.

This time last year I was in the Cook Islands teaching four of the sharpest medical students I have met. The school did not last a year. It was plagued by the same lack of charter and lack of IMED/ECFMG/WHO listing and USMLE eligibility as CMU. Its associated daughter school IMSA also closed in lest than a year.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS YOU ARE AGAIN WARNED!
STAY AWAY FROM ALL SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT DO DUE DILIGENCE IN PROVIDING THESE ESSENTIALS BEFORE THEY SOLLICIT YOUR FUNDS!

IF THEY CAN NOT OR WILL NOT START CORRECTLY WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT THEY WILL FOLLOW UP AS THEY OUGHT LATER?

Nah, I'm not providing a grace period, rather I'm giving him enough rope to hang himself.
I just feel that making immediate demands only forces more silence and by posting warnings while making a note every so often about there is no IMED/ECFMG/WHO listing, will make the point clearly.

I agree that this school needs to accept responsibility for it's actions or lack thereof, but you can't force a quickly becomming dubious businessman into something he doesn't want to do.

Perhaps a thread of how many days have passed with no certification would be good too.
