It’s obvious that you are very new to the Caribbean med schools, that why you feel so bad. Based on my 6 year experience in the field, I can tell you honestly that if you didn’t pick one of the big 4, as your med school, you will soon find out what the word "fraud" means. We have transfer student from other schools, which experienced it.
  • charging for transferring out /$4000/
  • problems getting transcripts,
  • grade reports and other documents,
  • throwing cadaver remains to a garbage can,
  • holding loan disbursements,
  • not issuing tuition refund,
  • charges for dorms students never lived in,
  • treating students like slaves,
  • unqualified teachers,
  • Deans whose license was revoked,
  • sex harassment,
  • teachers & students being illegal on the island,
  • lack of basic teaching materials /sometimes even cleaning supplies or toilet paper/,
  • library with 0 medical books, etc.
You can find it all on ValueMD.
I have to admit that out of 30 schools in the Caribbean there are few decent once, but only few. Hoverer their tuition is more than or about $10,000 per semester. I hope you got accepted to one of them. If not you should do your research.
CMU is not perfect but we all are trying hard from the beginning to make it better. You can get in touch with our current students and get their opinion. No one has experienced those problems here. Some left and are coming back now since they saw the difference. You should base your opinion not on ValueMD where we are constantly under attacks of other school's cheerleaders or agents. This is how hard it is to get through the first semester. When I started at St. James at its beginning we had much more problems and black PR as we have now at CMU. The school is doing fine now, so are the students.
See? Now, just to be fair, I have to say that was well-written, coolly done, and very professional. I hope to see more like that in your future posts.

Well, to be fair, it did lack the laughably untrue personal attacks of earlier in the evening, but I still fail to see how a medical school can be "doing fine" operating without a charter or any other document issued by the government which allows it to grant an MD degree. Boggles the mind.

Why am I doing this you ask?
I have read a lot of things from many parties but I'm not sure if many people who went through my process actually bother to share it. I had to.
Of course this may not change the way RL spews his jargon here, and he would probably dismiss it as another student who has it out for CMU, but when things like this happens, a personal account helps to bring it home for some people, those who have eyes to see let them see.
RL has a lot to hide, the was he spins and avoids issues ahows it everytime.
When you go to their site, without knowing that even the site was "borrowed", it's difficult really to understand the level of deception that lies beyond the website.
When I think of the fact that I could have naively been a victim of the deception, I really feel grateful that I was spared the pain of the loss that would have resulted from going to CMU, loss of time, money, effort, irrecoverable loss basically, one that I could not have afforded.

CMU is a fraud, plain and simple, they have no chance of success, nto with a shaky foundation of lies, like builing your house without any foundation. They would rather will things into existence that actually take steps to make it happen. They are far from being thorough, rather a well rehearsed one man show, no doubt thanks to his many years at a previous school.
Another note, I went back, all the wau back to RL's first post, back when he was still working for another school, it was ill to read much the same jargon target in favor of another school just as he is convinced about CMU. Really ow do you think that by changing your "school uniform" from SJSM or whatever to CMU supposed to make a differnce if the underlying problem exist, it's like changing clothes without a shower, the funk is still there.
Ok I think the effects of the experience is getting the best of me. But you get the picture.

RL, shape up while you can, if you can, if not change professions, because this is not working too well for you.

Give it up!

If you have a conscience or want to speak to anything, speak to your deception, anything short of that is more jargon, and more hot air.
I have heard it all before!

I considered it, but in the end I would rather spend the time and effort doing other things of more importance.

Then I guess it must have been someone else that started a thread with obviously untrue personal attacks against another VMD member. Better get a stronger password, as apparently someone has broken into your account.
