i am awaiting for someone to say with all seriousness that ergo cmu is just like harvard.

btw- I want credit for coining the "SGU of new england" phrase. I have it on a coffee mug.

[quote=finishingfifth;659316]Big deal. Harvard started with 400 books and a room centuries ago, that doesnt mean that any place with 400 books is now on par with or will become Harvard. I mean look at Harvard now, it is commonly reffered to as the SGU of new england. quote]

Yes, I should have put a footnote in there. It is your phrase. See RL, when you copy from someone else, you have to give them credit. So come on, lets see
* from SGU and univ of Utah website
on you website.

RL,

lets try this again. im not asking whether you feel it matters or not. i am not asking you that. so lets try again.

Can you please name a med school still open that opened without a charter or used another non-medical school's charter to operate that is still open today?

please, no commentary. you can do that in another post. just name a school. i dont care about your thoughts on the question.

if you cant name a school, then say so. you make yourself look really bad when you act like a politician and spin/deflect the question. just answer the question flat out. its not hard to do.

CMU is just like Harvard. In that it has desks, walls, and chairs.

now, in reference to RL's quote about SGU's beginning. a medical school located in a hotel with a charter is eligible to be listed in IMED and their students can take the USMLE. Those students can eventually become physicians in the US.

a school in a 100 million dollar palace without a charter is not eligible for IMED listing. their students cannot take the USMLE and cannot become physicians in the US.

so, if i was a prospective student and wanted to become a doctor in the US. which school would i pick? obviously the school that can actually allow me to achieve my goal. CMU is the outlier in the spectrum of caribbean schools from the top to the bottom. heck, even iuhs even has a charter.
