I couldn’t do it earlier I was banned by the one of the moderators. He gave me an infraction for "I'm surprised by your readying skills" and at the same time tolerated "scam, liar, fraud, fake, diploma mill, criminally taken money from students" which was simply not fair.

The transfer account details are not confidential since most U.S. schools have a special account for wire transfers. No one is protected from this kind of scam. If you issue a check to someone, the person would have all your account information since it’s printed on each check. The problem was that some people made the transfer to those scammers without first making sure that the check gets cleared. On top of that they tried to cash a check that they never expected. None of those who received those fraudulent checks were connected to CMU, majority didn’t even know about the school, yet they tried to accept a payment that they were not entitled to and what is even worse they transferred portion of the amount to those scammers.

When I talked to the police officers and our bank, we came to the conclusion that there is no way to stop this kind of activity since every day there are thousands of checks being issued and to order printable checks online, all you need is a routing and an account number.

not a very eloquent choice of words.

as far as the charter, everything in the caribbean moves "slow slow slow." very very true. HOWEVER, even with the "slow slow slow", no other medical school in the carib had a problem getting a charter like cmu is having. when it walks like a dog and barks like a dog.... guess what.... it is a dog. last school to have charter problems like this (ie couldnt produce a charter) was st chris. there were plenty of people on their forum that defended the school even while it was falling to the ground. now look at their forum, just a bunch of contact information for lawyers and class action lawsuits.

What about Xavier? They lost it and finally got it back. Now they are fine.
Another proof of incorrect information.

you are correct. i still would not have recommended anybody set foot in that school either at the time.

so we are left with many flyby night carib schools with questionable motives/reputations (ie st theresas) that had ZERO problems getting a charter before the opened. then you have 2 schools that had charter issues. one had disasterous consequences for their students (st chris) and anothers consequences are still up in the air (xavier....... dont know the complete story.....may or may not be similar cmu situation.... dont know future repercussions on their students yet..... but ultimetely got a charter).

so we have 30+ med schools that had no problems with their charters. then you have 3 that did..... cmu, st chris, and xavier. xavier eventually got a charter (dont know what happened to the students in the school during the fiasco).

RL, cmu is not in the greatest company.

You are indeed a newbie. You write
In addition, if you contact St. Georges University you will find that the Executive Dean DID in fact graduate from their institution in 2003.

I understand by your note that the Executive Dean of CMU GRADUATED FROM SGU IN 2003—I.E 4 YEARS AGO?

No serious medical school in the world has an Executive Dean who has only been a doctor for four years? HE HAS NOT PRACTICED MEDICINE LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO GUIDE A MEDICAL SCHOOL. HE HAS NOT TAUGHT MEDICINE LONG ENOUGH TO GUIDE A MEDICAL SCHOOL.

Schoir. You are indeed a newbie.

BY YOUR POST YOU INDICATE THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MEDICAL SCHOOLS!

I’m not saying the CMU is the greatest company. I strongly advise all students to try to get into U.S. med school first, than SGU, AUC, Ross or Saba, than others. However some students have financial limitations, some don’t have required GPA, and some haven’t taken MCAT, etc.

The problem with the charter has come up because St. Martinus claimed to have exclusive right to operate a medical school on the island. That has been clarified already. Please contact the Ministry of Education and they will tell you we would get a charter.

Xavier operated without a charter for more than one year. You can’t compare CMU to St. Chris since the operated in U.K. with a charter issued by Senegal Government.
You should understand that the charter is not given forever. Every recently established school can lose it if they don’t comply with the Government regulations.

RL- as I stated before, let all these people with their "Jerry Springer" opinions show you facts. They are simply bashing with no merit. RL- are you able to post the charter application? Or an email from one of the officals in Curacao stating that the charter is in the process of being signed?

Your institution is just beginning. It is a new school. Just like any other, it must go through "rough" times. I am in the legal profession, so I know that "heresay" and "emotions" are to be kept out of any debate. The only things that ever prevail are truth, facts, law and proof.

You have invested your time, money, and energy into this. Everyone knows were your office is, how to reach you, and what your real name is. Scammers do not disclose such information. They merely take your money and run. You have probably invested more than you made thus far.

RL- focus on the students you have- make sure they don't lose morale. They read this garbage and they need to focus. They are the ones you need to encourage not anyone else.

SCOTT 1981 is quite correct. There are several offshore medical schools around that had no problem getting a charter. We all remember st chris . I was personally involved with the fiasco at SPSOM & IMSA which had to come to a halt without a charter or IMED listing. It has been awful experience for many involved.

Prospective students should not depend on whatever has happened at Xavier as an example of what might happen at CMU, since one does not yet know the future repercussions on their students. As SCOTT 1981 consequences for their students are still up in the air.

Prospective students should avoid CMU and any school that fails to do things correctly.

Schoir. You are indeed a newbie.

You are correct. I do not know much about medical schools- can you explain? I am in the legal profession and am trying to gather facts. No attacks please. Thanks!

Good advice: Please read some previous posts of those who badmouth CMU. Lswiltshire did in fact badmouth other schools in the past so she is not a good source of genuine information about med schools. Just read previous posts.
