Don't ever make the mistake of enrolling in this school.... this is a flop show.....transfer students are made to repeat semesters with false promises....rules and tution fees vary siginificantly for outsiders and relatives of the owners and administration....the outsider students always suffer..... internal issues and fights are publicly displayed to students..... New York paid a visit... no information is yet received regarding its accreditation..... I doubt if the school will ever receive it....doesn't deserve it...

You are about to invest your money as well as valuable time... so my honest advice is - "Go and visit the school prior to joining there. You will discover the truth yourself."!!!!!!!

If were such a flop show of a school why did NY just come for accreditation. Obviously the school is doing lots of things right and with regards to rules and tuition the only changes have to do with your ACADEMIC scholarships which by the fact that you dropped out of IAU I'm assuming you could never attain one of them. Of course NY hasn't given us a word yet because it take about 3 months for all the paper work and visits to go through. Did you not know that they are visiting the Dallas office beginning of July and have also already just visited the hospital in Utica NY???? I'm guessing you had no idea about that.

Maybe if you spent a little more time studying and a little less time dropping out of school you'd actually be able to do something with your life. I'd get your facts straight before writing rubbish on the walls.

You know, its incredible that YOU are the only student who consistently comes on to ValueMD and complains about how the school is such garbage and how things aren't what they seem, etc etc. NO ONE ELSE comes on here to say the things that you do, doesn't that seem slightly suspicious to you?
No one gets favoritism here, in the time that I've spent here, I have NEVER seen grades or anything else changed for "favoritism". People aren't given different amounts for tuition unless (like the previous poster said) its for ACADEMIC scholarships. Its TOTAL nonsense and its amazing to think that you have been out of this school for such a long time, yet you continue to come back here and bad mouth this school with no FACTS.
New York State came, and for all intents, the visit went extremely well - so I have no idea what you're talking about - in fact, you ask prospective students to come visit the school - and I encourage it as well. You'll see the quality of the students and the teachers, and you can judge for yourself what kind of school we are.
With the time that you spend here, coming up with crap to fill up the ValueMD message boards for IAU, you can put it towards whatever you're planning on doing with your life. Go be productive.

Yes, some transfer students who did not perform well at other schools were accepted before and some of them did not perform well here either. Big surprise? Some went on and passed step 1. So what's your argument on promises? No one can promise everyone will pass.

There were scholarships offered based on academics or need, naturally some people who knew how hard administration works, worked hard themselves and made the grades, got their scholarships. I'm sorry if you could not get along with people AND not pass your classes.

yes, the teachers do fight over when to have after-hours tutoring. again, i'm sorry you had to see teachers fight for us. how can you talk down on the people who used to help tutor until 4 am?


The New York Accreditation will give a report on our deficiencies (which all schools have) and we will try to fix them. Accreditation teams help make schools better.

Yes, please come visit the school. Contact the New Student Committee through IAU Student Government Association and we will take care of you.

Well well what can we expect from someone like ex-iaustudent?? I am sorry to hear that your third attempt for med school failed, as St Chris closed. It is apparent you have a lot of time on your hands therefore trying to put down the best one you went to. As far as all your claims against the school are concerned, they are all false. I will try to address all the false claims you have one by one:

1. Each student is treated equally whether he is family or not. We all have criteria to follow, for example, if you pass all your NBME exams at the end of each 8 month block and apply for a scholarship- you would be given one if you deserve one based on academics.

2. As far as I remember when you were here, all internal issues and fights with you were publicly displayed because YOU brought them to school and wanted to publicize all your personal issues to everyone. So no one will advertise your business unless you do it YOURSELF.... LIKE YOU DID.

3. Pertaining to NY accreditation, I believe the board that came here was very pleased with the way things were being handled and the way our school is progressing WITHOUT trouble makers and people who do not take school seriously. And please do remember that things in life take time, just because they came here the other day do not expect to hear a response until they are complete with their evaluation. I do not know if you do not remember, but our school does not just comprise of the Basic Science part in St Lucia but also the clincals in Chicago and our main office in Dallas. If you have forgotten please refer to our website again. I believe they will be paying a visit to the Dallas office very soon so we will keep you posted.

Maybe you should put this energy into some other use. Stop wasting your time ridiculing this school; instead spend more time in finding admission into a FOURTH medical school.

Would someone please note that all the comments here are made by administrators, who pretend to be students as well. The same administrator poses as a pre-Med student at the site asking questions; later poses as a clinical student; and when he feels like poses as an administrator. Best example is "BrownSuga". If you don't believe me, check out all of his cross-links.

First of all - there has been NO administrator that has posted on this thread yet about anything that is going on here. Where you come up with this ridiculous idea is just beyond me. Perhaps this is why you never could cut it here, your logic just never seemed to pan out.
We are ALL different students, and this topic of yours has been hashed through before, and yet again, we're back on the SAME topic. If you're going to make up stuff, can't you AT LEAST come up with new material? I'd have to say your previous posts were pretty original (falsifications none the less).
DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE! I can't stress this point on you further, this site is about understanding the school and seeing if its the right place for you. If you REALLY hate IAU, why don't you found the "I HATE IAU" fan club and see how many people join? This whole "I hate IAU and I have nothing better to do but to hate on it" is getting pretty damn old...

Looking forward to your next useless response...
