Continuous failure of the course(s). Some will admit they failed the class, others will blame the class failed them. Either way it results in the same consequences.

Lets Keep Things Civil

Alright guys, I understand there are always multiple sides to any issue that is going on with the school. Both of you guys have valid points, and one must applaud both IAUmed and PSU07 (for your honesty and loyalty - respectively) - I know thats its difficult to deal with the issues that are presented when going to IAU.

Look, the administration has said that things will be done - and whether or not they get accomplished or not, you have to look out for your best interests. The school is new (well, relatively anyway) and we do have students that are going through the process of Step1, Step2 etc... when we have a student that obtains a residency - we will be certain to let people know (as long as the students want that information published). Don't deride us because some of our students (however few they may be at times) don't wish for their Step 1/2 scores posted on ValueMD. Its entirely up to them.

As for the issues on the island - no school is perfect, I was down there for 4 semesters and there are certainly things that I wish could have been different - but there were changes made. Did I get a good education, well, I'd like to think so - only time will tell I guess. You have to be willing to deal with issues if you go to IAU, its NOT going to be perfect (as everyone can surely see here).

Guys, arguing over whether things should be posted on here or not, whether someone is being overly negative, personal attacks, etc. is not going to solve anything. If someone wants to post negative/positive things - let them do so. If you feel as though they are wrong, certainly feel free to reply (in a constructive manner - nothings stupid).

In all - I hear positive and negative things about this school all the time - and I try to keep a positive and open mind when listening to all things. I know others are fairly negative b/c of previous experiences with the school - but for me they have been fairly forthright, and for that I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to things that they tell me. If you feel other wise - feel free to disagree with me.
