i don't know why you lot are amazed why people still consider them, they are people with all due respect desperate to earn an MD after their name...i mean,they had one dude who was 65 doing that programme how on earth will find time,mental strength to read all that material. i'm not being judmental about the age criteria but its people such as these they are milking for america and the rest of the world...shocking!!

I agree with you that IUHS has a lot to answer for based on its past record.
I think you are being very judgemental about age and the ability to study - or perhaps just over-generalizing and displaying some of the prejudices of youth. There have been more reputable institutions than IUHS which have given space to even older medical students - I know of two individuals myself. Although short-term memory has a tendency to deteriorate with age it does vary from person to person. Moreover, a diminished s.t.m. is not the same as a non-existent one! Older students also often display much better learning and memorizing techniques as well as being free from motivational distractions such as sex, drugs and rock and roll.
As for the time factor, I really am not sure what you mean.
Finally remember that an M.D. is not a licence to practise.

diogenes, read this well, i stated previously that i wasn't judging nobody, all i said was how would expect someone to do that kind of programme the way its constructs by this school....at that age.you talk about drugs,alcohol,rock and roll these parameters too, vary from individual to individual i know many who are not oddly motivated by these distractions you mentioned, at least i'm not.

I have nothing against IUHS, hey its their business...those that choose them is their money,choice and risky.

so you mean you were judging

puclisnki you can take how ever you got it...

I am a potential new student to IUHS' e-medical school. My question is how can I finance it without having in house student loans? I find it near impossible to pay half of it back during your third and fourth years. In addition to that, how do you pay for the books, if the loans are only enough to pay for tuition? I have exhausted all of my options attempting to find a way to pay for school. Please help.

Thank you,

Kevin

are you seriously considering this school? this is a BAD choice

I think you should start looking into programs with better financial aid options because IUHS is extremely limited in this area (not to mention extreme licensing restrictions once you finish your education, you will be limited to a handful of states to practice mediciene as an IUHS grad) Have you checked Spartan, Ross? I am positive Ross will take you.

I think most of these threads are all related closely i.e. mods please combine all these IUHS bashing threads into one. Here is the link to the other thread that is, again, the same as this thread i.e. IUHS bashing:
