whats the word on the street?

[Raider4Life]

hey whats up guys, im once again calling out to the medical masterminds out there for some advice...
I saw a commercial for Hope Medical Institute the other day, and I went on there website and saw the hospitals in Poland, but im calling out for some info from my fellow valuemders on what the word on the street is on their program. Whatever info you can share whether it be about the schools, clinical rotations, tuition, or whatever, or if you have some stories to tell about the them, please give it up! "Hope" to hear from yall soon.
And remember don't study hard, study smart!

Hey Raider-

Been spending a lot of time looking for info on Polish Med Schools - think that's where I'd like to end up. Seems like Hope - just like Poznan- are run by agents. Hope supposedly charges a large up-front fee as part of the admissions process. You'd better seriously check this one out- aslo seems that they appeal to only one cultural group. Don't know about you, Raider - but a more multicultural school is what I'm looking for. So the search goes on.....

Hope ARE agents. There is no such school in Poland. They place students at one of a few schools (Szczecin, Katowice, Lublin).

I think if you dig a little more you'll find that Poznan and Hope have quite different philosophies.

Poznan? Run by agents? I don't think so...

Poznan is not run by agents. Hope has nothing to do with Poznan. And stay away from agents!!

Yo' Gvanderv:

Looked up Poznan on line - really long website. there's this guy named ***** ***** and even a big picture of him, plus names and address of people from his family. Doesn't look like he's a prof at Poznan - If he's not an agent - they why the picutre and the info on him and his family? Who's this dude & what's his relationship to the school? Can u apply to the school without going through him and his family? Just when you seem to find a decent school--another agent to deal with.

its true that the majority of the students are indians, but there is a growing population of students from nigeria and taiwan. The taiwan group in Katowice is quite larger now...

Just like the website says, he is the director of USA admissions. He doesn't charge anymore than the University would charge you if you went directly to the university and applied.

Let me get this straight, Bckwood, this Director of USA Admissions at Poznan, along with his family members, doesn't get paid at all for their work - they're just doing it family - God & country??? Something's not right with this scene - you can call him whatever you want - but in my book, he's an agent - pure and simple. So why does everyone on this site say that Poznan has no agents??? Still scratching my head over this one.
