I demeaned your school? I don't even know what school you went to.. Please, tell me where I said anything about your school....

I said one thing negative about HMI, which is true, and I will stand by it. They lied pointblank to me about a placement fee; however, when the acceptance letter came I saw a nice little additional fee of $7000.

Grow up. I'm not going to get a list of 4th years and where they matched. You're wasting my time, and quite honestly do not concern me.

What does this inflammatory quote imply? "you are still new to this game..i am a seasoned veteran.."

What are you a seasoned veteran at? Bashing schools and trolling. I have no reason to promote my school. I gain nothing from it.

I feel that this debate has introduced a few interesting questions and concerns to individuals wishing to attend a foreign school, and now readers might be skeptical enough to write the schools themselves to get certain points. However, it is silly at this point to quarral over such points, because if someone IS in fact lying (or just misinformed), I see no resolution on this post. We are all in the spectrum of moderately to highly intelligent here and highly to even more highly egotistical...meaning we do not like to be argued with by faceless names. It reaches a certain testosterone high that makes any valid points which are made meaningless. Most likely though, I will call/write Poznan, Warsaw and Krakow tomorrow to verify the affiliations.

I would suggest you contact the affiliated universities and/or teaching hospitals, as well, just as a precaution.

Also, from the school website, here are a list of affiliated universities:

Again, best to call them for verification.

Now, I am confused.

Which school(s) did you attend?

Debrecen
Warsaw
Katowice

Or all three?

Miklos

Miklos brought out a good point. You know I'm still confused as to where you really went to school. Is this where you are a seasoned veteran?

My question is:

If you did go to all these three schools, how are you dealing with the nightmare of licensure?

You've triplicated your paperwork for licensure and unless both Warsaw AND Katowice (Silesia) get approved by California, you'll never be able to be licensed there.

In addition, the US clinical experience that you seem to have gotten may not make that much of a difference (depending on your USMLE scores), as you are going into neurology which is pretty wide open for IMGs at 38% representation.

How do you justify your decision to transfer not once, but twice considering all this?
