Ross Acceptance: Cold hard facts.

COLD HARD FACTS:

You probably already decided on going to Ross and it is going to take some really hard facts to change your mind. You got that acceptance letter. You want to say goodbye to the MCAT route, and you believe Ross is the right foreign medical school.

Before you go think of these facts. Through the semesters lecture material is gathered by students. Real MP3 files recorded in class. All you simply need to do is ask for a sample and give them your email address. Open a Hotmail account for 250 megabyte storage, or a Gmail account for 1 gigabyte storage. A one hour lecture can be as low as 5 megabytes (as opposed to a one hour video which is as low as 60 megabytes). Be sure to get a sample of the lecture and a sample of the question(s) as it appeared on the exam. Ask for a handout from ross. See how they compare to other United States medical school handouts.

You be the judge. Can you understand the lecture? Can you understand the material? Is it straight forward? Are the questions straight forward? Going to ross is a big monetary decision. Choose wisely.

I suggest some tracks:

***** EKG 4th semester (ECG) lecture: A sampling of Ross ICM director
***** 1st semester cancer pathway lecture: Biochemistry Genetics Faculty
***** Immunology lectures: 3rd Semester Immunology
***** 2nd Semester lectures: Supervisor of the Exam center

Others will give their welcome opinions on other tracks but please Insist on these lectures. To the student's who have these lectures... posting of audio material is legal. CD's of lectures are already held in reserve in the Ross Library. Posting video material is debateable. Posting this information to Ross students is also legal. Students must explicitly affirm that they are enrolled in Ross University, or have received an Acceptance Letter from the New Jersey Office.

I wasn't quite sure how to respond to this, but your post is totally dishonest. At least tell people to get an honest representation of the lectures at Ross instead of picking lectures that only have a couple of hours of lecture TOTAL. ***** probably has the most lecture hours out of the group, and even he didn't have tons when I was there. Of course you are going to have a couple of lectures that are hard to follow and further more having people listen to lectures that are totally beyond them is really not a good measure of what a school is like. Stop being sensationalistic, it is boring.

It's funny how you pick almost all the least favorite lecturers of each semester. Well, thats the way it was for me at least. Does anyone else think (not allowed to say names) that the first semester genetics faculty instructor sounds like kermit the frog?

Other Option

Surprising how he didn't request lectures from other faculty. Let's say some of the anatomy lectures (insert asian prof. name here) LOL. or how about some Histo lectures that are about as high yield as you can get (a certain with the last name of K comes to mind). If you are going to "help" prospective students make a decision then how about you not only show them your so called bad side, but also all of the good that comes with Ross.

Just my 2 cents

Re: Ross Acceptance: Cold hard facts.

These sample lectures are not fair. They are few of the lectures that were hard to understand because of both accent and course content and/or complexity.
