i love you! will you marry me?

ganja, that was great!!!!! i love it! as for nasir, if i want to be exposed, as you say, i will drop my pants. though you seem to want the honor, i would prefer not to allow strangers this venerable honor. and as for your garbage about clinical sites? at this time ross has more sites then students to fill them. this is the reason why they dropped all england sites. i had friends in my class who wanted to go to england and were told no, they needed to fill the US sites. as for attrition, everyone dwells on this, like its the fault of Ross university. if you fail, it is nobodys fault but your own!!! either you were not blessed with the ability to grasp the material, or you spent all your time whining like nasir probably did before they booted his ***.

Dude,

If you are going to flame somebody for something as petty as writing skills, shouldn't your writing skills be without error? In the quote above, you left out a necessary comma, you forgot to use parallel structure in a list, you split an infinitive, and you ended a sentence with a preposition.

Plus, killing the messenger doesn't kill the message. Be nice to people.

Still find it weird that SGU accepts as many people as Ross, but not nearly as many complainers or whiners like Ross has.

Dear All,
I am a parent and did a lot of research. I have done extensive
investigation about medical schools spending lot of time.
I do agree with Naser. He had some valid points.
No medical school on the planet accepts about 800 to 900 students with out having enough clinical spots.
What happened when all the students in a particular class ready to take
rotations at the same time. Do they have enough spots available ?
If not then why admit more students ? This is definately cheating the students and the parents.
I will definately bring this information to US Department of Education.

First off, I dont understand the purpose of your post. You begin by asking questions that raise valid concern without answers (such as "Do they have enough spots available ? "). Then you jump to "I will definately bring this information to US Department of Education" just based on theory or concern?

If you have facts please present them. For example, an earlier post FROM A GRADUATED STUDENT stated that his class had wiped out the clinical spots in England because there weren't enough students to fill all the clinical spots in the U.S.

Reading posts from other schools, Ross students are lucky in that they don't have to setup their own clinical rotations. If you ever ran into a problem in this area, you could always do the legwork to become a doctor anyway. But from all the FACTS I have seen so far, it doesnt seem to be a problem.

I don't mean to stir the pot, but I can provide some amount of proof that there is less clinical spots than students who require them. I met many Ross students at this years national AMSA convention and virtually all of them confirmed that they are usually forced to wait several months in between rotations because there is nothing available in the US. I am sure they could have gone to england to do a rotation during that time, but that is A LOT of moving. I am not bashing Ross, I think their education is fine. However, I am sure it is a bit frustrating to have to sit around waiting when you could just keep going and finish quickly.

people usually wait because they have location preferences. if someone for instance wants to stay in NY, then they rather wait a little bit then say go to Ohio. Ross provides you with clinical spots. Lots of schools do not. where's the problem?

Fear,

I understand that location matters to some people, but this was NOT the case with the students I spoke to.

Actually, most schools DO provide clinical spots, there are only a rare few that do not. Even so, just because a school has clinical spots doesn't mean that everything is perfect. There are many more factors that need to be evaluated in a clinical program than just presence of affiliate hospitals. Among one of the more obvious issues is availability, which some people find very important.

Someone posted their 3rd-year schedule a month ago. All their clinicals were in NYC and they a total of 5 weeks between rotations all of third-year. Personally I haven't heard of anyone having to wait months between rotations.
