It seems as if there is any endless amount of hype...of drama concerning some of the larger Caribbean schools, while Spartan avoids all of that and focuses on...learning an educating Docs? Is this fair to say, since I am basing this hypothesis off of an internet forum? Cheers

--------------------------------------------

How did you come to this conclusion? How does "hype" detract from education? Are you suggesting the larger schools are taking away resources from educating to put it into advertisement or some such?

nah, larger schools put their money into more useless things like infrastructure, having a campus that doesn't predate the parachute pant and delorean, hiring faculty that taught at US med schools, and other extravaganses like attaining and maintaining stafford loans, california approval and getting on the texas approved list.

joking aside spartan is not a gem but its not to be discouinted either. thery have very very few grads compared to the rest but many are highky successfu

The school got its loans cancelled, every time.
The school was threatened by the Prime Minister with closure, as its ill repute was costing the island.

Pls do not be in denial, its not a hidden gem, its a open sewer well.

Pls research the archives.Spartan graduates have always feared that the accredition may be withdrawn.

Most of the GOOD COMMENTS on this forum is by the school owners and desperate students, who have invested a lot into this mistake of a school.

Watch your back!!

If it weighs more than a duck, it's a witch.

Hmmm, I sound like a marketing agent for this school...

the good comments not always comes from school officials,I researched this school and I do have good comments about it,the so many individuals who are holding very prestigious positions at Columbia,Cornell, Vanderbilt and Baylor are not what you called "hardly disperate".
forums such as this is exciting to basic sciences nervous students and even few state reps but I can assure you that after basic sciences and during residencies and except for one and only one state :no one really cares if you went to St X or St Y school,what will differentiate you from any other international student is your exams and work history,if I decide on an applicant based on country or degree of origin then I am discriminating and unfit to be a leader,basic sciences origin discrimination in an applicant who excelled in everything is discrimination no matter how others tries to justify it!!!!

based on current conditions and rules, I do suggest choosing AUC,SGU,AND ROSS as first choice but this school has graduated hundreds of successful alumni regardless of what anyony tries to do to deny that fact......alumni who make it to top positions must have good medical foundation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
