There are TWO kind of students at SC

After being at this fourm for more than a month, I made an amazing discover. There are only TWO type of students present in SC

1. Those who say SC is a decent place, will give you a decent shot of becoming a doctor. They point out SC strengths more than their "muddy areas"

Now you must be asking why this group is trying to RECRUIT for SC when they are not even being paid by the school? As many have pointed out, is because many potential students hang out on this fourm, and when they hear all the good news about SC, they enroll into SC, and hence allows school to remain open. So Grop 1 mentions "Good points" just because they have already invested their future at SC, and it is in THEIR benefit that SC remains open.


2. The other kind of students are those who go to SC, but they claim it is a "hell hole" and the administration lies, and that they were MISLED by the school and they want the TRUTH to get out there, so other students don't come to SC.

My question, why are the GROUP 2 students, who are studying at SC want this school to shut down? I mean are they not studying there too? What would happen to them if school just closes down on them? So isn't it in their disadvantage to bad mouth the school they are attending to extreme extents.

Who do they do it? Tell "the truth"
Why are they telling the truth, and exposing SC? Maybe they are telling the truth, because it is the right and moral thing to do?

SO they are telling the supposed truth Just to be on the HIGH MORAL GROUND? And if that is the case, I must applaud their ALTRUISTIC PERSONALITIES. WOW, I would definitely want to be classmate with a bunch of group who are so honest and moral, and stand on such high ground.

my 2 cents

I came to this decision after listining to Picard, Neilc, teratos, rrod and a few others.. that is why shell out more than $100,000 dollars for a schools future potential..They've all said why invest in a school that Will be good instead of a school that already is good...

I mean a 100 grand should be able to provide you with some basic facilities like maybe a lab, spacious classrooms, library, and some computers....

If you cant benifit for the schools potential at the present, then why go there....Its not like the schools giving me a discount or anything...Why pay the same money for a school that lacks things instead you can pay the same amount for an established school...

Iknowitall,

you two cents worth would be more like worth 3 cents if you spelled "listining" as listening.

You may have a very VALID point, I agree. But how about helping other "poor students" of other "not so well-established schools."

I think it is Extremely selfish of you to not point the weakness of other "not so well established schools." And imagine people what if people left this school for other "not so established school" and realizing that school has problems too. So you should give COMPLETE help to other students by clearly mentioning what schools "students" should attend.

I think you should share your cents around with students of other schools too.

Desidoc, your observations are a tad bit shy of slightly intelligent. There are not two kinds of people at St. Chris. Sure there are people here who do nothing but sing praises of St. Chris. Then their opposition being those who do nothing but bash the school they refuse to leave. But then there's a third, more ethical group. Who are they? Those who have seen the lies unfold, don't want to necessarily leave the school after making such a difficult shift in life, and instead of letting people come on here or in real life continue to lie and mislead, they make their voices heard. Not to sink the school, but rather to help people make more informed decisions. Despite all that is happening, St. Chris might still be the right place for some people. It's not your fault you don't know the full story of everything that's going on.

I know people in this third group. They are not out to bash St. Chris in any way, but tired of unproven hype that keeps coming out of the administration's mouth.

names

Just curious -- who are the forum members who are St. Chris students belonging to the 2nd and 3rd groups? No hearsay, please.

Um, well without any forum names, no one implictated can defend himself. So it's the choice of ppl here to cast aspersions about un-named third parties?

Hmmm. How confident and mature. And typical of those who attack St. Chris.
