I'm sure no student at St. Chris wants to step on anyone else's shoes. All these students want is to finish their pursuit in a dream which seems to be fading away.

Kigezi students applied and got accepted into SGU, Ross, SC, and other schools. There was not any advertisement about SGU's offer to Kigezi students. Why now SGU decided to advertise this offer in the public forums?

SGU had dealt with the similar situation with the closure of Kigezi school last year. So, please do not waste your breath on telling SGU admission office how to do their job.

Trasnfering issues
Its come to my attention that folks thinking of transfer from st. chris should be careful; There is a chance that they will be unlicensible at the end of the day, at least in states like California. If trasnfering, seriously consider starting over; some schools will offer scholarship for those accepted in caribbean for instance, but not advanced standing (ie you dont pay more money, just more time). The issue apparently is that if a state does not recognize a school, they will not recognize the credits NO MATTER who decides to pick up the credits (ie no repeated stuff from recognized schools). Im told sgu once gave one year of credit to Kigezi students who transfered and when they graduated, CA made them come back to SGU and re-do the first year of medicine if they wanted to be licensed! This is info passed onto me and as always its up to you to evaluate these issues completely for yourself before making any decisions. I apologize if any of this info is incorrect but you should know the questions that you should ask as you look into your plans. All the best,

hey,

I just wanted to point out that no one that transferred into SGU from Kigezi was given advanced standing and that none of those transfers have graduated yet....................so hence, none of them have had any liscensure issues.

thanks!
