How many students are in the graduating class?

It doesn't say, I think the Chicago office will have to supply that info.

I know the first graduating class from Anguilla won't be until 2014 so hopefully these numbers should go up. Some of the matches are pretty impressive though.

I'll be attending Bonaire this fall and I'm kinda disapointed not to see any gen surg matches (at least prelim)...I'll just have to change that

Yeah, I've got the impression that their class sizes are fairly small. Are you planning on using some form of financial aid to pay for your tuition or just using personal funds?

I personally know 5 people this year from St.James who did not match.

Hopefully those 5 will have luck in the scramble.

From my understanding St. James doesn't use the FAFSA forms like we do here in the US for graduate studented fedral loans.

After using personal funds for both undergrad and grad school it looks like I'll be resorting to loans to pay for the majority. It's probably a good idea to contact one of the financial coordinators and see what some options are.

Which campus will you be attending?

Soniaa,

Any idea what the numbers are for the graduating class? Do you know whether the 5 people finally secured residencies?

The November 2011 SJSM newsletter states that 62 students applied to ERAS this year (and 12 also applied to CARMS in Canada).

So... are we talking about a (15/62 =) 24.19% match rate, not including the Canadian applicants?

Great job by those who matched, but that's pretty rough going for the other 75.81%.

found this as well. looks like 2011 and 2012 were good years.
