This post is much more meaningful. I cannot disagree with you here.

I'd say the mantra/broken record 50 States, 4000 graduates is grossly overrated. You can't compare 30+ y.o school with 8+ y.o school. That's just baseless. So if your family is important to you, or in my case, I've gotta watch what I eat, and eat on schedule, Dominica was extremely tough. And I've got quite sick over there. I'm not saying that one couldn't get sick on Cayman, but some of you guys need to get over yourselves. Just visit Dominica. Everything we do needs to be looked at in a certain perspective. Being accepted to ROSS does not mean you'll make it there. And I don't mean just in the academic sense. So go ahead, try, and see it for yourself.

Hey! That's my state! And a darn fine state it is!!

I CAN'T wait to get back to good ol' Cali! Their smoke-free laws make it the best place to live (for me, this is).

A gorgeous place to live, GREAT weather, an hour drive to the beach, 1 hour to the mountains & snow, 1.5 hours to the desert.

yea, but you need a drysuit in order to not get hypothermic in the cali surf.

Haha, so true. It's hard to beat the amazing warmth of the Caribbean waters! I have never been able to see the sand under 4 ft of water in calif.

But I'll trade the humidity of the Caribbean for the arid weather of California any day!

Clever. Stupid, but clever.

Now, why don't you put those posts in chronological order.

I don't care what you believe. Your opinion means nothing to me.

Glad it was great reading. I'm still going to outscore both of you, along with the rest of your schools, (by far) on Step 1, 2 and 3!!!

mcgillgrad

COMPLETELY FALSE!!! I'm going to outscore everyone on Step 1, 2 and 3!! Where I go to medical school has NOTHING to do with it! I learn from the Pass Program, and that is what is going to get me the perferct score! My step 1, 2 and 3 scores with have absolutely NOTHING to do with SMU!!!!

I agree, SMU needs to improve to compete with the big dogs. You are full of wisdom today

Stating that St. Matts failed a handfull of other states is a false statement...... Yes Cali did not approve SMU however, NO OTHER STATE HAS REVIEWED ST. MATTS AND DISAPPROVED THEM. Now those are the facts. Do your research before making false statements...... Doesn't mean SMU is better but let's keep to the truth when posting.

So true, SABA is not much older than SMU. Why could they get it done and not SMU! But, we have to remember there is always tomorrow. So, you never know what can happen in the future. SMU continues to improve, and who knows.

If that's the case then I argue that there are alot of schools not allowed to practice in states that they claim they are. Does SABA have students practicing in Cali? No, so does that mean they are not allowed to practice there? That's just a bogus statement you made there.

Hmmmm, interesting seeing that I got accepted to SGU, Ross, and SMU and decided on SMU. Oh and it was a very logical decision. Do you ever know what your talking about?
