I just think the tuition is a little too steep compared to other schools that have the credentials. Every new school has to start somewhere though…

Wow, and you are too optimistic. It has a long way to go to catch up with the big 3. I'm not saying it may not get there, but i can't see it happening soon. I plan to start med school soon but I sure will not be their guinea pig. Reputation needs time to built, not history at another school.

Ownership?

I am really surprised that a school is allowed on St. Vincent's since St. George's has a campus there. Anyone know who owns this new pearl of the Caribbean? Not much substantive info on the web site. Yossarrian

Yes, it's new. No, I dont think it's open yet.

If it 10k for 4 semesters then that's a good deal. But...


I was looking at their financial webpage and come across this:
Quote:
Canadian students are eligible for federal loans through the Ministry of Education Student Support Branch in a province of residence. Students may apply for up to 52 weeks of financial assistance annually. Work directly with your individual province for information regarding requirements.
In reality, the student loans will not be available for this school till it's designated. The school will need to initiate this (or a student can). Then the student loan office will check accreditation. Thus far, I dont see any evidence of accreditation.

And I also dont see why Royal Bank will lend any money without proof of accreditation.

This school is too new and too risky till it can prove governmental accreditation and listed on IMED.

Notice that two of the founders were recently a part of Ross University. In fact, one of them worked in the AICM office in Miami in Admissions until recently (see my jumped ship post on Ross)
