Gracias

Thank you, UAGDOC. This is the first communication we have received that had any answers. Your work is appreciated.

I am sorry uagdoc, maybe I am a little drunk today but what does that mean? can we get "official" letters of recommendation or no? can San Antonio act on our behalf to get a dean's letter and/or LOR with a UAG official letter head? My friends have gone to ask for letters and they were flat out denied unless they were for an LCME approved school. PLease clarify and thanks again for all of your help.

I admire in slowly changing (brainwashing) the minds of the students.Going to other universities, all will loose 1 year or 35to 40k. Why don't we convince the management to go to Mexican government to reduce social service for one year for international students?? Anyway we were to spend 1 year in 5pw. So either 5thpathway or 1 year social service. Why are we begging AMA and do not bother Mexican authority??
UAGDOC says that San Antonio office is ready to take calls and answer. WHAT ANSWER?????Have they achieved anything?? Please tell that staff to 1 year without pay check and take an exam after that to work there. Then they will know what kind of wrong things they are selling. The school has disappointed us and put us in bad shape. All other talks do not sell .We are behind even in 5pw and and now 1 more on the name of social service. Please tell the authority that American students are working 3 years with a little payment in residency , that is more than enough social service.

The response I gave to you was from the e-mail I received from the UAG administration. Please contact the San Antonio office to clarify this information. I can't verify if any students are having problems getting the LOR's in Guad since I am not there.

Medicodreamer,

I am just trying to help by giving current and prospective students a chance to talk to someone since the majority of the complaints in this forum are about the lack of communication.

thanks again Uagdoc. I will call them and see if I can clarify this issue for us. The response you got is obscure and really doesnt say much about the real issue here. It is not your fault, you always try to do your best and it is appreciated.
