No, not the good kind – the bad kind. It seems that negativity is very contagious here. I do not think I need to state reasons why it is negative here; we all know. Never in my life would I have expected the UAG to turn its back on us, but I cannot give any justification why they have chosen to just be silent when we all have so much invested here. It is one thing for the AMA or others outside to do something against us, but it is becoming clearer that we are not exactly loved by "our own" either. We have not been given our options, contingencies based on possible outcomes, or any official statement - nothing. This, if nothing else, shows the lowest possible level of respect for us. To say we are all discurraged is an understatement.

I will be trying to make the best of everything here (and there is still a lot of good here). However, I have gotten to a point where even I have nothing good to say. Thus, I will probably be taking a vacation from this board.

Good luck everyone.

It is hard to say something positive about the school and its lack of public relations when it comes to their best bet to keep sucking money out of us, current students. They dont really care and they are counting on silence coupled with a bunch of ignorant, careless, uninformed students to keep banking on their lack of initiative and/or abundant hope. It seems like the UAG think of themselves as the last resort/opportunity for the majority of students to achieve an MD and so they act accordingly. It is a very sad time for all of us and a disappointment to the many of us that at one time defended the school left and right. Some even like Cabrillo got banned defending UAG. There is nothing more to defend or to support. There are many good things here but CURRENTLY the bad out-weights the good. Rest acgt and I hope for the best. I am taking a permanent vacation from the school; I have no choice. Good luck

Some of us are already in our holiday from public posting; If acgtx3 has fallen this is a notable time indeed.

At the risk of posting something hilarious but potentially sniper-worthy, I'll instead post a google search link to the phrase I would wittily manipulate, and leave the reader to giggle at the possibilities:

So much disappointing................
Rasputindoc has decided to to quit the school as I see. Rest loyal writers are giving up as there nothing positive to write or read. Students are interviewing with Ross. Still school has not wake up. I am even surprised by our student representatives. I think they are covered , so they do not care. I was critic of UAGDOC but I think he was the only positive thinker. He was trying to boost the morale. What to say more........ Nothing but dark ahead.

What is going on at UAG ? Please inform me

Here I was thinking no news is good news

nothing is going on with uag, everything is the same. professors are still giving out exams, students still are studying, the cafeteria is still lime green, the school still doesnt communicate, and we have to do 6 years now.
nothing exciting, uag is not dark, its full of purple flowers about this time.
OK back to studying, physio exam tomorrow. some of us are not going anywhere so we still have to hit the books.
acgt needs some SSRI's <---------------(i learned something new today in class )

You and Karp really need to stop smoking that stuff together the night before a test.

"No news is good news"...
A 67-year-old male patient comes to your office with lower back pain. After careful consideration, you suspect metastatic prostate cancer. You order the tests, and have the results.

A.) Tell him the truth, discuss options, warn of treatment limitations and side effects, discuss costs, etc.

B.) Tell him he was going to die someday anway, and to get over it.

C.) Tell him he has only 5 months to live, so go enjoy life.

D.) Tell him nothing because it might get better, and the patient does not need to be involved in things that affect his life.

The correct answer according to the UAG admin is D - no news is good news.
