I honestly have confidence that our official acceptances will be mailed out in August. Their site meeting is this month then the final decision meeting is in August. They had over a year to fix any issues that could fail they accreditation guide lines. We just have to be patient.

Ah ok... another question after the visit in April are they gonna let us know when they are gonna open or they gonna wait till August to let us know for sure?

So from my understanding the CODA accreditation people are different from the BPPE (the ones who allow them to start). So the last email they sent out it (2/18/21) stated that they are working with them to get the approval for a September start date. I think after the site meeting in April the BPPE process will go a little faster. And then they should grant permission around the time of the final CODA meeting in August. I’m sure CNU has a curriculum set in place with the necessary faculty. If not they wouldn’t anticipate a September start date.

Lastly, CNU is very good about updating us throughout this whole process. I’m assuming a email will be sent out after the CODA site meeting dates explaining any new information that they have.

Hey everyone! Are you guys reapplying this cycle or sticking with cnu? What if they don’t open until July and we have to reapply?

They haven’t made a decision yet regarding if we have to reapply if they open in July right? I think they’ll open at the latest January 2022.

Do u think we will get official acceptance in August or before that?

Congrats! I also got accepted recently and talked to the associate dean about it. From what she said, I think it is most likely we will get the official acceptance letters in August but we shall see how their meeting with CODA goes in a couple of days (site visit is 4/20/2021-4/21/2021) and see what BPPE says after that .

If they do start in July (which the associate dean said was the worse case scenario) then we do not need to reapply. It sounded that they were pretty confident that they will be given the ok and that the need to reapply would not be necessary as of now. All we can do now is wait.

Is there anyone here from the LA area that’s been accepted?

I feel like a lot of the people that CNU CDM is accepting are from out of state. I know some people in Cali that applied but did not get offered and interview. Feels like they are aiming mainly for out of state students but I could be wrong!
 
did you guys get any confirmation email after you accept the offer?

No since it is not a formal acceptance since they are not allowed to send acceptances without being accredited. We will be formally accepted once the school is accredited. I spoke to Dr. Xenoudi after I accepted it to ask questions and she said that there will be email for updates after they make progress.

does anyone know if you can do REPAYE or will qualify for student loan forgiveness (if it ever does happen) with private loans? sorry if this is a dumb question i dont know much about the difference between private loans and the ones you apply with FAFSA.
Click to expand...
Idk about REPAYE but I doubt you get student loan forgiveness with private loans. I think the main difference between federal student loans and private student loans is that private has a higher interest rate (stupid high). I’m confused to why CNU doesn’t qualify for federal loans. Also their medical school is gonna be cheaper than their dental so idk if private loans will fully cover our tuition 😂

Not that any school is worth that much but for a new school with no prestige or track record to charge this much is absurd. But they know people with no options will take it.

For those taking out loans, add on another $100,000, give or take, for accrued interest.

How much do you prospective students expect to earn after graduation? Seriously.

Yeah the tuition is absolutely insane. Didn’t they say 76k tuition (not including room/board etc) I’m trying to add stuff up and I don’t get where 76k came from.

It will take longer for bppe to give accreditation due to COVID. CODA already came but bppe still needs to approve the program. The programs opening in September was dependent on how quick bppe could approve the program . It seems the process is longer now because of covid so it will
Open in January instead of September.

This institution has chosen to deny their students access to federal loans and payback mechanisms.
They are the only medical school to actively deny their students this opportunity.

“we hope to proceed with accepting and admitting the inaugural class to start in January 2022”. - CNU CDM

is this not the email you guys got? This sounds like they’re starting January 2022 and September 2021 seems off the table.

Correct. Their medical school has had a few graduating classes and students don’t have access to federal loans. It is not because they are a new school. They intentionally choose not to offer federal loans because they get some sort of commission from lending partners.

Gotcha. Well that sucks. January is a while away which pushes back graduation date. At least we’ll know in August.

Their pre-existing Pharm school made it possible for their inaugural med school class to have the benefit that every Caribbean school fights to obtain and maintain. They have chosen to limit their students' financial options in broad daylight for years now.

Is it somehow more profitable for the school not to take federal financial aid?

If all these red flags haven’t convinced you to completely avoid this school, I only have this to say...
