mmmkay,
Oh man you got me there
I looked up your e-mail address as well and it turns out you work for one of the carribbean schools
very clever

No, you didn't.
Happily, I am accepted to a US school
and I do see the need for international schools but at least try to
get your **** together before you start one. You guys are
out of "A Confederacy of Dunces", the louder you yell that
you are legit and are being unfairly attacked the more
obvious it is to anyone who is smart enough to use the internet
that you are a house of cards. IF you find someone stupid enough
to give you money it is almost certainly a federal felony for you
to accept it. But the real medical issue is how someone as stupid as you achieves homeostasis.
Oh, and please...whatever you do, don't diversify you email accounts, it is so much more fun this way!
Two choices:
scrap it and start over once you get some people with cred. to sign on
find a new day job
al Qaeda?!?! WTF?...do they want you to start a flight school?

Hi,
One of our students forwarded me one of your messages. I do not know what your name is or what school you go to but I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

P.S. Is there a reason why you are using Claude Bernard's term to get your message across?

I am, of course, highly skeptical of the institution you claim to study at. Much of he information your organization releases is confrontational, paranoid and/or not in keeping with the level of professionalism expected of a school of any sort. I personally believe the school is a genuine attempt to create a new med school rather than a fraud but it is obvious you have neither qualified faculty nor a classroom location. How do you plan to remedy this? Would it not be better to recruit staff from operating schools? Set up an agreement with a tribal group offering free medical consultation for member in exchange for a location and see if you can get some actual funding and professional advice? If none of those seem like questions you can answer how about these:
How many students do you have?
How much of the instruction is web-based?
I see you take transfer students
if a student cannot do well at their original school why do you think they will do better at yours?
Given that your school does not require the MCAT, why are you listed in the reporting system?
Clear, honest answers to these questions would dispel much of my skepticism.
Thank you,
Peter
Oh, and the homeostasis comment was to see if you would look it up on Wikipedia

Peter,
Homeostasis is a term that I learned back when I was taking my pre-medicine biology. You have many questions that warrant two things. Either you failed out of your present medical school and you are looking to jump ship, or you want to see what new competition you may have when applying for residencies. For a person who claims, that he is in medical school, you sure have plenty of time on your hands to ask all of these questions.
Since you have built yourself quite a informational snuff box lets see what we can do:
1.We have a little less than a hundred students or so I think.
2.Web-based, I wouldn't know I never did the math on it.
3. You know sometimes students transfer because of location,location location.
4. Given the volume of students that have been applying we might require the MCAT later on.
On a side note, Yes, I am a member of the American Medical Student Association

p.s. Many students like yourself make the assumption that this school's main focus is to take adavantage of people. This can be compared to the assumption that the femur is the strongest bone in the body. Both are incorrect. Do you honestly actually believe that America's finest would participate in a scam? By the way, the strongest bone in the body is the occipital, and if you are going to try to look this up on wikipedia, its incorrect.

As you really only answered one of my questions, I feel I cannot properly understand
just what your school is about unless you re-post your YouTube videos. I never got to see them.
I am not about to trade medical tidbits with you... I was insulting you, I can't believe you replied.
Peter
Oh, and I haven't had a chance to fail out yet. I said I had been accepted, nothing more. Do try to pay attention.

Peter,
I answered the questions truthfully, and its obvious to me you like playing the role of detective but in this case the trail has gone cold. Maybe its because we are genuine and a brand new medical school is here to give people an opportunity to serve not only in their communities but also in the armed forces.
Its offensive and ridiculous for you to think that retired Naval Officers are involved with a scam!
Sincerely,
SUSOM
