As everyone may know by now that there will be 3 new schools opening this coming fall of 2009, which I believe is way too much and making the field become even more saturated. Well my question is, all these schools have the pre-accreditation approval by the ACOE and are now able to start accepting application for this coming fall term and the school is not full accredited until there first graduating class have good standing. I know its a long process for the schools to get this pre approve accreditation and ACOE wouldnt approve it if they didnt believe that the school is capable of producing future optometrist. So I was wondering if a student get accepted to one of these 3 new schools (Western, Midwestern, and UIW) and decided to go there, and by 2013, in there 4th year and about to graduated, the school doesnt receive the accreditation due to poor board passing rate or other factor, does that mean that basically the student have spent the last 4 years and spent all the money being in debt for nothing , or is there a solution for the student if the school that they went to isnt accredited?
