Hi all,
I was considering applying for AUA this coming fall but I have a few friends that came back after the spring semester and said that it’s a complete disaster over there with the new "next" curriculum. It’s basically only two exams per semester with three mini quizzes that don’t count. I am particularly scared of only having two exams that count. I was also told that there were no lectures which makes no sense seeing as how it is a medical education and it is tough. only recently did they decide to add daily "reviews" that are not really lectures and they are only two hours daily. This makes me wonder if the school is legit enough especially since I heard that the attrition rate for the fall of 2017 was nearly 80 percent. I also visited the school nearly two month ago and talked with the students on campus and they said that they were repeaters I barley found any students that were not repeaters. This is a terrifying gamble being as how the loans for the semester are nearly 32,000 plus 6.8 interest rate. so, my question is towards the spring class that just started this year did you guys have an attrition rate similar to the fall? I've heard that the students relied more on Kaplan, did the Kaplan questions help in anyway? I was considering also going to trinity being as how they have classes of nearly 25 students per semester and they are on an accelerated track in terms of curriculum. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
