misinformation? the statistics from your school very clearly indicate that YOU are the one who is misinformed.
Most likely the OP is a school administrator/salesman and not the accepted candidate. These salesmen get a bonus the more students enroll. After all it is a for-profit school. I knew a slew of carribbean grads who never matched and are now 200k in the hole. I don't see why the US allows this and no one has started a class-action law-suit. Threads like these can be used in such law-suit where mis-information is spread by the school.

I went back to my old job as a paralegal. I have been working in the legal field since I was a child and it was a fall back option when I couldn't find employment after finishing my B.S. in Biochemistry.
This is coming from someone that said "only three matched into primary care" ........ you are dissing primary care just as much as the poster you replied to.
Just because you're successful doesn't mean a majority will...... these Caribbean stereotypes exist for a reason because most people fall under it. I am risk averse and would never drink the kool aid you're trying to push.
Pre-meds out there, be weary of this snake oil salesman.
avoid Saba, from a business perspective it is on very shaky ground right now
see my previous post http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/saba-university.1195512/#post-17670228
Your right, lets give him/her the benefit of the doubt and double that to 0.0276% success rate.
You are assuming that the OP is not a troll. I'm not. C'mon, what sane person would actually do this: "I was actually accepted to 2 M.D schools, but because money wasn't a factor for me, and I wanted a different experience, I chose Ross. It wasn't a "second choice" for me."
????
Unless, of course the "2 MD" were SGU and AUA, or other Carib diploma mills?

If I didn't take the OP seriously I'd be down a Macbook. Let me at least choose areas of denial that would improve my QoL for the time being.
To be fair, a US MD or DO student with that USMLE history and a failed semester would have a very tough time as well.
I know I wasn't the only person waiting for this 😛.
Too bad this guy found a buffet. I bet he's morbidly obese right now.
And boom http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...arib-ask-me-why-you-should-stay-away.1199038/
The problem is that this guy isn't a troll but a hired salesman by Caribbean medschools whose spreading misinformation. This is much more damaging than a troll and can cost some poor soul hundreds of thousands of dollars. SDN shouldn't allow these schools to advertise on SDN. They're like tobacco companies.

haha thanks @gonnif I wasn't being serious, was wanting to troll him.
I would say this right here is how you managed to match into derm. How many of your parents and relatives are physicians who helped you get interviews? Congratulations on your well-deserved success, but to come on here and suggest that your experience can be matched by the average medical student from the Caribbean is privileged and naive at best and dishonest and cruel at worst....
Final quote suggests troll. Classic move. Stir up controversy and argument's and then take his leave. You could tell when he responded to someone's quote with nothing but an emoji, and he asked if they couldn't type properly, yet look at all these smiley faces. Lol
Then stop feeding the troll. Yeah the troll contributed to this mess,but we just keep coming back and saying our piece, and it brings more attention to the whole thing.
You figure 2016 would be a perfect time to "recruit" prospective premeds over to the Caribbeans when the fully implemented single accreditation system kicks in 2020. Just saying...
Hello guys! So my first account got suspended:
1) I guess I am a troll- i'm completing my Ph.D in Psychology, and a small part of my thesis is "how trolling affects online communities"
2) I dislike Carib schools- cousin went to one, yeah she got a residency, but not the one she wanted
3) Any potential pre-med that messaged me, I directed them to forums about why the Carib is not the best
4)Thanks for everyone that responded.I know you guys hated me, but I got some good stuff for my paper.
5) Especially the ones that were die-hard about Carib schools- you're doing pre-meds a service there.
I know you guys hate me, but best! And Thanks.

lol what. If true...great job.
Wouldn't there be a banner on the original account's profile thumbnail saying it had been suspended?

If true, I would really like to see this dissertation.
It says I have insufficient privileges here, and I couldn't start a new thread.
Hahah man it's due in August? It's supposed to be published so i'll link ya to it
I am so tempted to report you to the ethics board for your "research"
What you've done could have posed a serious risk to people's futures and had the potential to negatively impact the lives of many naive but well-intentioned students.
2/10 troll job, please gtfo.
A) Any potential med student that made up their mind in this one thread to go to the Carib. does not deserve to be a physician, if their mind is that easily swayed.
And B) My dissertation was already approved by my ethics board because they couldn't see how saying an "opinion" would harm anyone else. If someone is this naive the truth is harsh, but it's that maybe you should consider another field.
C)Dude, don't threaten me about my work please.

I am a former US military intelligence officer, now a medical student. One of the ways that Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden were outed and identified was by matching language, sentence structure and word choice between anonymous and identified posts. These clearly do not match. While I hope this is true and you were just trolling, I do not believe this at all. This thread is harmful and I really hope no pre-meds actually believe the Caribbean Kool-Aid spouted here.
Lmao okay? Mr. Military Officer, why would I have even made this new account then?.....I"m required by my board to disclose this. Also, I don't really care if you don't believe this, it doesn't really affect me.
Also...any pre-meds that made up their mind about attending a Carib. University simply because of this thread need to consider if they can become a physician. They are going to get conflicting reports when they are doctors, and if one report can skew their mind, I hope they're not my doctor.
ppl intentionally make threads like this bc they know they are going to get reactions..they are bored and want attention.... we can see right through this. of course you would make a thread about a caribbean grad matching into derm on SDN of all places....LOL do you think we are fools? *don't feed the troll*
Lol, first of all, if you are the OP, you are misgendering me, something the OP clearly had an issue with. Secondly, a lot of people who are motivated to direct students away from the misinformation spread here could EASILY have made a new burner account, claim to be the OP, and admit to be trolling.
Again, I do hope you are the OP, or that the OP is just a troll. I just do not believe it based on the evidence.
Yeeeeeeeah there's definitely still something weird about the whole situation. Someone- maybe two someones getting their jollies for...who knows.
For one, it does not say on the original poster's thumbnail that the account is suspended, on hold, or banned.
For two, why would one need to start a troll thread oneself to show how trolls affect online communities?
For three, why choose SDN and that topic over...I don't know, reddit, 4chan, etc?
*Edit * Versus just watching an another troll situation play out, I mean.
The fact that he got approval to do trolling on a site shows how trash his "research" is. No legit research even in the social science circles would stoop to something like this.
Probably some low tier for profit PhD mill. I hear there are plenty in the US catering to people's desire for attaining an advanced degree.
Man this really supports the notion that even PhD candidates/ PhDs can be absolutely *****ic.
Where are the admins?
What does it mean to have insufficient privileges? That's what happened when I tried to use my original account....
Nah, someone can match into a PGY-2 spot in 2016 that does not start until 2017. Presumably that individual will simultaneously match into a PGY-1 intern year that runs from 2016-2017.
Ross's website lists its two derm placements as PGY-2 positions at SUNY HSC Brooklyn (i.e. Downstate) and GWU. Someone really diligent/stalkery could check the resident rosters at those two places in 2017 and see who the Ross grads are. I do not believe either of them is the OP.
There has been some fruitful discussion on this thread in the past couple of days, but I think we have reached the limit of its usefulness.
