How important is corporation for schools with offices or agencies in the USA?

[TheDervish]

Let's say there's a foreign/offshore medical school, and they like to recruit students from the USA. This process is facilitated by an agency or office in one of the 50 states of the USA (accepting applications, tuition payments, etc etc). What happens if a corporation corresponding to that entity either does not exist, or was only formed very very recently in relation to the total time that the medical school office/agency has been around in the USA? Would that be a red-flag sign that something is amiss?

Could be. But why not disclose which school/agency this is?

(IMO, agents are bad news.)

I'd rather not give them time and warning to spin and clean up their messes, if any.

Not until I gather more information, anyway.

I agree with your opinion regarding agents, BTW.

If you mean charter of the school that can be a problem. In other words, the school was operating without govt recognition..thus if it is proven that the school wasn't chartered students from that era will be unable to license. We've seen it before with schools like Grace for instance.
