Rosalind is a fine school. On a volunteering thing, I met an M1 and M3 from Ros, and they were cool and competent. I have no doubt about their abilities as future physicians, or the education they are receiving. If you like Ros, apply, and go there.
I think the reason people shun Ros is because it seems to take a back seat to the Chicago schools. People who apply to Chicago schools do so because they have some interest in being/living in the city. So if a person gets accepted to a school in Chicago, and Ros, they (i would assume) would be more likely pick a school in Chicago, because it is in Chicago. Therefore, it seems like people don't like Ros, but in realty, they just like Chicago. There was also a rumor ~2 yrs ago that Ros accreditation was on probation. It is my understanding that if a school loses its accreditation, it's degrees are meaningless. So people were concerned, if I go to Ros, and the problems aren't fixed, all my time, money, energy will be wasted. As usual, the rumor was false, and Ros accreditation is safe.
Go where you want.
This is somewhat inaccurate. CMS was in fact put on probation in 2005, but it rectified the issues to the LCME's satisfaction and was taken off of probation the next year. As you said, the school remained fully accredited the entire time.
I generally agree with the rest of your post.
