ROSS medical school review Experience of one ROSS Alumni
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a recent ross grad I can tell u first hand ROSS SACKS
if u dont know ross is med school in Dominica Caribbean
If you cant get in to US medical school this year reapply next year
Many teachers are at ross for the same reason that the student are (Cant get in to US schools)
Ross stands for (Rely On Self Study) It is all up to you, no one will help you. Ross simply cant let every one who comes to the island complete the first 2 years, they dont have clinical spots for every one, so 40 50% will fail. All will you get for you suffering is your loans.
About my statistics my class started out at 286 people and only 127 got to the 5th semester. I did see many people go to other Caribbean schools such as AUC or back home with nothing but tens of thousands in loans. During my time at ross changed ownership 3 times. This school is only about making money and education is up to you.
The teachers like Barish, Dezalu, Sunny, Stafan could not teach a frog how to jump. But i herd some of them finely got fired.
When I started ross we did not even need MCAT to get in, so I took a short cut
Few of my premed friends from took time and got in to normal school and believe you me they are in a mach different position now.
So take you time and do it right
Once you graduate from RO$$ or from any other FM school you are limited in your residency options are limited to IM or Family. Yes I know there is this one guy who got in to Ophthalmology. I know this guy his mom is a program director in Ophthalmology of the hospital he is doing residency.
RO$$ is not about abduction it is about a 2 chance for the students and only about making money for the administration. And no you are not treated as a highly paying costumer. You are treated like poop they know this is your last chance and you got no other place to go.
So take good hard look at your self. Do u really want to be a doctor?
After you graduate from ross dont think that the residency is waiting for you. All hospitals prefer American grads FMGs take what we can and if we can and we are grateful for that.
The above is no news to many of you but it would have helped me 5 years ago. I hope it helps you.

No doubt. I gue$$ to each his own. I'm $ure there are many more that would argue that RO$$ is a great $chool. Whatever.
