During interview day, the school presented its curriculum and stressed the positive aspects of several tracks. Students would study from 1-1.5 years at the main campus and then spread out to different cities for the remainder of their medical education. The school emphasized that it was common that most students get their first choices in their preferred city.
Recently it has come to the attention of interviewed applicants that the school has discontinued a track and will no longer be sending its students to that particular city. This was known by the school's administration prior to the day when interviewed students had to lock in their choice of schools i.e. if interviewed applicants chose this school as their #1 choice, they are required to go to this school if they are offered a spot in February. This development adversely affects applicants wanting to study on this track, and other tracks might be affected with increased competition.
The school's administration did not send out an email to interviewed students before decision day to lock down their #1 even though it was aware of these circumstances.
What is your take on the school administration's responsibility to give applicants notice after finding out this development prior to the day interviewees had to lock in their school decision?
I am not going to name the school. But all opinions welcomed.
