Western on probation?

I was just talking to a friend who heard that Western University was on probation with the accreditation people because a lot of their students were not passing their boards. How true is this? Western is one of the schools that I am thinking about attending and I want to know if this is true before I make my decision.

With that said, I am deciding between Western and USN. I need to decide on which one to go to. I need help!!!

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

According to Pharmcas, they are "full accreditation status"

That's an old statement I've heard about before I've even started applying to pharmacy school. I have a friend that goes to Western currently and she told me their school had the highest passing rate for this past year's boards. She also forwarded me her school newsletter where the school was congragulating everyone on it. If it was true before, Western has certainly made many improvements. She also told me that her exams are much harder when comparing them to past years. Good luck with whatever school you decide!
