Gullibility is one of the negative differentials that PDs are loath to accept Carib grads, and is also one of the traits that these diploma mills prey upon.
a friend of mine is set on going to Ross. stats wise she is not competitive for US MD schools, but she could definitely get into a DO school. I've tried convincing her to go DO over carib, but she is convinced an MD from Ross will help her more than going to a US DO school.. sigh.. anyway, she recently showed me a bunch of promotional packets she got from Ross in an attempt to convince me that her idea of going carib is solid.
one thing she got from Ross was a list of residency placements and she had circled all the competitive ones listed (surgery at mount sinai and neuro at duke are a few I remember seeing).
the other packet she had said that the Ross USMLE step 1 first time pass rate is 97 % and that this is higher than the first time pass rate for US MD students which was 96 %
I am truly concerned for her because she has been so misled. she has no idea what she is getting herself into
