MUA Nevis vs. MERP

$

Hi guys,

I'm having last minute indecisiveness about which program I should choose: ROSS MERP or direct MUA Med 1.

Overall, I'm leaning towards MUA because it seems easier to stay in and complete, while getting a decent USMLE score.


Factors that I've been thinking about:

-Ross / MERP has an apparently high attrition rate.
-MUA's Med 1 semester is apparently the "easiest," from what I've read


Has anyone experienced BOTH of these programs? Or has anyone else on this forum ever faced this dilemma?

Rumours spreading about MUA and California.

I have confirmed that California has NOT done their final visit and there is NO date scheduled for a final visit. IT will probably happen but don't hold your breath.
probably still years away.

Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life, Purpose of Human Life, philosophical/religious facts, theories etc.
___________________________
***********
Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second )

can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ??

if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ?

that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him.
there is also next life. and i already proved you that no scientist, no politician, no so-called intelligent man in this world is able to understand this Truth. cuz they are imagining. and you cannot imagine what is god, who is god, what is after life etc.
_______
for example :Your father existed before your birth. you cannot say that before your birth your father don,t exists.

So you have to ask from mother, "Who is my father?" And if she says, "This gentleman is your father," then it is all right. It is easy.
Otherwise, if you makes research, "Who is my father?" go on searching for life; you'll never find your father.

( now maybe...maybe you will say that i will search my father from D.N.A, or i will prove it by photo's, or many other thing's which i will get from my mother and prove it that who is my Real father.{ So you have to believe the authority. who is that authority ? she is your mother. you cannot claim of any photo's, D.N.A or many other things without authority ( or ur mother ).

if you will show D.N.A, photo's, and many other proofs from other women then your mother. then what is use of those proofs ??} )

same you have to follow real authority. "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Narada, Vyasa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the acaryas have accepted. Then I'll follow.
I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished.

Why should you waste your time?
_______
all that is you need is to hear from authority ( same like mother ). and i heard this truth from authority " Srila Prabhupada " he is my spiritual master.
im not talking these all things from my own.
___________

in this world no `1 can be Peace full. this is all along Fact.

cuz we all are suffering in this world 4 Problems which are Disease, Old age, Death, and Birth after Birth.

tell me are you really happy ?? you can,t be happy if you will ignore these 4 main problem. then still you will be Forced by Nature.
___________________

if you really want to be happy then follow these 6 Things which are No illicit sex, No gambling, No drugs ( No tea & coffee ), No meat-eating ( No onion & garlic's )

5th thing is whatever you eat `1st offer it to Supreme Lord Krishna. ( if you know it what is Guru parama-para then offer them food not direct Supreme Lord Krishna )

and 6th " Main Thing " is you have to Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare ".
_______________________________
If your not able to follow these 4 things no illicit sex, no gambling, no drugs, no meat-eating then don,t worry but chanting of this holy name ( Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra ) is very-very and very important.

Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare " and be happy.

if you still don,t believe on me then chant any other name for 5 Min's and chant this holy name for 5 Min's and you will see effect. i promise you it works And chanting at least 16 rounds ( each round of 108 beads ) of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra daily.
____________
Here is no Question of Holy Books quotes, Personal Experiences, Faith or Belief. i accept that Sometimes Faith is also Blind. Here is already Practical explanation which already proved that every`1 else in this world is nothing more then Busy Foolish and totally idiot.
_________________________
Source(s):
every `1 is already Blind in this world and if you will follow another Blind then you both will fall in hole. so try to follow that person who have Spiritual Eyes who can Guide you on Actual Right Path. ( my Authority & Guide is my Spiritual Master " Srila Prabhupada " )
_____________
if you want to see Actual Purpose of human life then see this link : ( www ( dot ) asitis ( dot ) com {Bookmark it })
read it complete. ( i promise only readers of this book that they { he/she } will get every single answer which they want to know about why im in this material world, who im, what will happen after this life, what is best thing which will make Human Life Perfect, and what is perfection of Human Life. ) purpose of human life is not to live like animal cuz every`1 at present time doing 4 thing which are sleeping, eating, sex & fear. purpose of human life is to become freed from Birth after birth, Old Age, Disease, and Death.

i know i messed up big time in my undergrad. i am just looking for some opinions on my chances into mua or any other advice on any other schools that i might have a chance at.
my undergrad gpa is around 2.3 because of me not taking school seriously at the time and prioritizing work over school(bad idea) . i have taken all the pre med required courses with C's or better. Mcat i also took while i was doing my undergrad without studying for it at all. my mcat score was a 18. it has been 2 years since i finished my undergrad and i have been working since in a completely different field and i have made good money but my desire to go to med school keeps pulling me back. sometimes just money isn't satisfying. now that i feel like i have matured alot more and will take my studies seriously. so Now i am finally ready to apply and take the next step. i heard some good things about mua but even if theres any other schools that you guys recommend for my grades plz let me know.

New Dean on Campus

What does everyone think of the new Dean they got on campus from Saba....on a scale of 1 to 10?
I did a calculation, based on his similarity to Frankenstein and Heinrich Himmler and came
up with a value of -22,990. I talked to my girlfriend and amazingly she came up with a similar negative number. Which is weird, considering we're usually pretty conservative. What does everyone think?

MUA kicking students out after passing comprehensive shelf exam? - 2014!!

$
0
0
hey guys, just needed a suggestion. I was planning to apply to MUA for next semester to start medical school. However, I heard from a distant relative that MUA recently kicked about 20 or so students out even after passing the comprehensive shelf exam? is this true?

MUA changed the contract for their students behind their backs and automatically made them comply to new contract rules. up until last year students would take 6 or even 8 months to take step 1 examination. Ive heard that this year they didnt notify the students of their policy changes and automatically kicked students out of the school after 120 days (4 months) of not taking step 1?


is there any truth to this? I need to confirm this with more people, because there is no way i am going to this school if the school administration is being so sneaky and changing contracts behind students backs!!!!

someone please confirm this news with me, i need to make a decision soon, either MUA or AUA. I'd rather go to AUA if this is true!

about my Departure

$
0
0
I have heard conflicting stories about my departure from MUA and thought I would weigh in at some point, for clarification.
I suppose my frustration with the terribly misguided RLRA "research" assignment, a massive waste of time and energy (considering the students' prior obligations toward clinicals and USMLE
at that time frame), contributed to my termination, as I became more vocal about being part of that fiasco, but that's just speculation. I should mention, it became increasingly difficult to work enthusiastically at MUA since Ralph Crum arrived, because he is a campus bully (and an unscrupulous control freak); proper checks and balances between faculty and administration have since broken down, so I'm starting to think the whole event regarding termination, and getting away from the campus, and the recent changes there, was more a blessing than a curse.

Anyway, here's what happened:

I was given a call (at home) after the term ended, April 18, Good Friday, around 2:30 PM from Ralph Crum telling me I had been terminated and that I needed to clear out my office by 5 PM. I asked what the reason for termination was but only received a mealy-mouthed, evasive response that had nothing to do with the question. I thought, this can't be right, people are heading home today...and most Professors get plenty of warning before being let go, and went down to campus around 3 PM and reluctantly cleared my office out until 4:30 when I saw Sharon Lescott, she demanded to have the keys. I told her I was not done yet and we could not reach a compromise and I ended up keeping the keys over Spring Break (April 29-May 3) when I was off in California seeing family. I was never given 2 weeks notice or a written warning about my performance, or a fair and valid explanation for termination, as is prescribed by the St Kitts Employment Protection Act.
I came back to Nevis May 4. On May 9, I was told by an Official at the Dept of Labour investigating my predicament that Sharon Lescott told him "Golly, we do not know why Tom would come to you....we wanted to cooperate and there is a 'lengthy and explicit' Termination Letter which will explain everything." Baffled, since the MUA approach seemed anything but cooperative, I went to the MUA campus immediately to return the keys and see the letter and pick up my contract. Sharon Lescott said she could not find my employment contract (!!) and all the termination letter said was "We appreciate your help. We do not require your services any longer." I was upset and so was the Official who had been told (ie, lied to) that we could pick up the contract and get a lengthy explanation for termination...Later when the same Official at the Department of Labour forced the issue, Ms. Lescott was suddenly able to "find" my contract.
So as you can see, with all the obfuscation and deceit, at some point I realized I was not dealing with honest people, and that MUA officials would distort the truth at any opportunity. I suppose the lack of Human Resource Management at MUA, in conjunction with its geographic location, and a tyrannical new Dean constituted the Perfect Storm that gave rise to such an unusual state of affairs. It seems strange and ironic that people who try come across as "tough" on campus did not have the courage to give me a face-to-face talk regarding my sudden termination at the school, but rather called me at home on a holiday and hid in the shadows when I tried to have a direct conversation about the matter. I would encourage any students to take whatever measures they deem appropriate (angry parents are not a bad start) to ensure that MUA start showing students a little respect, because the current hostile environment would never be considered acceptable at an American medical school, by any stretch of the imagination, for students
paying a lot of money to attend. I wish the best of luck to students who are dealing with this environment currently and hope they can make the best out of a bad situation.

Sincerely,

Tom McCormack, PhD
(former) Professor of Neuroscience and Physiology
