I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out if I should go to AUA or MUA. I've had an interview with AUA about a week ago and I'm waiting on a reply and MUA has accepted me but I'm in the 2 semester premed program befor I go to MD.
AUA looks like the better school, with accreditation in New York, Florida, and California but they don't have US federal aid (yet, according to a student they have it, but its not in effect valuemd.com/american-university-antigua-aua/235820-title-iv-3.html#post1517483 )
They also had some issues with cheating a few years back? Looks like it's blown over now and the people involved gone.
MUA doesn't have California accreditation yet due to high professor turnover rates and high dropout/failure rates, but they do have the William D Ford loan program (different from Title IV). The lack of California accreditation does worry me a bit as far as residency goes.
Also how is the quality of both schools, as in the education and facilities? From what I can tell both are fairly up to date schools with modern buildings. AUA does have a systems based curriculum which seems like it's a good thing. Seems like MUA is increasing their requirements to get California.
If you guys have any advice about either school that would be helpful, as well as correcting me if I have any wrong info
