Looking for honest feedback from current students or recent graduates. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information online, so I would truly appreciate firsthand experiences.

I would like to have some honest feedback on:

1. What is the approximate attrition rate? About how many students who start the basic sciences make it to clinical rotations and eventually graduate on time?
2. How manageable are the classes to pass? Are the quizzes and exams fair, and are they more focused on what is taught in class or on textbooks?
3. How difficult are the NBME/CBSE/CCSE requirements? Do the majority of the students pass on the first attempt? If not, what is the remediation process?
4. How are the professors overall? Are they available when students need help? Is the student academic support system responsive and helpful?
5. Is the overall student environment collaborative and supportive, or is it more competitive and isolating?
6. How are the clinical rotation sites in terms of teaching quality, locations, and organization?
7. Once students complete all the requirements, is a clinical rotation placement available right away for every eligible student, or are spots limited?
8. Do students have choices regarding where they rotate? Are delays or gaps between core and elective rotations common? If so, how long is the average waiting period?

Just want to get a realistic and honest understanding of both the positives and negatives rather than rumors. Recent experiences would be extremely helpful. Please feel free to comment or send me a DM. Thank you :)

Going to American University of Antigua (AUA) Medical School this Fall 2026; anyone else going? How is everyone preparing? For those that's already there, how is it - pros and cons?

So, I saw mostly negative comments about the school, and yet I still see people going, and I've seen a lot have graduated and go on to match from that school, so it's hard for me to decide what to believe.
