Quick question regarding pre-reqs (because I'm on the waitlist).

 

The schools that I have attended list classes as "Prep for Gen Chem," or "Prep for Biology" instead of listing them General Chem I and so forth. Then the second class in the line up is just General Chemistry. Do these classes count towards the pre-req requirement? These class titles vary from state to state. I suppose I can give catalog description if it came down to discussion.

I don't believe "Prep for Chemistry" counts as credit for "General Chemistry". The General Chemistry and General Biology classes go more into depth. You should call the admissions department just to confirm, though.

Hey all...... so I am a recent graduate of the program class of 2011 and I must tell you to be aware of what you are getting into with Chatham. The two years of the program there were many, and I really do mean many, points in the program where faculty unnecessarily put their students through the ringer. If you really look at the statistics of this program, you will find out that every year the program loses a substantial amount of their admitted class! Our class of 2011 lost 11% of our admitted class and 6% were decelerated (meaning they were allowed to return to class of 2012); additionally out of those 6 individuals that were decelerated, 2 of them are left!! The other four individuals were literally harassed and pushed by the faculty themselves to the point that they all withdrew from the program. It is with strong belief that I state this institution cares about their PANCE passing rate and the image of the institution more than actually teaching their students. For example; class of 2011, 14 people out of our 60 graduates in our class failed their boards!! That brings the percentage to an appalling 76% for the graduating class. Out of the actual class that was admitted for 2011? 63%! if these are not alarming statistics for the ARC, then I don't know what is.

 

If any of you have acceptances elsewhere, please keep these alarming statistics in mind and go elsewhere!! The level of disorganization and the biased grading system is above and beyond appauling!!

 

I am sorry to scare any of you, but these words are the truth and I personally would have loved it if there was someone who said this to me. frown.gif It was 2 years of pure hell, and if I could go back in time and go to another program where I really felt competent in medicine I would have done this without any hesitation. Take this news as you wish!

Plus, Chatham's first time PANCE pass rate is too low!!!!! Be aware that many Chatham new graduate students can not pass their PANCE at their first try.. good luck!!

 

The year before last they had a 100% pass rate. Last year's class was a fluke.
