If you fail one or two classes, then you're eligible to repeat the semester. Failing three or more classes results in a dismissal from Ross.<BR/><BR/>Since you MUST repeat at least three courses to remain a "full time" student, repeaters retake the one class they failed plus two other classes they had originally passed. Or if a repeater failed two courses, then they retake those two plus another course they had originally passed. <BR/><BR/>So, just because a student that repeats 4 classes does not mean that they failed all four classes. They repeat the one or two classes they failed and then they repeat other classes they had originally passed.<BR/><BR/>Does that make sense?? I know it sounds confusing. If it still doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to clarify it some more.<BR/><BR/>So, if you find yourself in a situation where you failed more than two classes, unfortunately, Ross will NOT let you repeat. I know people have tried to appeal this but I have never heard of Ross granting someone's appeal and letting them come back. However, it doesn't hurt to try. Perhaps if you have an EXTREMELY valid reason for failing more than two classes, then maybe they'll consider granting your appeal? <BR/><BR/>So, in my honest opinion, you should prepare yourself for a dismissal from Ross. If this happens, please don't lose hope. Often, people that are dismissed from Ross apply and get accepted to AUA (or AUC... I'm not sure which one). The point is, don't give up! You can always transfer to another Caribbean Medical School and start fresh.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!!M &amp; Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05756161406662847295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203542391773710405.post-15382217236209787842008-08-29T14:50:00.000-04:002008-08-29T14:50:00.000-04:002008-08-29T14:50:00.000-04:00You mentioned that there are people who are repeating taking 4 classes...is that possible? If you fail 4 classes..i know that&#39;s a lot..but due to certain circumstances..what are the chances that Ross will allow you to repeat or retake the first semester? I received an email from Dr. LaVille stating my appeal should now be directed to Dr. Myers...I&#39;m really scared and confused because I know I messed up but I know I can do this and succeed. Any advice at all&gt;?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203542391773710405.post-4574406606293269082008-07-18T21:44:00.000-04:002008-07-18T21:44:00.000-04:002008-07-18T21:44:00.000-04:00Thank you for your information. I understand how it feels after a terrible semester (I'm a student going in January of 2009). As for checking grades I second this so that if there is an error (since we are all humans after all) that it be taken care of. Who knows I might be seeing you on the island (and the first semester response to cadavers was priceless but having seen dissections in prior studying I've prepped myself for them)dark_magehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10977278052549522020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203542391773710405.post-65182276282409868792008-07-18T09:16:00.000-04:002008-07-18T09:16:00.000-04:002008-07-18T09:16:00.000-04:00Just dropping in to say &quot;hi.&quot; I hope everything is going great for you guys over there &amp; I&#39;m glad to hear you&#39;re kicking ass in your classes this semester.

My favorite part was "She was confused as to why I was in my scrubs. I was confused as to why she was confused." <BR/>~ stereotypical "Ross momment". <BR/><BR/>By the way, I just took your advice and graded my Mini 2 against Ross' Answer sheet. Any chance they sent out the wrong answers? No? Looks like you'll have my company again next semester...Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203542391773710405.post-86839304105342025732008-07-15T23:29:00.000-04:002008-07-15T23:29:00.000-04:002008-07-15T23:29:00.000-04:00I'm so proud of you!!
