You know...as a third year heading into clinics and soon externships, I'm not taking any risks with faculty finding out I'm telling others not to attend my own school, so yes, I made a new account. And no, those other posts were not me, lol, although one of them only says "cxb"?
As for my grades, you get out what you put into pretty much any school. That's true for Barry too, and I'm very "middle of the pack", which I'm okay with. I'm above 3.0 and I'll admit I'm very happy with that even if others are much higher (and some much lower). It's pointless to say these things though, since I can't prove them and I'm sure you'll call me me a liar and insult me just because I'm voicing opinions you don't agree with. (hey, maybe you should apply to work at Barry!!)
The problem with Barry isn't grades. It's how they -will- treat you and the bad facilities. One of the favorite sayings my class has is "Barry Cares"
You can get grades at any school if you put your mind to it. But if you really want to go somewhere where the Anatomy professor shuts down the whole lab, which was scheduled to be open lab for students to study, for the entire week before a practical (
literally because one student told her that a TA taught her something different from what Dr. Singh said was correct) then by all means, apply to Barry. This wasn't an isolated incident by any means.
Having told two of my friends who attend MD schools how our classes are run they are all appalled and in disbelief. Say what you guys want about my opinion, but the way the faculty treats students is a matter of record. Apply at your own risk.
P.S. I really like your comment "stop whining". Very constructive and well thought out. I thought this was a thread for feedback? Maybe we only accept positive things and try to ignore the bad. Well I'm sorry for being such a "negative nancy"
A little bit of bright light: Second year here was better, but unless other schools are whipping you, I still recommend against this school.
