“DeVry, which has two for-profit medical schools in the Caribbean, is accepting hundreds of students who were rejected by U.S. medical colleges. These students amass more debt than their U.S. counterparts — a median of $253,072 in June 2012 at AUC versus $170,000 for 2012 graduates of U.S. medical schools.”

“Despite their high prices and promises of good jobs, more than a dozen of the Bay Area’s most expensive trade schools graduate fewer than half of their students, report alarming rates of students defaulting on their loans — or both.”
