They call you which is really nice. The coolest thing about this school was that the AMA visited them a couple years back to find out why their students perform better than most MD students on the USMLE...also, the anatomy dept. is in the top 1% of all med schools and the director of the anatomy dept. actually writes questions for the USMLE. Cool, eh?!" Report Response
