I'm taking my WREB at USC in August, and I'm looking at three different patient locator services. Lu Lau seems to be a big operation, and one of my classmates used them for his NERB in Las Vegas this year. He had a very smooth experience with them. The other two I'm looking at are Western...

Residency for instate tuition can be tricky- most states want you to live there for a year without going to school before they charge you as a resident. As far as the safety net programs, as long as you have an address in the state and are low income, you will qualify. WIC is great- they will...

My kids are older- my youngest is 9. I spend evenings with them, and most of one weekend day. It's very doable for me, but I do stay up late to study. There are several parents of young kids and babies in my class. The moms have extended family living in their homes. Two of my classmates have...

At UW we take NBDE1 after first year.

Do you have particular books to recommend?

I love this! Social skills are important, but if it's just a veneer, people can feel that and they won't trust you.

Run your own background check with the state patrol in Florida. It should be easy to do- just go to their website and download a form to send with a fee, most likely. If you were under 18, I think the chances of that being found are nil. If you were an adult, you may want to double check the...

I really want to apply for this scholarship, but the only thing holding me back is my family. If it were just me, I'd be up for spending a few years in rural Montana or inner city Chicago, or whatever. But I have a spouse and kids to think about. There's a limit to how far into the boondocks you...

How do you convert PowerPoint to PDF?

I'm an undergrad, but fwiw I use notetaker HD on my IPad for all my notes. I can't download powerpoints, tho.

It seems like a nonsensical question, maybe even a troll question, because no-one wants to talk about race. But depending on where you practice, I think that race, or your immigrant status, could have an impact on how much money you make and how you want to approach your business. Here in the...
