Nada

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would have fallen in love with this school and that other schools are fool of CRAP when they report 100% USMLE pass rates. It turns out that some schools do not allow certain students to take the boards unless they do well on a ''pre-test'' that the school gives out. If they do not do well, the student is not allowed to take the test. I found that very interesting.
