Any other information you want to share?

Besides the ridiculous tuition, this program also has a ridiculous testing schedule. Roughly 2 exams a week throughout each quarter. Due to the fast pace, we never had the opportunity to spend a good amount of time with any of the material. There also seems to be a more is the better mentality with some of the courses, where they add in a good amount of unnecessary or low-yield information. I recently heard about 1/3 of the class of 2025 were so unprepared they had to delay taking their boards. The osteopathic course and 2nd-year clinical course are highly unorganized, known to have the worst online lectures, and always find ways to waste our time through their workshops/labs. Lastly, there is an obsession with GPA at this school that creates a high-stress environment.
