"All of the faculty at the school are highly invested in the success of the new student body. The faculty-to-student ratio is incredible, and there will be far more resources available then anyone could ever fully take advantage of. Partnerships have already been developed with entities around LA for research, service, clinical experience, and joint degrees. Admissions is very invested in building a diverse class. The curriculum has been designed with feedback from all levels of medical education to best prepare you to impress in clerkships and residency. Very generous financial aid."
