the school has it's faults. i have been frustrated with them on many occasions. many people have been upset with their lack of involvement with our clinical rotations. man, i wouldn't have it any other way. i've set up almost all my own rotations, and they've been incredible. i've been to 4 different states by now, and i've been at some amazing institutions (NIH was the best, i got to know a lot of people from johns hopkins, and even got a letter of recommendation from one of them). now i'm in texas. and the best part is... no gaps in my training. no lost 2 weeks here, or 4 weeks there, just straight through. i love it. i'll graduate in 3 years, 4 months, 10 semesters, and no time lost. i have 4 letters of recommendation (though i did do some rotations in mexico, which i didn't mind because i speak spanish) from docs in the US, 2 from program directors, i beat the US med school average on all my boards, and i'm almost done. the school could do better about getting your loan money to you on time. that was frustrating. but at least we still have TERI, a lot of schools have lost it. i'm very grateful about that one thing. i'm still worried for the upcoming students, because i've paid up all semesters now. so i hope students behind me still have TERI in the future.
