Since the school offers the options of entering January or August is there a difference???? Is there a difference in regards to the residency match??? If you start in January does that mean that you have to wait for the match??? If so what do people do??? (loans, school etc...) I am trying to see the pros and cons of starting in January vs. August. One more question, if the fifth pathway route is closed then what is the point of having the requirements for the international program???? If I am not mistaken the national program doesn't require them and the students go straight from high school??? Anyone know what will happen with the requirements???? ( I wish I could have gone there straight from high school even if it was 6 yrs!)
