Medical School: A Non-Traditional Approach

http://4medschool.blogspot.com

On November 20, 2008 I received word that I was granted acceptance into Ross University School of Medicine. As I write this, I'm 26 years old and it's been a long time coming. I'm so appreciative and proud of what I've accomplished these past 6 years to get me to where I am today. These recent years have been interesting to say the least and I can only imagine how interesting the next 4 years will be. This is my first hand account through medical school. My name is Jonathan.
