An e-mail from an old student
I am currently writing you from the Caribbean island of Dominica, where I am taking a break from Medical Biochemistry. I was accepted almost immediately to Ross University, and took it. I can not thank you enough for your help in getting me here. I’ll spend the next year and a half here on Dominica, and then return to the states to do my rotations.
Seriously, you were fantastic. They were impressed with my credentials and my recommendations and offered me a spot one week after the interview. Faced with transplanting my family and having to face another year on a wait list, I chose the former. [SNIP] Anyway, my stories from your class are gaining notariety, and I even had my now-useless cell-phone to show everyone the pictures I took the day you handcuffed everyone.
[SNIP] now I can show this school how well I can handle the subject matter. Gross Anatomy is really easy so far, and they take a whole year to do what I had to accomplish in a single semester. I plan on knocking the USMLE I out of the park on the first try,
William The Coroner's Forensic Files 
“The day you handcuffed everyone.” ???
Hmmm? Inquiring minds would like to know.

now that I’m out of Evil Grad School and am no longer so bitter and depressed, I actually find myself wondering how cool it would be to attend your grad school.
(Don’t worry, it’s only a teeny, tiny little fantasy.)
But speaking of handcuffs, I was going through security at the Department of the Interior today… it turns out the reason why I ALWAYS have to take off my belt and shoes is because I make security guards nervous. I don’t know how I do it (being 5’6″, female, blond, and blue-eyed) but it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME.
It happened at the USDA building, at the GSA building, and at Main Interior.
So when I read the thing about handcuffs, I was all like, man, so glad I wasn’t there for that! LOL

Yeah–it’s really hard when you have to find enough pockets for a dozen pair. I wear a vested suit that day.

Ross University tends to have better views that most med schools I think. Though they should definitely get out of Portsmouth and take a trip to Scotts Head. There are a lot of spectacular natural sites to see too. Diablotin is near Portsmouth and has a spectacular view.

If it makes you feel any better, I get waay too many hits from “raising chincillas”….
