Students have the opportunity to develop basic learning skills in the context of one of their major academic course. The preparation includes a three hour diagnostic test and a questionnaire. The data is computer-analyzed and each student receives a customized study plan that assesses strengths and weaknesses and suggests a study timeline. The preparation also include study strategies, test taking hints, diagnostic exam with computer assisted feedback, individual study plan and practice questions with explanations. Almost all the scholarships are need based, with eligibility based on family circumstances.
Medical students tend to rely heavily on loans to help finance their education.
However, the average debt is rising every year. Students are encouraged to budget and plan their finances carefully, so they do not have to borrow the full cost of their education. An optional application form for aid is also available. Application materials are available from the Financial Aid Office in January. Students do not need to wait to be admitted before filing for financial aid.
