Misinformation
Whilst understanding that applicants to our program want to try & find out any nuggets of information that they think might possibly help them to get into the MD program, as we have said before, there is a lot of misinformation around. People who were just admitted to the program may be well intentioned in […]

MED 2015 students, the $1000 acceptance deposit has been transferred to your tuition account and should be updated in your SSC Financial Summary.

Waitlist Movement
Great news for some of you! Today, we restored a number of applicants who were originally removed from the waitlist, back to their position on the waitlist.
