What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000815) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 42 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.1★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for United States of America yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

DEANA BASS

I was in the hospital for 1 week for brain ? testing. The nurses were very nice and even came to me to see if I needed anything. I was on camera 24 hours a day. I had a lot of fun with the dog that came and visited me, the dog gave a hard time when it was time to go. …

Let’s call it what it is: UC Davis churns out a lot of over-polished, under-tested pre-meds. Their applications look airtight — GPA, shadowing hours, research blurb, club titles — the standard pre-med trophy shelf. But what’s on paper at …

Jon O

Terrible experience at USC. Doctors are scammers and will recommend treatments that are not even needed. Not to mention that they bill you as a hospital and not a clinic. Go to Elite Medical and see Dr.Kashani.

My husband and myself have both been patient's of Dr. Ginsberg. USC Keck he and his team are the best, you receive real 1st class care. Norris and Keck hospital's are both the best in health care.
