Woohoo!

Josh got into medical school! After only having one interview and no offers, we started getting worried that maybe he wouldn't get in this year. After doing a lot of research, he decided to apply to a school in the Caribbean, they interviewed him two weeks ago and called yesterday to tell him he's in! It's called Ross University, and it's on a little island called Dominica. The things we really like about it are that you're only there for a year and a half and then do all your training here in the U.S., the pass rates on the big test you have to take are really good, the facilities and technology there are awesome, and his counselor at BYU recommended it and said it was fully accredited. He still hasn't heard anything either way from about 9 schools, so he still could be accepted at one of those and if he was we would probably take it, but we would be really happy going here and it just feels good to know we will be going somewhere next year. We are a little nervous but mostly excited about the adventure this will be! And, let's face it, after looking at this for the past few months....

This looks pretty good....!
