<p>“By keeping the enrollment small, our program advisors will be able to work one-on-one with each student to design a customized curriculum that incorporates a doctor/student mentorship in a specialty of interest, research lectures and seminars in targeted subjects, counseling throughout the medical school application process, and personalized plans for how best to utilize the “glide year” – the period between acceptance to medical school in the fall and entry the following fall,” said Fornadel.</p>

<p>Tuition and fees for the 2006-2007 academic year are $18,000 for Virginia residents and $23,000 for out-of-state residents. The inaugural class of 2006-2007 comprises 19 students (11 from out of state), selected from a pool of 68 applicants. Class size will remain between 20 and 25 for the first few years of the program. </p>

<p>The incoming cohort’s average GPA is 3.5 (the same for in-state and for out of state students) with undergraduate degrees from schools such as Dartmouth College, Duke University, and the University of California, Berkeley.</p>
