“ I applied and was accepted to medical school. Without Bellevue University I would have never been able to accomplish this and I would not be getting ready to graduate. I received the same level of education from Bellevue University as did my current medical school classmates who attended Division I schools with class sizes in the hundreds and who paid higher tuition. ”
