    Hi! Yes, they had that PN policy when I was there. And we didn't understand why we weren't offered FPH til the VERY end. Like I said before, a lot has changed since we were there. And for the sake...

    Hi Cheri, Actually, it didn't start rough. It just ended that way due to the clinical issue. I had a GPA of 3.85 or 3.8 something after 1st semester. And I loved DCN at that point. At the time...
