Tom was outstanding. He was not just very informative on the interview process, but also very encouraging and caring.

Just want to give you an update about my MSTP admission progress and take this opportunity to thank Dr. Wesley Hsu, Dr. Greg Goldmakher, Dr. Ramin Rafie, and Dr. Wayne Shelton for all their help.

Thanks," K, Maryland
