The school only has 500 physicians and specialists that teach students but charges students at around $52,242. Where did the money go?

Ranked at 25 for U.S. News research but down at 49 for U.S. news primary care rank, this controversial school is part of the most expensive yet popular school in United States. The controversy in 2003 was quite shallow and only revolves around the new logo launched but in 2006, quality was already in question, where the logo again came in as a controversy.

The logo was changed and a public announcement stated that the school lost its history and traditions.
