Guru on the Go®

Last admissions season I rolled out a series of under-one-minute, stop-motion-animation videos for applicants. I’ve had several thousand views, and I even got a shout-out from the NRMP® itself. (They tweeted, saying they agreed with the advice in the clip, “NRMP® Ranking to Avoid a Spanking.”)
