Here's the letter that triggered all the excitement.
His father called Stan from California this afternoon after getting the news. Andy's grandma has been saying a prayer every day.
Dear Andrew Dang:

Our clinical presentation based curriculum places the patient at the center of the learning process and emphasizes the integration of basic and clinical sciences. Encompassing our educational program is the focus we place on values - those that embody the core nature of care for human life. Our students learn to lead with integrity in the service of humanity while providing holistic and compassionate care.

Additionally, we want to inform you that the annual White Coating Ceremony for all first year medical students and your families will tentatively be held on July 30, 2016 which is the last day of orientation. This is a momentous occasion and will be the ceremony when you will receive your first white coat - the symbol of what it means to be a physician. You will learn more about this at the special event.
