    -Brandyn P., '16

    "Thank you so much for everything. I have felt much more prepared for all of this because of all your classes and advice! It was funny, during my interview they asked me 7 science questions and 6/7 of the questions were straight from a forensics test of Yours!"
    -Sierra S., '17
