my anatomy class only lasted eight weeks, so we had an hour of lecture and 3 hours of lab every day (in addition to embryology lectures, radiology lectures, clinical correlations, and review sessions). This meant we covered a lot of material really quickly, but since we didn't have any other...

All out of state students at the University of Minnesota get a scholarship that brings their tuition to in state rates. no one pays the "out of state" rate. i think it's just a made-up number.

at my school, a group of second year students called the knowledge co-op prepares a complete practice practical two days before all our exams. they go through and tag the structures that were tagged on last year's corresponding practical. we had our second practice practical last night (the...

When I was an undergrad, I worked as a research assistant to an MD/PhD student who was totally blind. he had a dog and everything. I'm not quite sure exactly how he got through stuff like anatomy and histo and stuff, but he took those classes. He was also number one in his class after the...

I applied last year with a 3.35 and a >30 MCAT, and I got into 3 schools. I didn't even have the upward trend your describe (or early grades as low as yours, though either). Give it a shot. It's possible; it depends on the rest of your application.

the pic I sent to med schools had me looking super scrubby (long unkempt hair) on a swiss mountaintop with a helicopter behind me. I had a fat toothy smile and a big thumbs-up for the camera. I got into 3 schools. I say forget stiff portraits; shw some personality!

Hey. Did any of y'all get your financial aid offers this weekend? I am confused. On mine it says aid offered is up to the cost of attendance (for fall and spring), but below that, it lists an EFC of like $23,000. It isn't real clear how much they're giving me, and I don't have $23,000...

At minnesota, parking anywhere the med school costs between 2 and 6 dollars per hour. I don't theink students can get parking passes, either, so if your school has parking, consider yourself lucky.

I play the guitar and drums in some bands. I like to veg out in front of the ps2 or gamecube for hours (days?) at a time. I like to toss a few rounds of disc golf every now and again. I also like to ski, rock climb, and scuba dive.

Call the student affairs office. They might have ideas. Also, it might be kind of late to find affordable (with regard to the allotted housing budget) housing that close to campus, especially if you plan to live alone in a 1 bedroom. I'm living in uptown in a house with my brother and his...

Does anybody have any idea what kind of class/lab hours we're looking at with the new curriculum? I've seen last year's schedule, and it doesn't look bad, but it'll have to be completely different next year, with anatomy in that 7-week block. Are we going to have like 4 hours of lecture and 4...

if you're going to cut and paste, make sure you use HTML formatting, especially for paragraphs. Otherwise, med schools will have to read your essay as one giant paragraph, and that is annoying enough to reject you right off the bat.
