i felt like i had a lot of resp phys on my test....very little respiratory path, but a lot of phys and a moderate amount of pathophys. DEFINITELY know the volumes/capacities, like someone else said.

Honorable mention: Lippincott Pharm, Underground Clinical Vignettes, Q Book, Netter 10. HY Cell and Molec Bio (i didn't use it but wish i had, although it STILL would not have helped for many of the ridiculous cell and molec questions i had on my test - the only way i would have gotten...

i agree with whoever said to study molecular bio....also study cell bio....those topics are NOT covered well at all in first aid, and i (and quite a few people i talked to) said they did not feel prepared for all the cell and molecular bio that appeared on their tests. i think that if i had...

i don't really read sdn too much anymore, but i always laugh at the posts by the accepted-yet-misguided premeds who ask what they should study over the summer before M1 year. clearly, they don't realize that this is time wasted on studying that they'll never get back. there's plenty of...

...either that, or all those med schools need to stop working their students so hard so that they can spend all day on SDN.... :p

To IrishOarsman: That's it. Now you HAVE to come to umich, simply because I want to see you try to defend your pansy irish ass at one of the bars here using nothing but....pilates?! :laugh: Seriously, though, there's nothing not to like about umich and Ann Arbor. As a first year...

hmm...i only studied the last few weeks leading up to the exam....and even then, i had classes and finals to study for. i'd say i put in a few good days of 8-5 studying, and studied sporadically for the rest of those few weeks. i think you are best prepared if you learn the material in...

Hey guys, the '03 matchlist is posted here: http://www.umich.edu/~umedstud/reports.html Not having gone through the residency application process myself yet, I don't know for sure whether the arguments made on interview feedback are necessarily true. All I know is that Michigan is...

I also recommend taking as many AP classes in high school as possible. I got credit for Calc I and II from my AP test, so I could take Calc III and Differential Equations freshman year of college, which were required for my biochem major. It was nice to get the math out of the way early...

Amen! I too am no stranger to all-nighters. Sometimes, I am just behind in my studying and need the extra time, but other times I know the material just fine, and would probably do well on the test the next day, but I PREFER to take the exta 8 or so hours to go over it again and as someone...

hey....don't sweat it if you didn't get the MSU secondary. the same thing happened to me when i applied two years ago. I was in-state, applied early, had good numbers (considerably above their averages) and i was put on hold for a secondary. I finally got one in like, March, but was...

2 things for you: 1. don't sweat it if you don't get a 4.0; most of us who made it to medical school sure as heck didn't....in fact, some of us have been known to have GPAs as low as <gasp> 3.5 or even LOWER! Shocking! 2. my philosophy in undergrad was always, "if i can't make it...

Congratulations on your acceptance! Glad to hear you're coming to umich. I'm an M2 right now, so my opinions probably aren't as valid as whatever these first year kids are saying, because they're living the new curriculum, but I can give you my perspective on things if you want. Basically...

I'm sorry but SP, your class IS the whiniest class in the whole school. :) And your post just proved it, whiney. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: hahahaha.....that's what you think..... anyway, i hate doing all-nighters that involve caffeine. it may keep you up for a few hours but you feel gross the next day, when you actually have to perform under pressure. so i usually don't use anything. if you feel...
