    How do we SHIP stuff from here to there?

    Here's another idea... and what I'm doing... So I'm going from CA to OH, and I found a company called ABF UPack Moving. Their web site is: ABF UPack. The way they work is that they are commercail freight shipper, and they let you buy space on their trucks. The catch is that you have to load...

    Those funny little questions

    Those questions are there for you to tell the adcom what makes you different than their other applicants. I think the strategy is to focus on a POSITIVE experience you've had that not many other people would have. Take me for example: I was a firefighter trainee with my school's fire dept. I...

    Is it worth applying with a 21 on the MCAT?!?!

    I agree with Wahoo and lola too. Definitely retake it. Also, I don't think you should apply at all with that score. Your best chance at getting in is on your first try, so try and make the most of it.

    Anyone interested in getting paid to go to medical school!

    I don't know about USUHS, but I had my HPSP physical this spring, and I can tell you that the Army is pretty sticky about asthma and other health problems. That said, though, I think depending on your job (in our case, doctors), there are waivers you can get to get around some of these issues...

    is emergency medicine considered primary care?

    I don't know much about the NY area, seeing as I'm from CA, but I believe that there is a general shortage of FP and IM docs nationwide. I haven't heard of such nationwide shortages in OB/GYN or Peds. Perhaps someone from the NY area can help us out with this one?

    is emergency medicine considered primary care?

    I haven't heard yet of EM being classified as a primary care specialty, and I'm not sure it should be. I think the major difference between it and the other primary care specialties is the issue of continuity of care. While EM docs see a LOT of primary care type problems, they don't follow...

    Pictures for secondaries

    Some 1hour photo places do passport photos pretty cheap too. You might have to shop around a bit.

    Opinions on Chicago Schools

    Well, if you want to be near the city, count Finch out. Its actually about an hour (that was how long it took me to get from Midway Airport) out in the boonies. You do go into the city for 3rd and 4th years, but that's still 2 years out in the middle of nowhere, and it sounds like you aren't...
