i think starting in pre-med I is good for those who either dont have the best grades in the basic sciences or havent been in school in quite a while.. it is only a few months extra and it seems like they give u a good foundation to begin the basic sciences.. the classes are also taught by the basic sciences professors so i hear, and it gives u time to get used to the island life, being away from home etc..

congrats to all of those who were accepted!!!
