Prague 2nd Faculty Of Medicine

[jaffy]

hi, is anyone else thinking of going to prague from sep 2007?
has anyone heard anything about the entrance exam

[Zut Alors!]

I'm applying for First Faculty.

The entrance exam should be quite easy. E-mail Viera and she'll send you all the info you need (that is, assuming you're in the US). If not, e-mail whomever your rep is.

yeh in the UK my application is being processed through 'read medicine', i don't knwo about the 1st faculty but i've heard that the entrance exam for the 2nd faculty is pretty tough. saying that though a LOT of people do get through so i'm not too sure

[Zut Alors!]

Matters on your background too, I suppose. Lots of kids straight out of high school take it and get in. Personally, I've taken Bio/Chem/Physics at the university level (I'm 21 already), and I've perused the sample questions; looks pretty much like stuff you learned in HS.

Why

[Zut Alors!]

I forgot to add, I wouldn't think the 2nd Faculty's test would be anymore difficult or easy than the 1st or 3rd's test.

Which leads me to ask, why choose 2nd Faculty over the 1st? Does it have something to do with licensing in the UK? At least in the US, the 1st Faculty is the best way to go because the program is the only one in the CR approved in all 50 states.

I'll tell one reason to pick a particular faculty:

It appears that by checking on FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov) that only the 3rd faculty is technically approved for dispensing Title IV aid.

Check it out.
