Starting September 2008

[huydp]

Hello,
I was accepted for September 2008 semester. I have many questions but the most important is about the school dorm:
1 - How many will be in the dorm?
2 - How far is the dorm from school?
3 - Will there be special room for husband/wife students?

Thanks,
huydp

1. they are not 'dorms' as the traditional sense of what you might expect in University...these are houses...so depending on how many bedrooms/house...it might be 1 roommate - 4 roommates...everyone gets own room, share kitchen/livingroom

2. location, depends, changes each semester...i know that housing is shifting closer to the new campus next semester as the md4 batch starts to pack up and leave the island for good...but the school does provide free bus to and from school each day...so you will be told of the timing of that bus when you get to the island

3. talk to the school when you get to the island. the do make arrangements as such if you come a few weeks before the semester starts. so keep that in mind.

[huydp]

Hello Fry,
Thanks for the info, much appreciated. That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. My fiancee and I were accepted last week, she's most concerned with the dorm. We're from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nice to meet you.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have more questions for my new enrollment at Windsor:
1 - What is the passing rate for ECFMG?
2 - Does Windsor prepare us for that test?
3 - How good is USLME preparation at Windsor?
I'm just curious, not trying to put down WIndsor or anything. I'm new so just a little bit curious.
Thanks,
huydp

[Fry]

[windsorMD]

[huydp]

Hello,
This is my last set of questions:
1 - When does classes start in September? It wasn't mentioned during my interview.
2 - Is the school within walking distance of the nearby beaches, markets and Basseterre?
3 - Where approximately does the school located on the island map?
Thanks,

1) What's the minimum required GPA and MCAT score for Windsor for September 2008?
2) I'm from Canada and just wanted to know..is the standard of living similar to that in Canada or totally different? Do you guys always have hot water or does it become cold when you shower?

[HEAL4U]

Hey i got in as well for sept. just waiting for my letter in the mail. See u all soon:)

hi everyone, i'm from canada and i have a GPA of 3.125 (high school-grade 12). Is that good enough to get into windsor unversity school of medinice? I know i should have an under degree but I was just wondering. I also have experience working at my local care home??? I want to start in sept 2008 so could you please help me and tell me when i should send my application in.
thanks guys bye and hopefully all goes well

[huydp]

We just got our acceptance letter yesterday and already mailed the $500 deposit. We heard that school starts on September 12th. We will be on the island late August in order to adjust to the new lifestyle...probably rent a hotel before the school allow us to check into our room. My fiancee hopes that we can get a room to ourself with private bath.:)

[destiny_11]

I just want to know if a 3.125 average is good enough to get into windsor med school, also how big are the class sizes. Lastly what type of questions do they ask on the interview-I am very scared!!! please help me
By the way, friend already is working in the states- she went there straight from high school.

[MDIN2009]

Just wanted to give you a heads up....that many states require 60 undergrad credit hours for licensure . What state is you friend working in?

As far as your original question goes...your GPA should be fine....but in the end at admissions committee makes the decision.

[windsorMD]

I know a few WSOM students that got a residency in OHIO that went straight from high school and entered the Pre-Med/MD program.

Again, for the millionth time, this is not the same as obtaining licensure.

Hello,
Where on the island can I buy a good priced moped? Is moped a good form of transportation on the island?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,

MD1 student for Sept 08' here. Just wanted to say hi. I can't wait to start! I've been reading a lot of the threads on here, but still have a few questions.

-Anyone have any opinion as to if I should get a Mac or a PC (laptop) for school?
-How many days before class can I move into school housing? (realistically speaking)
-Does it take more than 2 days to setup internet access? Will I need bluetooth wireless or Ethernet cable?
-Are there pre-paid sim cards on the island for sale? cost?
-How much cash will I need to bring with me to school?

P.S. I am a very clean, quiet, studious female from New Jersey. I do like to play sports, go out in town and have fun when I can too! I saw there is an option for requesting roommates on the housing form. If anyone would like to get to know me and maybe room together please send me a private message!

Thanks a lot!

[MDIN2009]

Welcome to Windsor...and the forum..




-Anyone have any opinion as to if I should get a Mac or a PC (laptop) for school? Your choice...
-How many days before class can I move into school housing? (realistically speaking) 1 week
-Does it take more than 2 days to setup internet access? Will I need bluetooth wireless or Ethernet cable? If you go with the Cable they can do it in a couple of days...C&W takes some time....
-Are there pre-paid sim cards on the island for sale? cost? Yes..Bring your unlocked phone..35 EC
-How much cash will I need to bring with me to school? Bring your ATM card...and convert everything to EC as soon as you get a chance.



Thanks a lot!

Thanks Mod!

One more question on housing:

If I choose to stay on the island for that few weeks in between semesters, can I stay in the school housing? I would hate to think that every few months the students would need to pack up everything and move around...

P.S. Do you think I should start a new thread in regard to find a good roommate? or just repost it again later if I get no responds?

Thank you! :D

[windsorMD]

yes u will be able to stay in school housing. if you decide to go home during the semester break you do not have to move out and move in to a different place. you just leave your stuff in your place (don't leave valuables)

start a new thread if you like.

pm if you have any more questions.

[MDIN2009]

Post your roommate request in the classified forum please.

I don't think its a big deal. Does it say somewhere on your transcript that you were>? if not.. don't mention it! haha :twisted:

[destiny_11]

okay, it does not say on my transcript, but isn't there some type of file that goes around where you go with all your records?? I am very scared!!!! HELP

[KAS]

Anyone have any idea when classes start in Sept.?...

[taofeex]

hey ppl,
Am also for Sept 2008 , Pre MD.. see you there

[huydp]

I heard that we are starting in September 12. Please confirm if this is true.

[znazem]

Hi,

I'm a MD1 for Sept' 08, from Upstate, NY. As for, starting date? Not sure, but I heard Sept 12th as well.

[huydp]

I also heard that within a month there will be some form of loan available from Windsor. You guys hear anything about this yet? I really need a loan.

[destiny_11]

hey guys, for premed is the material you learn
the same as the material learnt in Bio 12 and Chem 12?
b/c on windsor's website it says for the students that took bio and chem 12 they do not need to take premed? please clairfy,

ya i also heard sept 12 was the first day

[znazem]

Yeah! I heard loans would be available, the office actually told me they'd tell me how to arrange for loans..

[KAS]

Anyone know what kind of food is served in the cafeteria? I would imagine a wide variety, since there are many student with different religious backgrounds that have strict diet restrictions?

[Future Dr.Dewar]

they have rice with potato curry, spaghetti, mac and cheese....And rice with bean curry..... Each on different days...they may change the menu though....

[ShinAkuma135]

ok, im not sure where to post this question but this is about the only place that gets responses. i've got a 3.4GPA (college) and roughly 60 hours. I've got volunteer experience from UT Southwestern Cancer Center (168 hours), and research also from UT Southwestern Medical Center....and over 5000 hours of community service hours. Can someone tell me my chances of getting in?

[windsorMD]

you should have no problem getting in at WSOM.

[destiny_11]

hello my fellow members, i asked a question but no one responded so i am going to post it again and please reply back b/c i am confused.

for premed is the material you learn
the same as the material learnt in Bio 12 and Chem 12?
b/c on windsor's website it says for the students that took bio and chem 12 they do not need to take premed?
and my second question is that i heard the sept semester starting on the 12th but the 12th is a friday?? confused

so someone please answer be for both questions:)

[ShinAkuma135]

thank you for the reply windorMD. also i was wondering if the dorms can be had for single person use? or we don't have a say in this and share? also, my electronics equipment is quite expensive so should i bring it to the school or buy cheaper stuff? ie. laptop alone is well over $4k...so should i get a cheaper notebook or something? and lastly, if we bring credit/debit cards to the island do the work or not?

[windsorMD]

you will not be able to get into the MD program without 1 year of Bio, Chemistry, and Physics at the undergraduate level.
You will have to start in Pre Med.

i do not know the current situation of dorms on the island as I finished there quite a while ago. i wouldnt recommend bringing expensive electronics to the island. credit cards work fine on the island. i am not sure about debit cards.

Hi, I am from NY. I recieved my Associate Degree in Biology with GPA of 3.3. I have done all of my sciences. I am recieving my B.A. Degree in Psychology at this semester, May 2008. The current GPA is 3.0 and its going up due to good grades I am recieving so far. I took MCAT twice already but I did poorly. Got 11 and then 12. I have volunteered a total of 380 hours in the hospital at different depatments.
Is there chance that I will get in the MD1 for Setember 2008?
If so, what is the deadline for September 2008?
Also, I will be able to work in NY?

[ShinAkuma135]

just wondering, is there a parking place for cars/bikes or we just park wherever? and is it safe to bring a good bike from US?....i really don't want to buy another bike.

I would suggest you apply early because spots tend to fill up fast. Overall I think you are a competitive applicant.

However, since you have poor MCAT scores, I think during medical school you should work on your test-taking skills and improve on your deficiencies by zoning in on your weaknesses. Your GPA reflects that you understand material well, but your MCAT portrays your inabiliity to apply that material. If you work on that, you will be able to succeed not only in medical school, but on future USMLE and other board exams as well.

Hope this helps.

[windsorMD]

there's a parking lot in the new campus. bring a lock so you can lock your bike to a tree or pole or whatever

[znazem]

I just got an email from the US office, saying classes start on the 15th and orientation is on the 19th? And, why does it say orientation is after classes start?

Anyone else hear this?

Quoted out of e-mail:
Classes start September 15, 2008 orientation is September 19, 2008 last day of classes for the break is December 23, 2008 you may arrive any time 1 week before classes begin.

[windsorMD]

orientation is a fresher's party for new students to meet with faculty and other students. its usually held at the end of the first week.

[znazem]

Ok thanks, but will there be anything before classes start to help me get settled in and do the registration and visa and etc?

[windsorMD]

yes u do that the first day of classes with the school admin

[huydp]

Hey guys, any status on loans for us?

[znazem]

All I was told, is that loans will be available for Sept semester, and that they signed with someone, but I have to wait until they will start processing loans..

[znazem]

So as of yet.. Nothing solid! Just some hearsay..

[huydp]

Thanks...if I found something "concrete" I will let you guys know. I hope they keep their word and within a month we should have some sort of loan. At least that's what the admin office told me last month.

[vancouverdoc1]

okay, it does not say on my transcript, but isn't there some type of file that goes around where you go with all your records?? I am very scared!!!! HELP

I don't think you have anything to worry about at all! and I dont think there is a "file". As long as your a good student, you have good grades and your motivated to keep up with the work load then apply and don't be bothered by it :p

[huydp]

Wow everyone is very enthusiastic like me:) But no money = no class = no good grades = no MD degree:) I think WE ALL need some form of loan right?

[MDIN2009]

You might find it surprising that 300+ kids do Basic Sciences at Windsor without having loans. Most come from working class parents and live on a budget. At some school the students borrow more than they need and do not realize that they will be swimming in it for the next 7-10+ years.

There are no loans until it's in writing...THE END!

[HEAL4U]

Hey i trying to book my ticket for the sept session and i plan to arrive late august like the 30th but what date should i book back?

[huydp]

Yeah I know that loan is bad to have, but I'm sure I'm not the only one worry about this. I'm still hopeful that we're getting some loan for september. We should let each other know ASAP. It's better not to worry about money while you're in school, your mind can focus on studying instead. If we are doctors, I'm sure we can pay back any loan right? :)

[destiny_11]

hey guys is it true that a person is going to come to this university who is related to someone famous or is a famous person??? I heard this and wasn't sure. if it is could you tell me who??please and thx

oh yea.......micheal jackson's nephew is coming september............man why u so bothered, ur mates are reading, and u checking out who's famous, ok everyone at windsor is related to a FAMOUS one.....yea why not, if you can afford about $15000/year while at windsor then your definitely FAMOUSSSSS:)

correction: that number is at over 550+ now

theres over 150 students in MD3
About 130 in MD4 alone

that's almost 300 right there

Hi,

Is it too late to apply for September 2008 as of MD 1? I just received my B.A. degree. Done all of my sciences. When is the last date to apply for September 2008? Two more questions, will I be able to work in New York? And, how many states have approved Windsor? I am saying this because I don't understand the Green Book system:confused:.

Thanks

[znazem]

Yes, you can still apply.

As for New York, from what I understand, you can't do over a few weeks of clinicals in New York, and you can get a license in New York once you've completed residency in another state, so in the end after clinicals, and residency.. Yeah, you should be able to go work in NY, and approved in? None. But approval only applies to clinicals I believe? But, Hey! Atleast is not banned in any states!

Someone else should confirm this, I'm not 100% sure..

[jen75MD]

I was just wondering how long does it take to hear from admissions after submitting your application documents?

[huydp]

I applied in mid February and got accepted in mid March (for the September semester). It took about a month for me, and the sooner you apply the better.

[sweeti2themax]

They replied to me in a week - but I bothered them through e-mail. I asked if they received my application in the e-mail twice and the woman called me the next day and scheduled my phone interview =)

[sweeti2themax]

you will not be able to get into the MD program without 1 year of Bio, Chemistry, and Physics at the undergraduate level.
You will have to start in Pre Med.

I got in without physics. its not a requirement.Neither is organic chem. Ypu just need General chem and bio.

[HEAL4U]

Can anyone tell me...when i should book my ticket back in Dec??? My rents are making me buy my ticket now before gas prices skyrocket!!!!

Hey all, is there anyone over here from Canada, who is starting Review course in Carbondale from september 2008? It would be nice to make a group in advance..may be benificial for all..hope to hear soon from some of them..

[ChinaMedStudent]

I apologize if this has been asked before but is WUSOM approved by Texas and California? And can any part of rotations or residency be done in those states?

[spikemd]

They replied to me in a week - but I bothered them through e-mail. I asked if they received my application in the e-mail twice and the woman called me the next day and scheduled my phone interview =)

I had my interview two weeks ago. I am in for September. I was told I would get my acceptance letter in the mail and email. I haven't received anything yet. I have called and emailed I keep being told it will be sent "tomorrow" did you guys have the same problem and how long did it take to get the letter. I'm starting to get skeptical.

[Baadshah]

Hi everyone, I just summited my complete application yesterday June 5, 2008. How long does it take for Admissions Committee to give me the respond and a phone interview?

Thanks,

[Baadshah]

I just graduated from Queens College with B.A. in Psychology with GPA of 3.266. I graduated from Kingsborough with A.S. in Biology with GPA of 3.333. I volunteered at Coney Island Hospital for approximately 382 hours in Occupitional Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Emergency Room. I took MCATs twice and got 11 and 12. I am a tutor, tutoring college level Chemistry and college level of Math.

Will these help me to get in the basic science program MD1?

Thanks,

[spikemd]

It took me about a week and few days before interview after submitting my application.

yea i think so...
but one question: how did you manage to get an 11, or 12???? thats like super duper low.......were you high that day or something?????

[Baadshah]

I was normal. I studied hard and when I took the exam, I felt confident about it. The scores, I don't know how they graded. But that's not an important for me as long as I can get in the Windsor Univesity. They say that MCAT is not required. Plus, the most important thing is that I believe in myself and I know for sure that I am going to be a great doctor. How? I have potential to believe myself. Yes, I hope to get in and then my track to become a great doctor will be smooth one. See you guys down there once I get in.

[jk_98]

hi guys, i am coming from canada with grade 12, and going to the premed program and then the md program at windsor. My question is will I be able to work at New York and in England or not and will I have to do some type of test to work there. My family is planning to move there that is why i am asking.
Also, I know that many med schools pay a student while he/she is doing the residency program, does windsor do that and if so how much per hour??
thanks

Good to see that you believe in yourself. It's pretty much all you got. If you did so poorly on the MCAT, the USMLE will not be easier, it will be much more difficult.

[windsorMD]

I am so sorry but I didn't understand the first two questions:eek:. I am indeed a hard worker, self determined and much more. I understand the issue of having poor grades on the MCAT twice, but that doesn't me that I can't do good on USMLE. It only tells me that I must and indeed must study harder and the best way to do it is start working and studying much earlier; perhaps in this summer. Yes I do trust and believe in myself or other wise I can't do anything.

Hi guys,
I am in the process of making travel plans for my arrival in September. I heard that one should arrive early in order to secure good housing. Keeping this in mind, what would be the best date to arrive?

[spikemd]

I'm in for September from Texas :)

[MDIN2009]

What part of Texas?

I'm in for September from Texas :)

[windsorMD]

arrive early to get the best housing/car opportunities

[windsorMD]

prospective & current windsor students should continue to post their experiences/issues on this forum

[jk_98]

Can someone please answer my questions from before, and do i need to send in a housing application or talking to ramesh is fine??

your chances of obtaining a residency in the US are very limited since you are a high school graduate. Most states require you to have undergraduate experience with the bare minimum of 1 year Biology, 1 year Chemistry Organic and Inorganic, Physics, and possibly some others. Windsor University is not yet NY approved. If you want to go to England you will have to write a PLAB examination.
Windsor does not pay you during residency. It is the hospital that you do a residency at that will pay you on a salary basis, not per hour.

Please do not post ignorant messages again. Do a search before.

[websniff]

really ignorant....."school to pay you".......havent heard of that before

[leo_rulz]

hi!
i am joing in sept 2008 batch .anybody coming from atlanta.

[booger eater]

Do we have to send a tuition check $4990 prior to receiving Basic Science Admission Package?

[Staedtler]

yeah, but what about for grocery shopping, etc. etc. is there a bus (other than the school service) and how infrequent? - thnx.

1. they are not 'dorms' as the traditional sense of what you might expect in University...these are houses...so depending on how many bedrooms/house...it might be 1 roommate - 4 roommates...everyone gets own room, share kitchen/livingroom

2. location, depends, changes each semester...i know that housing is shifting closer to the new campus next semester as the md4 batch starts to pack up and leave the island for good...but the school does provide free bus to and from school each day...so you will be told of the timing of that bus when you get to the island

3. talk to the school when you get to the island. the do make arrangements as such if you come a few weeks before the semester starts. so keep that in mind.

[FANJUM]

.................

[khindrii]

hey!
i'm starting in september '08 and my parents and i are arranging to come a little earlier to arrange everything for me...i wanted to know what hotels are closest to the campus...just so that it's a little easier for us to get around !!! can someone please get back to me !!! thanks and i can't wait to start !!!

has this happened to anyone else? what should i do? i really want to get this over with.

Hey guys..how do they decide about who will ur umm roomate will be?
i think its random, unless you find someone else who wants to be your roommate, then you can put their name on the housing application forms and they also do likewise with you

[Doctor Ali]

Hey guys and girls, I got accepted to Windsor University School of Medicine for September 2008. I paid for the seat deposit and also paid for the housing. Now I will like to know what is the next procedure?

1. If you can get your iphone unlock then it will might work.
2. I don't know about the printer, but I sugguest that you bring your laptop and the flash drive along with you. Then if you need to print, save it on the flash drive, and print it at the Windsor's library.

Hope this helps and see you all down there soon.

guys,if one is permanent resident USA, do you need travel document to travel to the island as student? and how many months can you be away from the states?

[kryptik]

guys,if one is permanent resident USA, do you need travel document to travel to the island as student? and how many months can you be away from the states?
yes you need traveling documents, you can be away from the states for 30 months if i remember correctly, dont quote me on it though, check the ins website for more accurate info on that.

[zack1]

how long does it take you guys to get travelling documents?? is a month enough?

[kryptik]

how long does it take you guys to get travelling documents?? is a month enough?
call the office and ask them, i have heard people say anywhere from 1month to 3months, call the office.

[Soon2BN_MD]

As a permanent resident you can travel to the islands without any other documentation. You only get 6 months at the time.. So what I do is go for the 4 months the semester takes then come back home for two weeks then go back.. you can travel as you please, as long as you make sure you are not out of the states for more than 6 month without returning.
However, what some permanent resident students do is send an application to the US immigration requesting permission to stay out of the country longer. But that is money and time wasted, at least for me, because after the semester is over, i cant wait to come home.

so you travel outside with just your greencard and no travel document, right? when you are coming back do you get problems with immigration? is your point of entry always Miami or that changes? thanks!

[Soon2BN_MD]

Thats all you need, 1. your green card and 2. your passport. It doesn't matter which airport you come in from. On my way back I have been in Puerto Rico, Newark NJ, Baltimore MD, Dulles DC, etc.
The only questions they always ask me are "how long you been outside the country and what is your occupation?" answers: four months and student...
The most trouble I have had in the airport has been moving all my bags from one station to another.. You'll be fine. If you still have any doubts just call your local airport. They will tell you the exact same thing I just did.

[n4ninad]

Anyone have the new schedule for the USMLE REVIEW semester starting at Carbondale(for sept.'08)?? When one should book the room at the royal USMLE center? Are the rooms on twin share basis or it's on us how to choose? What about the meals? One has to eat junk food daily at restaurants??Or the hotel has inbuilt restaurant or any other arrangements for food?
How early we are supposed to reach the hotel and will they allow us to live in the hotel 4-5 days before beginning of the regular schedule?And suppose the semester is beginning on 15th sept. should we pay for the hotel for September month for full month fares or they will charge only half?? And do we need to pay in advance for all the 4 months? or each month you need to keep paying for the next month. Those who have experience of carbondale please give us some information regarding this queries..

[RAVINDERDHIMAN]

1. If you can get your iphone unlock then it will might work.

[leo_rulz]

do we need a router for internet connection & will they provide us with beds in the rooms.
thankx

[shahzadi]

what types of cell phones are available at the islands? how much are they for? and where can I buy them in the island?

[MDIN2009]

Bring your own wireless router...and yes you will have beds. There is also running water on the island.

do we need a router for internet connection & will they provide us with beds in the rooms.
thankx

[MDIN2009]

You can get a phone on the island for 30-40 EC with sim. That runs about 10-15 bucks us. They are your simple Nokia or Mot phones ... if you have an unlocked tri band phone at home bring it down. Cable and wireless is the way to go...they have an office in downtown.

[shahzadi]

what is a tri band phone??? can I bring a unlocked sidekick??? do they have phones like sidekicks and blackberry with AIM on them but different companies???:confused:

[sweeti2themax]

Does Windsor inform you of when to pay the tuition fee. The lady I called - Lonna, said they send e-mails out for when to send it. Theres only one more month left before school starts, am I suppose to just guess when to send it?

[bboybetts]

I paid for 3 semesters ahead, for clinicals, so i cant answer this, but call them

[knowledge_eater]

200 all going to MD1 or does that include transfer students to other semesters?

I am taking transfer into 3rd .. and my 6th sense is indicating that you are transferring as well to 5th sem in carbondale right ?? there is one more person (may be more) who are taking transfer to 5th just look down to few more recent reply you will find it.

thats weird it says "to be able to post e-mail addresses your post count must be 20 or greater. you currently have 15 posts." thats a weird rule. anywho - im going to put spaces in between because they don't let me type the e-mail address. there r no actual spaces so write the e-mail address without the spaces.

Check your email because I have gotten mine in email. So check it and if you still didnt get it then either wait or either call them up and ask them how much you have to pay..:):):):):):)

[shahzadi]

what is a tri band phone??? can I bring a unlocked sidekick??? do they have phones like sidekicks and blackberry with AIM on them but different companies???:confused:

[ShinAkuma135]

sidekick works. its a world phone, so you should have no problems. if you get another phone just see if it mentions how many frequencies it supports (ex: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz), and if it supports 3 out of the 4 it should work just fine.

[ShinAkuma135]

and i believe someone else here told me the prepaid phones over there are like the old regular nokia ones, so im guessing those don't have aim.

I guess if you have a US visa it wouldn't be a problem. Confirm it though. Try calling up the St.Kitts immigration and check with them ...

hello all =) theres a month left until school starts - i hear physio is the toughest first semester. Did you guys start reading any books before you start the semester? or is that a waste of time and I should just relax before I come to the island.


Actually i thought Anatomy was harder(i hate memorizing stuff like muscle names etc) than Physiology .. Depends on individual preference i guess... I would suggest that you relax before the semester starts... Reading books is not a waste of time but this is the time to enjoy with your family.... Goodluck..

Im sure someone already asked this question, but it was in 05... so i was wondering if someone can help me out. Frigate Bay.. is that a hotel or a dormitory? Because when i google it, it seems like a resort.. so im unsure. Also, if it is a dorm, how early do you suggest i arrive in order to get it, from what i read, it seems like the best dorming option. I am booking my flight for Sept 9th. Is that far enough in advance? Thanks so much!

Coming early is a wise choice....

i am accepted for sept 08, but i read that thing about doing the 2 years (60-80 credits) of undergrad and i kinda wanna do that now. so would i be able to transfer my acceptance and $500 deposit to may 2009? i dont really care about the money so much as the acceptance part.

[Future Dr.Dewar]

lol oh dear. thats what im afraid of - getting myself nervous before classes even start. I want to keep my sanity before I reach the island. By the way, I'm coming from NY also =)
