which class to apply

[Jess77]

Hi guys. I don't have strong bio background ( I have a degree in civil engineering), and I am little bit worry about the bio course load in med school. In general speaking, among Jan, May, and Aug class, which one is the most difficult and the easiest to get in? Which one has the most students? And which one has the most competitive student body? any suggestion would be greatly appreciated . . .

Just apply as soon as you feel confident in doing so, and ask for your favorite semester to start. Saba will place you in a less competitive semester if necessary. You only get what you ask for!

Like Wolf says. Apply for the semester you would most like to enter, but be ready to go into any and you should be fine.

Though classes entering at various times may have different entering stats, the proof is in the pudding. There is no curve you have to "beat" in order to pass (though professors generally do curve tests and grades a bit), so you really don't have to worry too much about being washed out by a strong class mean. As for gunners and generally difficult people, there are always a couple in every class (except for mine :roll: ). They know no season.

Go ahead and apply. If you have a degree in CE, I'm pretty sure you can cut it in medical school.

Best of Luck!

Thanks, Wolf and Researchingguy! I felt lot better after reading your postings. one more question: how the 3 semester system affects the USMLE I and matching?
