I've been accepted to the Sep 08 pre-med 1 session - 20/f/ny

I was wondering if anyone could recommend which would be better, both cost and efficiency wise - the ferry from St. Kitts or the plane?

I would say just fly directly to nevis. I mean it sounds like it s ganna be a hastle. Does anyone know how big our class going to be?

Hey guys....join the MUA Sept'08 group on facebook and lets get to know each other before we head down to the island.

My name is Nazila. I'm starting pre-med on sep 08 and I'm from Toronto

hey...just got accepted to premed in sept 08....im from toronto also...im down to have a little toronto meet before hand...

Hey,
Why are u doing your pre-meds in the carribbean. Do you have a better chance of getting into carribbean med schools if u do your pre-med there.
I am considering carribbean med schools in the future and I am curious.

well...im gunna do it there because I just graduated from uni this year and dont feel like waisting another year doing all the courses here and then taking the chance of applying and not getting in...but if you do it there, and you get an overall GPA of 3/70% (i think it is) you automatically get put in med school...i just think its a better chance of getting in..plus I dont have the best of grades therefore doing pre-med there is another way around to get in with, my stellar grades..lol

Hey Medman05,
What uni did you go to and what did u study? How much is the pre-med going to cost. I see u are from Toronto just like me. How are u going to fund your academics?Did you get any loan i.e, osap?

in order to advance from pre-med to med you need a 3.0 which is an 80%. Hope you have a good Chemistry backround for example in Pre-med one; 6 out of 17 people got a 70 and below on the last exam (exam six) and on exams 3 and 4, seven people got under seventy (out of 18). Under seventy is failing. There is no curve. FYI

hey nelly...actually when I talked to Robert McKean he said that a 3.0 was a 70...and your overall average needs to be 70 in order to move one from pre-med to med....

and for funmilayo: I went to yorku...just graduating this summer in health and society... all of premed (2 semesters) will cost around 17000 to 20000 including tuition, dorms, food and some missilaneous things (possible airline tickets)...im estimating...well to be honust, my dad is helping me for the first couple of semesters (considering I get in to med..lol..) and then I will be applying for loans where ever I can after that...lol
