Hello,
I have recently been accepted for pre-med 1 for the may semester. I would love to get to know some of you guys that are going in the same time. I have so many questions regarding what to take with me, how to arrange transportation to the island and other general qustions.

Any MUA students would like to offer some advice?
Please help.

Hi neesy, Congratulations. I had seen your posts earlier as well. I am also seeking admission for Premed1. I am very nervous about the whole process. Could you please share your Gpa / or clinical experience with me so I can get an idea about my chances but its still fully upto your discretion to share this information. If you want, you can pm me to keep it private.

I wish you Good luck for future and congrats once again.

Hey Neesy, thanks for starting this post, I was about to do the same this weekend if no one else had by that time. My name is Sandeep and I'm from Kansas City, KS, 24 y/o, and I have also been admitted to the pre med I program at MUA starting in May '06. Just sent in my deposit in today in fact. Hope this forum fills up a little before we get down there! I'll try to post every now and then! Good luck to everyone applying and already on the island/clincals.

Btw, I found the MUA student government website to be a great resource...they have all the sylabi (sp?), class schedules, dorm pics, and a list of stuff to bring and not to bring. The website's address I believe is http://www.sgamua.com

Hope this Helps!

I will also be joining the rest of you in Pre-med I this coming May. Im mixed between excited and nervous. Im 23 with a B.B.A. in Economics, this is going to be a career change for me. It was tough leaving a fortune 500 company, but in the end I know i will be doing something that is much more rewarding.

Im interested in maybe finding a place off campus, and looking into getter a car or scooter. If anyone has some leads, please do share. Look forward to meeting you all in May.

Congrats to all of you. I would recommend reading all the various posts here about cars, apartments, what to bring and what not to bring. Read all the info on MUA's website and the SGA's website. Within all of that you will find just about every kernel of info that you will need and will be able to make some informed decisions before coming down. Best of luck to you all and congrats once again.

Thank you guys for replying. I look forward to meeting you all in Nevis. Keep me posted on any new information.

Hey,

I am considering attending MUA. I got in..I just have to decide to accept MUA. So I thought I might introduce myself. I'm from NJ, I've completed a B.A. I'm 24, looking for a career change. Medicine has always been on my mind...but due to circumstances at the time, I ended up completing a BA. Anyway, if I do decide to come to MUA - I look forward to meeting you all. I'd love to hear about you guys.

Question: Do all of you have a science background? Or are the pre-med courses going to teach from introductory level?

Thanks,

Hi,
Congrats on being accepted to MUA.

You really don't need much science background and I am sure you have some highschool science, i.e, you know what Na and Cl symbols mean. I sure didn't have any background (engineering) when I started four years ago. I also started with pre-med and it helped me a lot. Lots of ppl do premed and waste the 8 months they are on the island. Spend this time wisely and you will do extremely well.

goodluck

i'll see you down there bright n early:-)
i'm going down a few days early, setup shop early n enjoy the proverbial quiet before the storm;-)
26, PA/NY right now, BAs in mgt, mkt, and psy. NO chem/bio classes at all, not even in high school (moved to US from UK). i did a LOT of volunteer work and read a lot on my own time.
take care to all, and to all a good night!
