Thread: Best Memories at RUSOM

Not much really...just a few scant memories, usually post-mini exam. But I think the BEST part was the day I left the island after completing 4th semester...that seriously had to be one of the best, early days of my life (esp since I haven't had a child yet or, if some would even concur, the day you get married to the one you love, etc), but yeah, that day I left was pretty high up there.

Cuando2,
Are you currently doing your clinicals right now? Internship? Residency? How is that going for you?

I am in residency, and it is going well. Once you are free from Ross, you will feel so much better. You will not have trouble finding a residency either, so don't worry about not making it.

the friendsI made...if you find good, hard-working people who can travel with you through the stress...life is a lot easier.

Nothing tops skipping the 3rd sem final back in summer 07 due to an incoming hurricane. Craziest 48 hours of my life hands down.

That WAS awesome! I was like, yeah taking the average and I'm outty! I managed to get on a plane 2 days early being on stand-by for 10 hours! I'd also have to agree about the day I left but honestly a great deal of pride came from that day as well, knowing that I had made it through it all. Makes you feel like you can do anything.

Also, I loved being involved in the campus! I ran a couple clubs during my time there and was part of SGA - while it probably won't matter for my applications or anything, it was so worth it! To have the chance to make a difference and help time go by a little faster was something I was so very glad to do!

How bad is it, dear lord! I seriously am having second thoughts on applying after reading this. (MUA, SMU, SEUSOM???)

oh whatever mellsworth....if u are having seconds thoughts after thousands made it and graduated to become successful u shud really go elsewhere cuz when u get here and have the "Box Bomb" professor u'll do like those other wimps and leave the same week...

now back to the regularly scheduled program!!!

Even though going to Ross sucks (esp for the amount of money you are paying), but if you have the means and ability, get into a US school. If not, stick with either Ross or SGU. The other schools may "look" nicer and seem like a nicer place to live, etc, but MANY MANY more people recognize Ross (and SGU) in random parts of the US compared to the other schools out there (if I'm not mistaken, nearly every caribbean island has a medical school on it now, all known by some random acronym like SUM, SUS, ASU, AUS, AUA, etc)
