Don't think I'll be subscribing soon. No down time. :(

Kevin,

Don't worry about it.

Get your degree... become responsible and successful, get a beautiful family, home, kids, and when you can afford it, choose a Ferrari...

Whenever you're ready for the brotherhood, the brotherhood will be here waiting for you with advice, assistance, and support...

I almost offered to pay your subscription but... you don't need any additional distractions right now

 

I was Biology/Pre-med. 2-3 hours would probably be the minimum on an off day. Smart to do your best to minimize distractions.

 

Best of luck to you Kev.

Don't worry, it only took many YEARS to finally pay up and dontate to what I use so often.

 

I was on the forums a bit back in college (graduated in May of 2006)...good way to get away from the books. Premed wasn't too bad. Just stay on top of things I guess. You have a lot of free time in undergrad.

My subscription (silver) ended when I left my job I think...now I have no income. Med school pretty much takes everything away from me (time, energy, money). Had my first exam of year 2 this morning and am happy I'm off the rest of the day.

Time for some sleep and then to see some CT surgery tomorrow morning. Enjoy undergrad...don't spend all your time in books. 1st yr of med school was pretty laid back. 2nd year is all books. 3rd year will be better...you get human interaction.

 

so 3-5 hours / day in class and 2-3 studying...

Be forewarned... this is the easiest you'll have it for the next 50 years...

Have some fun. And good luck.

Simon.

 

lol...he spelt twowishin wrong! lol

 

Lol. 2-3hrs is a good day for me. Insane days are 8hr + two days before exams. Most days are spent without opening my backpack.

Pre-med is easier then what everyone thinks it is. All you have to do is be smarter/less anal/more well-rounded then the competition. Enjoy your twenties when you still can.

Med school is a lot easier then they say it is.

 

It will be lots of memorization. Over and over. "Know" it long enough to take the test. Then on to the next set of information to memorize. It is wierd, it is almost like you compartmentalize the information you are learning for a few weeks and then your brain just dumps most of it. It is funny what things you then always retain, I can still remember the five parts of the developing brain when I took embryology nearly 20 years ago.

I said I was Biology/Pre-med. I started that way (two years), ended up Mech Eng. I didn't know what I wanted to do at 17, science in general was easy for me in HS, so I thought "why not?". Got into pre-med and hated it. Hopefully you like it.

What was always said was that in Med School they would teach you what you needed to learn, if you had an undergrad major that was not specifically related to medical science you would still be accepted and could complete the program. Those with a major like Biology or Chemistry had better have a 4.0 or close to get into a top Med School. Ironically if you had a slightly lower GPA (say 3.75) in another major, you had a good chance of being accepted as well. I knew one person who went to a top med school (Wash U) and majored in Russian as an undergrad for example.
