I know this thread is old but I would like to revive it. I know that MOST present students recommend that you rest, unstress, and divest yourself of unpharmacy related commitments before PG1 but........
if someone were to truly WANT to start preparing ahead of time what should they do?
Truthfully, think back to your first and second semester....What types of info that could fit on a flash card do you WISH you had known before school started? What types of simple memorization bogged you down?
Suggestions I have been given so far are:
1. Learn top 200 drugs brand name and generic and main disease state it is used for.
2. Know the structures, names and symbols of 20 amino acids and 4 nucleotides.
3. destress and get your life in order. Plan to have no life that is not connected to Pharmacy school.
ok now what beyond this could you point to?
IS there a mechanism that you would point to from Organic Chemistry that should be specifically reviewed?
Should you review different enzymes and hormones?
I feel this huge let down after the stress of interviews, Pharmcas, Supplemental applications and getting that last course finished. I simply need some type of mental excercise to get me through to starting P1 in August. HELP!
