Does anyone know if it is possible to upload our class schedules onto a iphone/blackberry? Any ideas on how to do it if it can be done?
upload them to gmail, then to iphone. i am fuzzy on the details, but i know you used to be able to get them into gmail.Does anyone know if it is possible to upload our class schedules onto a iphone/blackberry? Any ideas on how to do it if it can be done?
I gotta newbie freshman question, does Fin-Aid get dispersed before Orientation, or only after you register at Orientation?
I get to register on the last day, and am planning out my monies. I have some furniture to buy, but it looks like I will need that money to pay all the various fees because my aid won't be dispersed by that time.
I was just really enamored with the idea of having my apartment set up before school started..
if anyone can tell me about sites other than Troy/Livonia, I'd appreciate knowing what other options are good, too.
Thanks so much.
The student branch of the AMA. I wouldn't recommend you join unless you really want to but a lot of us have them sell the books during M1 orientation.
Hey guys, I'm getting a place that is about a 10 minute walk from Scott Hall. It's on Woodward Ave and Martin Luther King Blvd (next to the Bank of America and Starbucks).
To me at least, it seems like it's a safe enough walk during the daytime, but what about after dark? The reason that I am asking is because I am debating whether to get the Wayne State year round parking pass just in case. It seems like an unnecessary $400 purchase. I figure that I can just leave my car parked at my apartment.
What do you guys think?

it depends on how late you're talking about. you can always cut through UHC/Harper to get a little closer... but i wouldn't walk around too much downtown after about 9pm. However, there are parking options after 5 if you choose to go home and drive back to study.
Since it's all supposedly interconnected, is it possible to walk through the DMC complex of tunnels from the Mack Ave side of it (UHC, Harper, Rehabilitation Institute) all the way to Scott Hall?
And just how safe is the Woodward and Martin Luther King/Mack area? I noticed a few homeless people wandering around there, but that seems to be the norm everwhere within the vicinity of DMC.
I mean there seems to be lots of commercial (starbucks, kinkos, banks, coney island, etc.), residential (Ellington Lofts) and institutional things (Wayne State buildings, UofM buildings, DMC, galleries, etc.) in the immediate area. There was also a noiticeable heavy police presence. So that made me think that it was a relatively safe area. Just a little concered I guess......would like some more feedback....

i know it's at least possible from the john r entrance of harper. i hear it's possible from RIM, but i've yet to figure out how.
ditto on what fun8stuff said though.
A While back, someone said that one could find cheaper insurance than what is offered by the school.
I found a plan by HAP that looks good, but I was wondering if other people knew any other companies that offered health insurance to individuals in the area.
Thanks!
According to the papers I have been sent from the admissions office, the Scott Hall surface lot will be open between 8/03 and 8/07 from 7 AM till 5 PM.
Hey everyone, as a non-resident student, I've been trying desperately for a way to try and get in state tuition (at some point) but so far have come up empty..
My dad is an alum of the med school though, does anyone know if this can factor into getting resident status? I heard about it happening at some undergrad colleges, but not sure if Wayne will consider it..any thoughts/ extra suggestions for loopholes are appreciated.
Any of you senior year students have tips for the upcoming anatomy/histo exam for first years?

Take two motrin or tylenol before you start

Your Step 1 bad 30% anatomy? That's surprising.
I will still say that M1 doesn't matter that much for Step 1. Biochem I had about 2 questions. Any of the important info is repeated in path or pharm. Obviously the second time around is much easier if you understood the concepts and physiology from M1. Anatomy and Biochem are subjects you don't really need to study for on Step 1 so on that point you are correct that you should get a strong basis first year. The point is not killing yourself over grades and excessive studying. You will forget all of the details about muscles for anatomy and especially biochem pathways.
I'm looking into doing my 3rd and 4th year rotations at a couple different hospitals in Detroit. DMC Huron Valley, DMC Sinai Grace, Henry Ford Wyandotte, and Oakwood South Shore. I would be picking one of these sites not going to all four. Do you guys know anything about any of these sites and where you would recommend living/not living? Thanks.

Unless things have changed significantly in the past three years, the area around sinai grace can be rather rough. much of the detroit "gun and knife club" has moved from receiving to sinai grace.
Wow... if you think Sinai Grace area is "nice"
then you clearly did not grow up in the state --
take a drive down McNichols near Grace and you will probably change your mind.
There's a reason Grace sees "more trauma" than the other down town hospitals.
I'm not sure where you (Test Pilot) get off saying the other hospitals are "not trauma centers".
Are you even really a student in Detroit???
Maybe you work for Grace and are trying to sell your hospital to students/soon to be residents...
either way, smells like a troll. And secondly, I think you are on crack if you're saying Receiving has poor food choices...
you couldn't ask for more places -- Cafeteria in Children's, DRH, Harper, Subway, Quiznos, Wendy's, Au Bon Pain all within 5 minutes walking inside... Clearly this beats one cafeteria. (I'm an HFord resident and I greatly miss the DRH food choices)
Where to start? You seem to have a major reading comprehension problem.
Compared to DMC's downtown location where I also work and where Wayne State is, Sinai Grace is a huge step up. It is a level 2 trauma center. Maybe some folks are interested in seeing traumas? The other three hospitals are not trauma centers. That said the few streets around the hospital look fairly working class, and the stores on the main road are occupied. This is a huge difference from - say - DMC's downtown location/Wayne State where you can see bombed out ghettos that look like Baghdad literally across the road from the hospital on almost all sides with vagrants stumbling around at all hours of day.
To be honest with you, at either location I drive to work and drive back. I don't go out exploring in the evenings or frequenting the local drinking establishments. But the short drive to Sinai Grace from either the M-39 or M-10 expressway is a safe one through decent areas of town. The cafeteria is pretty good and I can get my lunch there without feeling the need to venture out for take away.
So I've been summoned for jury duty in Pontiac in early December. I know I can have student affairs write me a letter to postpone for six months but if they do contact me again in six months to serve apparently I can't postpone again. That would be around the time of the end of M3, Step 2, and my wedding. Any recommendations? I'll be on psych so it's not that important and chances are I won't be selected to serve but still I could miss a lot of the rotation and I think we have mandatory lectures.

So I followed through with talking to student affairs and they sent a supporting letter to the jury clerk. I received the questionnaire back from the clerk saying that I have to choose a date within 6 months to postpone. I called the clerk and said that I have to see a judge the day I'm summoned or postponed to and request to be exempt from serving for now. So there's no way of getting out of it except for showing up. Either way I'll choose a day when I'm on Family Medicine.
Does anyone know if WSU ranks their waitlist?
As far as I know yes. But that information is 4 yrs old.
