I received an email on Wednesday March 27th about important dates, matriculation requirements, and a flyer about move in dates. If you haven't received that email, I think you should contact arcom and let them know so you can get that info.
Just work hard to keep an 80% average in BECOM, then you'll be able to skip all these lectures.
Current OMS1 here at ARCOM, and I'm gonna be honest with you KCU is a better choice (just because of its reputation and its large residency network), but also a tougher program. Just make sure you will succeed there though because there's no point going to a school if you're gonna fail out later anyway. Hit the ground running and work hard from day one. Me personally, I turned down KCOM last year because I felt I wasn't gonna succeed there due to the atmosphere and the vibe I got from the school and the very tiny town, and so I stick with ARCOM. It was a hard decision, but I made it anyway, and now I have to live with it. Hopefully, it still turns out to be a good decision for my career.
There are not any places within walking distance that would save you any money- you would actually be paying more for the townhouses that are behind the school (they are $1400 a month with nothing included).
What duplexes do you live in if you don’t mind sharing? That’s a pretty good price for a 3b and 2b.
PM me any specific questions for more inside info.
There’s not really a name for them, but they’re on Huntington Chase, Huntington Trace, Chadwick Way, and Chadwick Trace. My landlord posts them on Craigslist when they are available. The 3beds go fast, but if I see a for rent sign up in the neighborhood I will post on here! I think there is a 2bed for rent right now, but it will be gone before most people move here for school.
PM me if you have any questions.
Thanks
May, not April
Most laptops these days are touchscreen anyway. Most people have something with a pen you can write on the screen with like an iPad or a surface pro or book. They are super useful when taking notes on the lectures PowerPoint slides.
You would probably be more lucky posting that on the Facebook page.
I prefer my ipad for notes. Laptop is for rewatching lectures
You will get more anatomy than you ever want over your first year. Enjoy your last free summerI heard from a student that it was really useful for her and other students that went. Anatomy looks like the basis of so much other stuff we will need to know and the anatomy lab might be a one time chance to see the human body without the pressures of injuring someone. Being as familiar as one can before jumping into school just seems like a good idea.
Personally, I don't want to shell out 1500 bucks or be locked down in class right before a long and arduous journey of more classes. So what I have been doing is going through my brother-in-law's old Medical Anatomy and Anatomy Atlas texts while looking up my questions and watching some Ninja Nerd anatomy videos on YouTube. I just study a few hours a day, when I have time. And I will stop studying a few weeks before school starts. Don't want to get burned out
If you want more time in the lab, feel better having someone else teach you, and aren't worried about adding more time in school (burnout), I'd say 1500 bucks really isn't that much in the long run. Not sure if this helps you, since I just have hearsay and opinions. But good luck, and I look forward to starting class with you
It's only useful in the sense that it gets you ahead of your classmates in anatomy (as the same materials covered in the bootcamp will also be covered again for the first two exams and lab practicals) meaning you will have more time to focus on your other classes during the first couple months of class, but other than that it's not necessary especially if you have taken anatomy before in undergrad.
Last year, people kept telling me to enjoy my time off before school, and I was like I just wanna start pre-studying and get ready for this beast called medical school. I really didn't understand until I actually started medical school. Now I would give anything to get those free time back lol. Man, it's been grueling.
I worked up till June 1st. If I could do it over again I would have left as soon as it was f inacially feasible. Only having a month off was crappy.
Not a current student, but an incoming one: I'm doing the class to get a feel for how an actual medical class is structured and to get more comfortable with it in a setting where although you're being graded, it doesnt go on your record. Its a way to ease your way into it without the 'hit the ground running' were going to feel doing the equivalent of 28 credits in a masters program per semester. Also, you will also have the opportunity to meet 1/3 of your class and get to know the faculty before orientation. For me, that seems worth it.
Fairly useless
