I have 8 hours. Nothing to special in that department.
I remember a post from one user how they went around a hosiptal and asked every office if they had MD's willing to do shadowing. I want to do something like that but quite a bit more selective. 🙂
Where are you at Shadowing wise?

I want to do some EM stuff too. Maybe not so much the OB/GYn.
So far, just some Radiologist. I hear that Family Medicine is almost like an unoffical requirement in the shadowing dept. but I just have no interest in becoming one. But I want to shadow a Cardiologist, EM, and mayyybe some General Surgery

Those sound like good shadows. I could do general surgry about as much as you can do OB/GYN! Don't discount FM to quickly though. I enjoyed my shadowing. PCPs have a unique relationship with their pts. I was really cool to see the MD and pts interact. I felt like I was watching two old friends talking everytime I walked into the room.
Wooooh! Welcome to the club friend. I think that makes it like 4 people now
HAHA
.....That statement makes me feel like a loser 🙁On the brightside, we have plenty of time on our hands. I have a feeling that by the time out cycle is over with, that this thread will be pretty long!

Haha nonsense! We do have a lottt of time though. Even though for me, the summer has gone by really fast. It will be July in just a couple of days
And then the second year will begin...
Third year for me 😀
i actually just finished my sophomore year and am only short of 2 classes from finishing all of my prerequisits but probably will spend another semester therefore delaying my application for one year. Did you guys start your Ec, volunteer, shadowing yet? I have zero EC but I have been working at a nursing home, pharmacy, and dry cleaners.
Fourth year for me. Then it's time for a two year long post-bacc program. So I'll be the old(er) guy in of y'alls classes.

It is never too late! Unless your'e dead, but even that is a minor detour.
@SN1
I have started some EC's this summer. I will probably continue these until college and maybe I can pick up a few more minimal ones along the way. I have only shadowed a Radiologist, and while that was really cool, I want to do a Cardiologist, E.M. and possibly some General Surgery.
Its happening man, just accept it

No grades, this is summer! 🙂 But I did bio, some math, and chem last year. Organic and physics coming up, and I thought I might try to knock out either biochem, English, or stats next summer. Trying to keep as many of the options open as I can. 🙂

I wish my job schedule would let me shadow this neurosurgeon (which sounds so awesome), but I think I have to delay until February break when my schedule is more open and I can work around his. 🙁
How are you guys' grades so far and what prereqs have yall completed
My grades are okay/low. I had a strong first semester but my second semester really brought me down.
So Far my pre-reqs are as follows:
Pre-Calc- B
Calc- A
Bio 151- B
Chem- C 🙁
Chem Lab- C 😡 (this score was complete bullcrap, but I shall avenge my self)
I'll probably have to do this too. I got lucky last summer when I didn't really have a job and I could be extremely flexible. But now, I'm as flexible as Aerogel (look it up, its sooo cool)
LOL I agree. We should be enjoying summer and stop talking about school.
Yeah, though my summer is already halfway over! I believe my fall classes start August 23rd
I'm going to use this gif every time someone doubts us
Is this common? I made a B in pre-cal but an A in Calc I as well.
Very common and in fact BETTER.
My brother got the same exact grades. B in precalc and an A in Calc. A lot of my friends also said that Calc I is easier than precalc. I think precalc is where the the algebra is the toughest.
Calc I on the other hand, is like an intro class. Limits, derivatives, integrals, and other new concepts are fairly introductory in this class.

Not too bad for your first year.
I was lucky too this past spring. I did NOT have to work but was taking orgo II, physics I, calc I, and a computer class. I couldn't find a job until the end of June and now am working 40 hrs a week 🙁
Hopefully I'll be joining you all! 🙂

You guys are laggin so far behind, I may overlap you Mario Kart StyleWoooooh! Welcome to the club man 😀
Join the conversation, Have you done any EC's yet? How are your grades?
Almost as 'funneh' as this thread.... Just kidding this one is so much more hilarious.

Woooooh! Welcome to the club woman 😀

D'oh! I didn't even see that. You are looking pretty good so far! Any schools you really want to go to?
Realistically, I would be more than happy with MCG but my dream/reach school would be Emory.
The radiologist had an guy in his residency who went to Emory. My In-state school is UVa while for my OOS school, I've always wanted to go to UMiami.
Hot girls in bikinis +beach +med school = dream come true

What What! (in the butt). Welcome to the club mate
Which state are you going to?
Hopefully Oregon.
Dangit. this was going to be my year but I gotta do an extra year of UG. 2019? woo...what an ugly number :/

An extra year just means that you will be older and more mature and better able to handle med school.
wow...in 2018, kids who were born in 2000 will be 18 :O wasn't 2000 like yesterday?
