Don't you think it is way too late to add them on MCAS now? OR are you talking about 2005?

Im guessing youre talking about next year. I would definitely add them since I was very pleasantly surprised when I went there, and its not something you would get from looking at the rankings or reading books. Im guessing as youre a Michigan resident you will be applying to UM, Michigan St, Wayne State, WashU, and some Chicago schools as well?

I'd say yes. Grady Hospital is a great place to learn from what I've heard.

I will be applying to med school in 05. when I said I was adding them to my list I meant to the list of schools that I plan to apply to, sorry if I confused anyone. where is WashU, is this in washington? and yes I plan to apply to those surrounding areas if they meet the criteria that I'm looking for. just thought I would start jotting down some schools that I was interested in applying to! anyone else have any information? thanks again to the ones who already responded!!

WashU is in St. Louis

 

[sistahnik]

Washington University in St. Louis. WashU for short.

 

[sistahnik]

oh ok!! thanks. all these different schools make you want to research them before applying otherwise you won't know where you're applying to!!!

I recommend ordering AMSAR from AAMC. It will give you a nice overview of all 125 US and Canadian schools. I think it's only MD schools, though.

Emory's main training hospital, Gradys hospital, is county-funded but is a universal-access hospital. Basically they'll treat anyone that walks in, even non-citizens.

That's why they get to see diseases like TB and Malaria from patients overseas...this opportunity is not available in most other places.

Yeah, I think it's named after George Wash, but GW was already taken by a certain school in DC. See, now I'm just making up history.

SISTAHNIK: does your name by chance come from the same root as sistahkrys and sistahra?

 

[sistahnik]

if I understand you correctly, yes.
