Hi

I was wondering what will your schedule be for the spring 2005 semester while studying for the MCAT?

I will actually just be taking 2 classes, instead of the normal 3 -- and one of them will be genetics. I'm taking the Kaplan as my 3rd course. Start studying for MCAT during Christmas break -- does that sound reasonable or should I start earlier than that?

 

[SanDiegoSOD]

OChem lab
Biochem
Policy Analysis (UD Poli Sci)
Politics of Supreme Court (UD Poli Sci)

Not a bad schedule, considering I'm taking a three month leave of abscence from my job
Oh yeah - And I'm studying on my own, no rip-off (err, i mean prep) course for me.

 

[medicomel]

50+ hours of ft work

I take the kaplan diagnostic next saturday. I'm scared too.

Our test is at 6pm!!!
They're trying to make our diagnostic as low as possible, it seems.

That was my schedule when I prepped for last april. It worked out fine for me, just beware Kaplan's practice tests - they're not exactly the same style as the real MCAT.
Good luck! (that's for everyone)

great schedule ,

Thermodynamics is iffy , lots of chem 2 so get ready !

Civil engineering fluid mechanics or Mechanical engineering fluid mechanics your taking?
I took the one with Civil Eng. dept , and it was not bad. Preety interesting when your driving over bridges on stormy days ..and you can understand the load the water is carrying against the columns.

Heat & Mass transfer , ahh never got to take that course.

I see that we have another engineer on board

 

[nightowl]

I'm debating, which sounds the best?
I will be working 10-15 hours a week.

Embryology and lab (4)
Orgo II and lab (4)
Physics and lab (4)
Research
Kaplan class

or just

Orgo
Phys
Research
Kaplan class

or

Embryology
Phys
Cal I
Research
Kaplan class

here's the thing with orgo II... I've already taken it all the way up to the very end and got a W, so I'm confidant I'll know it for the MCAT in April, I just need to fulfill that req'ment. So I was thinking about taking it over the summer, but I heard that one of the teachers during the year was a lot easier...

me too--Mercer

so count me in on all that engineering fun!
