@futuresurgeon00 Our prom is April 26th I still have to buy my boutonniere supplies because I'm making my own.
? Which math you taking? To take MAT 271 (Calc 2) you need MAT 270 Calc 1 credit. They wouldn't let me sign up for Calc 2 until I got my AP scores but I talked to some lady in the math department and she did an override for the pre-requisites!
Ah that makes sense! Yeah the placment test was hard, especially the trig part! Barely got into calc 1.
What was your final major again?
Okay so I was looking through my major map and O-Chem, Bio 182, and Physics 1 all in the same semester. Is that considered crazy? That's 3 science classes at once. Has anyone else out there done this? Good idea?

That's my major map, I'll have to see what I can do about stacking those later.
Yes, I get paid, about 8 dollars an hour, and I work 20 hours a week. I basically do everything the pharmacy technicians do! I fill prescriptions, sign off on them, package pills, check expiration dates, file papers, take prescriptions up to patient floors to the nurses station, combine IV bags and other drugs in a sterile room, and sometimes I'm allowed to package the narcotics.
How I got the gig: I go to a program called Medical STEP (Science Technology Entry Program) for minorities or economically disadvantaged people.. I'm a mixed chick , and you just show up on Saturdays and take part in biology, technology and math lectures, and you get to do some hands on stuff every once in a while (I love the cadaver labs!!) and there's a summer component in which you are allowed to shadow a doctor, or work at a hospital or dentists office, and the pharmacy just loves me, so for the past I guess now 2 summers, I've been doing that during my summer vacations.
I'm bragging.. I feel like I'm bragging.. whoops But yeah..
AH! Scrubbing in for surgery sounds so cool!! Well.. mainly because I'm just a little obsessed with Grey's Anatomy! I'm hoping to get more exposure like that during college, probably not surgery.. I'm not really a shark.. Surgery definitely isn't for me! Plus... I'm really uncoordinated... But I really want to shadow an internist or Family Practice doctor..Holy crap that is actually pretty cool! You get all kinds of exposure haha! The only cool thing I've done is shadow a surgeon and scrubbed in for surgery!

Ah! That's so cool! I just hate that a lot of people (it seems like) don't really see working in a pharmacy as helping you when it comes to applying to medical school. I only work during the summers, and was actually offered a paid position during the year once I graduate, but from the threads on SDN, it seems like people don't see the experience as valuable, so I have no clue if I'd want to take the job during college. They want more clinical type experiences. grr...That is very cool! I have actually been volunteering in the outpatient pharmacy at the hospital, but I am going to move up to the clinical lab area in the next month or so.

Ours is May 30th - yours is so early! Woah...Have fun though@futuresurgeon00 Our prom is April 26th I still have to buy my boutonniere supplies because I'm making my own.
Omg I've watched like 10 episodes of Grey's Anatomy in the last 3 days. Haha I heard about the show a little late and am trying to catch up! Season 2 episode 21-ish! That show is amazing! How far are you into the show?
He's the best! I like 1st hour cause I have TA and I can go on SDN! When do you guys graduate? May 23rd for me!!!!!!!
Georgetown University class of 2018! Go Hoyas!
Hope to get in their guaranteed med program after sophomore year, wouldn't have to take the MCAT!
I have several friends who did this. Not too hard to get in. Good luck!
Yo Matt, I heard they have a course at Georgetown on the relationship between Jay-Z and Kanye west? That's pretty cool, and btw good luck on the program man! That's be awesome, not having to take the MCAT.
What would y'all do if you ended up not going to med/dental/health school?
I would go into healthcare management and hope to become a hospital COO or CEO down the line.
I've never heard of that before! Sounds really interesting! My back-up if I don't get into vet school is to get a masters in Biochemistry and become a Biochemist.
Congrats to everyone graduating! And to those going off to college. Study hard!
