HI, is anyone going to NYCPM's summer pre-matriculation. I am planning to attend but i don't know where to live. DRAPER????? or ParkChester????? the good think about drapper i found out is that there will be a free shuttle to take you to the clinic. Living in parkchester would require traveling by subway to NYCPM which would be costly.
DO WE NEEED TO BUY BOOKS FOR THIS?????
Anyone been to the program before. how is it? WHat classes will they be offering? is it worth the money????

THIS IS WHAT I KNOW SO FAR

The Summer Pre-Matriculation program is an invaluable opportunity to gain more knowledge in the medical sciences and exposure to a specialized medical profession such as podiatric medicine.

In case you are not familiar with our program, let me take a moment to explain the details:

The program, which takes place from July 7, 2008through August 15, 2008, consists of three parts:

• Participants take a combination of three courses from the Pre-Clinical Sciences curriculum at NYCPM. Eg: Biochemistry, Histology, Physiology, Anatomy, or Genetics
• Students are exposed to podiatric medicine, clinical procedures, and patient care by shadowing in our clinic, The Foot Clinics of New York.
• Students learn reading comprehension, time management, and note taking skills, designed specifically to prepare them for medical school.

Current undergraduate students who have completed a minimum of 80 credit hours with no previous applications to a podiatry school can apply for tuition exemption. Tuition exemptions will be approved based on the student's academic achievements as well as their demonstrated motivation to pursue a medical profession.

ANY INFO about the program would be greatly appreciated.

DO a search on here, it's been discussed before.

Check to see if its even possible if you can live in draper for the summer. I know for last year's program only 1 girl lived there (by request) and the rest were in parkchester. I actually stayed in the apartments before and they are pretty good, big for city standards and fully furnished. Draper is a box of a room with a sink, along with shared floor bathrooms. I would do parkchester in a hearbeat.

Tuition is free for the program if you are a student. You are paying like $1,125 for housing though for the summer. Count in food, travel, etc money as well. You can buy a month long subway card which is not too bad if you live in parkchester. It is only a few stops away.

Good luck.
