Hey guys, congrats again to those that have gained entry into OSU-COM. We are all excited to see and have you here!
Now, unless you are required to take the summer "pre-Histo" class, I'd advise against it. Those that took it, didn't do much (if any) better than the average and you should really be trying to relax the rest of this summer. I apply the med school year to a show on the discovery channel... "The Deadliest Catch".. Basically its a really long grind. Make no doubts about it, you will be mentally and physically tired by the time finals come. The difficult part about Meeks class is not that its Histo per se. It has Histo, but also significant Pathology and Cellular Physiology. That's the more difficult part. Our class did well (on avg) on the lab section (which is typically all histo), then got beat up a bit in the lecture section (which is a combination of all 3). So sit back, look at your pre-req's/grades in those areas and decide if you really think you need to take it. I know that everyone is different and have different learning styles, so feel free to do as you wish. I just thought I'd put my .02 in before people signed up to take the class for sure.
We had a really good turn out for the applicant information session on friday (Class of 2014) and we are all pretty excited to see the incoming class of 2013 this coming friday. 👍
