oh cool man. Ill see ya there...i'm going up to PA in march to look for a place.
Hi Everyone!! I was at PCOM on January 9th and I got accepted. I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am right now doing some research for fun for living situations. I will not be there this summer though. I cant wait. What is everyone's car situation?? I still dont know what I am going to do. If I live withing walking distance of the school I may not need one?? Congrats everyone and I look forward to meeting you all!
you will need a car. The neighborhood around the school is good but not great. I wouldn't recommend a female walking alone at night. Plus better supermarkets are located away from the school. you end up going to school alot at night, especiallyw ith anatomy and it is cold. Philly mass transit also isn't that great
don't waste your money. The biggest benefit is you get to meet some people before the regular prientation, but the time would be better spent earning money at a job. Plus most of the people I know who took it aren't doing exceedingly well in cell and tissue(biochem) so it doesnt help too much. its also not for credit

4-5 week summer course dedicated to teaching medical biochemistry and adjusting to medical school (people who have been out of school for a while/ non-trad). From what i read on past posts (04,03) it has helped people. If someone wants to take the biochem class i think it is 650 bucks (I think..could have changed). For some people the fee is waived. I dont have to pay for the course...but i do have to arrange room/board. That does kinda suck because I will be missing out on ways to increase my bank account. I hope that I will be able to work on the weekends during that month (being a waiter or something)
. Time will tell. Can't WAIT!Congrats u guys,
but like jonny said, summerstart is a waste of $$. dont bother, save that money and party hard this summer. seriously, thats like $600 for 2-3 weeks of diluted biochem. go somewhere nice.

Thanks for everyone who replied to this post. I am proud to say I also received an invitation last Friday as well. After breaking the news to my friend Admiral Nelson I finally was able to get back with this reply. Hope to see everyone this August. Have a great Spring & Summer.
mswise i notice you have the UGA arches on as your icon. so i am guessing you are from the state of georgia. So my question is why are you not going to the pcom campus in atlanta. and the rest of you who are going to pcom can you tell me if you considered the atlanta campus.
