Mine was open!
Yea shoot her an email. Most people I know had the same thing happen. She’ll give you an updated day or let you know the decision.
Whew! Thank you!
I am currently in my first term and in the AEP program! All it means is that the admissions committee decided that you would benefit from having extra guided study sessions. You are required to go to a small closed group study session lead by an upper term student once a week. The sessions are usually anatomy or physiology and you have to pick the one you think you would need help in the most. You are also required to go to one open study DES session every week and those are of any of your other classes that other upper term students are able to help facilitate. DES sessions are just like the AEP sessions, but are open to all students. There's no extra cost or school time, just extra study help that you are required to go to. I find them very helpful. If you have any other questions feel free to ask
I don't personally have T-Mobile, but have heard from my classmates that it works fine. If something happens and it doesn't work there is always the option of wifi and using facebook or whatsapp to contact people as well.
Oof must have missed that part! Thank you!
Sometimes it moves quite a bit, but depends on how many people decline their spot. I know some people who were pulled off the waitlist around 3 weeks before the start of classes
One that is big enough to fit all the things you will need for the day. You will be in a lecture hall for 4 hours straight most days with 10 minute breaks in between, so make sure you have room for your computer, notes, snacks, and warm clothing.
Imma second a dakine backpack. I think mine is an older version of the Jewel. Used the same backpack in all of undergrad and it’s still in amazing condition. And this is from someone who needed a new backpack 1-2 times a school year in high school because of how much wear they got.
I need this feature... sorry for the silly question, but what do you mean by "back support"? Like waist and sternum straps (which help a lot) or like a stiffer frame?
I got one of those in high school and it didn’t even last me the entire school year 🙁
I would recommend the sunset bbq and the "booze" cruise/snorkeling event. They were fun and a nice way to see some of the island with family.
The price depends on where they plan on staying. Some resorts are more expensive than others and include different things. I would recommend having them look into the Radisson or somewhere along Grand Anse beach because they are usually decently priced and they are more accessible to visiting them without needing to get a taxi. Then food just depends on if it's included at the place or if you have to go out to eat for meals. There are some reasonably priced places as well as more expensive places to eat all mixed around the Grand Anse area.
No problem! I'm not going to lie, you are thrown a ton of information from each class at you all at once. You start taking quizzes for your core classes around 2-3 weeks after starting and they happen once every week for 3 weeks. Then you have a week before midterms and after that around 2-3 weeks later you do round 2 of quizzes in the same way. Then you will have finals like a week later. It's easy to get behind in learning material, so you have to try your best to keep up with it and have a study plan. In the first half of the semester all classes are teaching different material and then after midterms most of the classes overlap with the material of what we are learning. As for anatomy you also have a lab portion and will be tested on identifying parts of cadavers that they pin or answering a question about what they pin for your midterm and final(it is cumulative).
No, you get placed wherever they have room. It's a mix of med and vet students in every dorm, but you'll usually have some vet students in each building around campus. A lot of my class this last term was in the same building, but it may vary depending on amount of med students since they require more dorms for every incoming class.
Midterms are usually 2 months into the term. For term 1 starting in august this year midterms start on october 7th and are done on the following Monday.
I started in January this year and the schedules for all terms are up on the Carenage. I'm not sure if they allow you to take them sooner or not. I know for anatomy you take a practical and I don't think that can be rescheduled. You usually have one midterm a day except for anatomy where you have lecture and lab practical on the same day.
