so which ms1 has the biggest syllabus so far?

[big_bud]

my stack of syllabi since the end of august is approximately 24 inches thick..

a ream of 500 sheets is approx. 2 inches thick..

so it would seem we've gone through 6000 sheets, or 12,000 pages of material. (!!!)

they ain't kidding when they say med school's tough.

They probably expand 2-3x once you have turned through all the pages, because of trapped air. So it's really only ~4000-6000 pages so far... :wink:

We've gone through about four syllabi so far (not counting our Foundations of Patient Care one) with approximately 2800 pages of material. Definitely not light reading either...

what are you both complaining about? Having thick syllaby does not mean you actually read all of it, especially the foundations to patient care. So stop acting as if it is so tough.
