well if all goes well, and i somehow land an internship, yeah i'll be in town for the pre-registration shindig. As for the medchem qualifying test, i'm a little scared. I think I learned all about those chemical bonds, stereochemistry, mechanism stuff in ochem, biochem or what not, but if we don't pass it, we'd have to take Medchem 400 which is MWF 830am. I'd love to skip that class if I can.

I'll have to take a look back at my old ochem book to review.

I plan on going to the pre-registration, but I thought it was earlier in the month. Then I read through the letter quickly. I also plan on taking the medchem exam. Is it during the pre-registration meeting?

Wow- am I out of the loop. What is this mechem exam you guys are all talking about?? *Ugh...

If you do not pass the exam you have to take medchem 400 as one of your electives your first semester. It appears to be mostly ochem. I would rather study now and test out of the class.

Hmmm... it's open book open notes??? Interesting. Oh, switching track a little bit, any of you guys thinking of buying a Husky Football season pass??? I actually don't follow college football too well (just watch the big games every now and then), is our school's football team good?? =P I think I read somewhere that we have a pretty kick ass rowing team.

Hey Bao-

I think the football team is decent... I know their volleyball team kicks major ass.

About medchem- isn't this biochemistry? I have a few friends in the school who were able to apply their college biochemistry to pass out of medchem 400. Those who did pass out said it hasn't affected them in other classes. The only drawback is that your grade gets transferred as well. My friend who did take the medchem and chose not to pass out to avoid transferring the grade said she didn't do that much better/didn't learn more... so maybe if you have a good grade in biochemistry, you can just pass out- otherwise take the class.

Hmmm... well if I can apply my biochem grade, that's cool cause I got an A in that one. But from the course information, it looks more like maybe 1st semester ochem to me, in which I got a B. Actually, what if you took biochem twice (at different schools) would they just transfer one grade, or average them out?? Eh, I might as well just study a bit over the summer and do well on their test.

The qualifying exam is given during Orientation. Hmm...I didn't know anything about transferring biochem grades for medchem. Anyway I spoke to Kari yesterday and she said that they will provide an outline of what to study along with the pre-registration materials.

I don't know if it was for medchem- I just know my friends in UW right now passed out of something with their biochemistry course from undergrad.. I assumed it was medchem- but I'm probably wrong.

I'll see you at pre-orientation!
