My Journey To Medicine

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!!! LOLOLOL!!!

Hello Guys!! I was doing a little Fall cleaning and I forgot that I had another Kaplan MCAT Prep Book set. They are not brand new but they are gently used. This set also includes not only the subject books but also the quicksheet book, the lesson book , and the high yield science solutions and extra practice book. This set is the Kaplan MCAT Complete 7-Book Subject Review set 2016 - 3rd edition. Oh and I am also going to throw in the AAMC MCAT flashcard set. If you are interested, please comment below or email me at myjourney2medicine@yahoo.com. At that time we can discuss shipping or even a pick up option if you are in the Atlanta area. :) Thanks! Kay

After using the system I believe that it's an efficient way to keep up with what you have turned in and whats left to complete.

Since I graduated from college in the last couple of years and volunteered at the hospital recently, I was able to use my previous titer blood test. The only shot that I had to have was my TB (Tuberculosis) shot which cost me a whopping $100.00!! Majority of the shots on the list were not covered by my insurance but I believe the hepatitis shot was. My previous passport would have expired while I was on the isl...

 Happy Halloween Folks LOLOL!!!!!!

  Well...when it comes to finding a flight to Antigua, you must do your research. If you didn't know, flying to the island of Antigua can very expensive and timely. So if you can purchase your tickets in advance; DO IT! Majority of the flights through American Airlines, Mesa Airlines, United Airlines and Air Canada and many others were not direct flights. The only direct flight that I found was through Delta Airlines and this direct flight flies out on Saturday's only. The cost of my flight was around $900.00 roughly and this did not include the pet fee of $125.00 (per pet each way) and this fee is to be paid at the airport before you fly. You will also need to reserve a seat for your pet to fly in cabin in advance because only 4 pets can fly in the cabin at a time. You can only fly with one pet and your pet must be in a approved carrying case. The size of your carrying case is be based on the size of the aircraft (pet weight restrictions do apply). You must check with ...
