My Journey To Medicine

  Happy New Year my friends!!   Kay R.

As the months go by, my excitement is slowly diminishing and my feelings of nervousness has increased tremendously. There are so may loose ends to tie up before I leave. It is truly starting to become overwhelming. Between moving, obtaining funds to pay for the move, working and making sure that the dogs have everything that they need in order to fly; my life is a wreck! :( As I stated before, this process is very expensive and it is not easy. Guys if you haven't listened to nothing else I've said in the past pppppppppppppplease listen to me now when I say...be sure to explore ALL options before taking the leap of going to medial school out of the country. The only thing that's keeping me excited/sane is my future classmates. Corresponding with them daily through telegram has been not only beneficial information wise (a couple of upper classman are in the group) but also a lot of fun. :) Well let me logoff with my ...

Based on what I've spent over the last couple of months to prepare for school in Antigua...my Christmas was canceled LOLOL! Merry Christmas to those that celebrated! LOLOL! Kay R.

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

Hey Guys~ So prior to being accepted to AUA they have you setup a user id and password through the AUA application website. This is where you will upload you transcripts, letters of recommendation, MCAT score and etc. After you are accepted, your checklist will change and reflect things that you will need to arrive on the island. 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. The one thing that I encourage you to get started on is your immunization shots, funds and purchasing your passport. 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...
