Reminders

Have you registered for your MCAT yet?  If not, DO IT!  Seriously.  Don’t delay.  There are already no seats in Philadelphia for the January 28 or 29 tests, so you’ll have to travel if you’re taking the MCAT on one of those dates.

Don’t forget about Full-Length #2!  I know we just took Full-Length #1 recently, but it’s already time to start looking forward to the next Full-Length.  You should have Full-Length #2 completed by our last session (MCAT Strategy and Critical Thinking III).

Remember to send content, strategy and other questions to our class journal.  The address is mchv10702.blogspot.com.  You can easily post your questions anonymously using the screenname “mchv10702” and the password “letsgo45T”.

MSCT III will have to be moved.  The current date of that session is Thursday, December 9.  There is an honors banquet for the second-year class before we enter clinicals, and I would really like to attend.  Survey:  https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDZTX1BfQTdNNU1LcVBhZTExa3hfWHc6MQ)

Speaking of clinicals, remember that I start in the wards on January 3, 2011.  Since my first rotation will be inpatient medicine, I am guessing it will be very unlikely that I can respond to emails and questions as expeditiously as I can these days.

Remember that I run an optional “bonus” session right after MSCT III.  I will take some time to discuss a timeline for applying to medical school, and try to give you advice as we go along.  I try to run it in forum-style, so please feel free to gather questions beforehand.  After that, I will stay as long as anyone wants to discuss content; I don’t want anyone to leave the class without feeling that their questions have been answered.  Common topics in the past have included inclined planes, the oxy-hemoglobin dissociation curve, electrochemical cells, organic projections and others.

I am aware that many of you may not have received the mid-point survey.  If you did, please make sure to fill it out.  Also check your spam folders to make sure it didn’t end up there.  If you didn’t receive the survey, I’d still really enjoy getting feedback on what I’m doing well, and what I could stand to improve.  Please send me feedback if you have the chance; you can do this anonymously by using the email for the class blog – mchv10702@gmail.com.  You should all receive a survey at the end of the class.  I have spoken to the national team to make sure that there aren’t issues with its distribution.
