I will be going to Howard med in the fall. Goodluck on Amcas, but you cannot use my scores to determine your chances. I think they looked at everything as a package. If your scores are avg as 3.0 gpa and mid 20's mcats which mine were try to balance it out with something. I did a masters and worked in interesting places i.e world bank, in naija for 1 yr and half etc, took hard core grad level sciences, did cancer research, and had good ltrs of recs so try to highlight those things that are good about you. Do not look at others please. Goodluck. -n

Hey,

Naijaman here, heading to WashU for fellowship next year.
 
hello.
i am not from ghana, yet recently returned from the beautiful mother land. I do have a few questions, that need to be answered. Most importantly, i want to make a full bloodtest to be sure all is ok, that i didn't get infected by a black fly, or carrying some like bacteria-farm in my belly, that will pop up some months unknowingly. If you or anybody else has an idea of which test i should ask for, please do let me know.
Thank you in advance

I'm from Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria, grew up in Uyo, lived in Opebi, Ikeja-Lagos for about 4 years before coming to the U.S in 2000. I just saw this thread for the first time and went through every page. Not one Ibibio or Efik person representing Akwa Ibom or Cross River State until now. Nigerians sure dominate the african med student population but it's mostly Igbos and Yorubas. That's fine but I would just like to see more of my people too. I'm tired of always being asked the follow-up question "Are you igbo or yoruba" when I mention I'm from Nigeria. Hello? there are many other tribes in Nigeria! It's all good, we're the same people anyways.

Hey, Naija girl here reppin
 
i'm about as nigerian as they come.
 
Greetings my people!

My name is Ijeoma Nnodim and I'm a fourth year medical student at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Michigan.

Besides representing Naija (Nigeria) to the fullest, I am also very excited to introduce you to the newest, most innovative, and most progressive contribution to the betterment of our people here in the United States as well as at home in our continent, Africa: Africans In Medicine (AIM).

It is the mission of AIM to forge a cohesive unit that will harness the diverse intellectual and creative energies of African medical professionals towards exerting a positive and progressive impact in our community both in the United States and in the continent of Africa.

We intend to accomplish this mission by pursuing innovative, proactive, and constructive ideas on improving health care in the African continent by addressing root elements that affect African health and wellness, while adopting a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach.

In 2006, 100 young, excited, and energetic African medical professionals gathered for first ever general meeting of Africans In Medicine (AIM) held in Atlanta, Georgia. This year, we will be meeting in San Francisco, California on Friday, April 6th and Sunday April 8th, 2007 to continue to solidify our foundation and consolidate our collective resources to organize programs and activities towards accomplishing our mission.

In addition to organization building, sharing resources, and other conference logistics, we will also enjoy delicious African delicacies as well as groove to hip African jamz at our Friday party.

Join us in San Francisco, California to work for healthier, stronger Africans and a healthier, stronger Africa.

For more information, please contact Ijeoma Nnodim at [email protected] , Obi Ekwenna at [email protected], or Kwame Sankofa at [email protected].

Also, let us know if you intend to attend or if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks and God bless,
Ije

I don't want this to become offensive or mean in any way, but why do you guys think immigrant black people do so much better than American black people? Every stat I have read has shown me that African blacks are the model immigrant group in the states (when it comes to education at least).
