Hey guys,
Congrats on getting into Morehouse! I'm sure you have a lot of questions since school starts in just a few weeks. I'm a member of c/o 2010 as well, so feel free to PM me. I agree with MSM2010....don't buy any books until you've heard from your sib. If for some reason your sib doesn't get in touch w/ you asap, you might want to buy Dr. Paulsen's book, but you can definitely wait at least 2 wks before you go buy it. The first unit is really basic stuff that you've most likely covered completely in undergrad, and you can do well w/o any of the books for sure. For first unit, the only books you'll probably even use are Lippincott's Biochem and Paulsen's Histo. I actually really didn't use Paulsen's book except when I couldn't sleep, and I opted to use Juncquiero (sp?) histo book instead because Paulsen's book is basically a study guide version of this book....seriously, I dont' know how he got around copyright laws....and this book explains more stuff and has pictures, which Dr. P's book does not....
Also, sib stuff...if you don't know already, you will be paired with a member of our class who will be your resource for whatever you may need...they will almost certainly give you books and whatever else they used this past year. We are working on the SibCD, which will have lots of old tests, quizzes, study guides, etc. for you to use throughout the year. Also, there a few members of your class from last year's summer program, so they have already covered this unit and will be good resources for you. Identify those ppl early and make sure to ask them whatever questions you have because they had to have done well on the first unit to get in.
Convocation = white coat ceremony and is always some time in September. Classes won't start until the Monday after orientation, so I guess that's 7/10. Our class won't be back until 8/13, but there are some in ATL, who will probably come talk to your class.
Ok, this is really long, so PM me if you have any more questions.
