only 4 and a half months till orientation!!! Crazy stuff... I'm just hoping I'll get my research done early so i can at least have a month off before med school begins!!!!!!
I know its nuts! I hear you about getting some time off before school starts. I'll be leaving work either the last week of June or first week of July - 3.5 months for me!

I'll probably work 'till the middle of July. ACK! I really need a vacation! I hope 3 weeks to move and get myself together will be enough!I know its nuts!

I have not heard any information about the second look weekend for the class of 2011 @ NJMS, does any one have any information on it?
I mean I know other schools offer a second look weekend. A time when students who are in between school and students who already have decided where they are going to go all meet at the school. Its supposed be a time for everyone to get to know each other before the school year starts.
From your response im guessing that NJMS offers no such program, i guess it was only for the parents
Thanks for posting.
The white coat ceromony is on the August 14th, right?
Also, has anyone heard anything from finaid?
White coat ceremony 8/14, at the end of orientation (or so they told us in January).
Financial aid just said..."Get your stuff in ASAP". I had a question for them, and was told to e-mail a certain financial aid counsellor. She still hasn't gotten back to me 5 days later. I guess they're in no hurry, but we should be?...I don't know what to say about that.
Does anyone know if there are any more planned get togethers coming up to get to know possible roomates or just to offer more information?

OK. I just talked to someone in the admissions office, and she said that there will be a housing day on Friday June 1st at NJMS (she thinks in the grand foyer). There will be representitives from the university housing there, as well as students looking for roomates, and students looking for someone to take the lease on their apartments when they leave. Anyone from Central Jersey thinking of going? Maybe we can carpool or ride the train together...
I'm also looking to live off campus, hopefully with a roomate, so that kind of match-up day would be really great for me. =
I probably will go (but that will mean I have to cut short the ASM conference in Toronto). Menaniac, I'm from Highland Park and will probably be taking the train -- I'll contact you closer to the date if you want to go together. By the way, where in NJ are you from?
given any thought as to exactly where you want to live? Staying in newark or surrounding burbs?
Congrats!!!!Dr. H offered me one when I was given my acceptance call in October.
Back in the mix it is! I just got my first round of shots at the doctors yesterday. Yuck-o! Both arms (Tetnus and Hep-B), and they haven't even taken the 15 or so vaccutainers of blood they'll need to test for immunity for everything else! I have a feeling we'll be safe from everything when this is over! Hope everyone else's pre-med prep is going well...
Good idea, I think I'm going to get them done real soon. Is it possible to get these too early before matriculation? Or is it fine to start getting all of them now?

If anyone is interested, there is a symposium at NJMS May 13-15th
"Neuroprotection and Neurorepair: From Pharmacology to Stem Cells"
Repair of the CNS has always been an interest of mine so I'm definitely going to check it out. I just happen to have off that week anyways. You can check out the website for details. There are a bunch off physicians/scientists from NJMS and all over the country presenting their research.

Wow, all this vaccination stuff makes my head spin.
When is all this vaccination/physical information due? Does anyone know? I'm at school until mid-May, and I'd prefer to get all this stuff done at my family physician, rather than at our student health center. Assuming I've already had the hep B vaccine, I should be able to wait on the rest of this stuff, right?
Ugh.
dont live in the dorms....im there now i definitely would not recommend it to anyone. its overpriced and the management is terrible. i would definitely recommend society hill if you wanted to be near the school.
That symposium looks really really good. I may have to go to that.
Housing- I have nooo idea what to do. I really want to live on campus because I'm a pretty shy person so I'm afraid I wont get to know anyone unless I have to, but I feel guilty paying so much money for it. My two best friends in the whole wide world are gonna live in jersey city (and be working) and they want me in on it but I'm afraid I'll be too distracted. I could always just spend weekends there. And finally, the dreaded living at home. I would save over 10,000 a year doing this, all food/laundry/gym/etc would be covered, my mommy would clean my room and pack me lunch lol (she has empty nest hardcore), but yeah, she's also kind of really overbearing. Hence my shyness, I suppose. The commute from my house is more or less half an hour, and my mom works in newark as well so if I'm too tired to drive one morning she could drop me off and stuff. But, I'm obviously afraid of being isolated if I do this. So, yeahhh. I dont know.
I could easily commute as well... but honestly medical school requires many many many late nights of studying and stuff, including group sessions (very helpful), and my parents are 100% for me going to med school but when they have 0% respect for my sleep/rest time.
In undergrad I commuted and I would sometimes be up till 5 cramming and getting like 2-3 hours of sleep and driving to school... and my parents would friggin wake me up an hour before I planned (knowing what my schedule was) to do bs like take the garbage out or pull the cars out... Just thinking about it gets me furious... I have some of the most supportive parents in the world (emotionally and financially), but living at home during school, let alone medical school, is definitely not doable for me. Everyone's situation is different tho.
