   There are several students with children in our class....a few even with children

   Most students do live relatively close to the campus...I'd definitely recommend within a 45 min driving distance. You only have one class day a week on campus, but they try to make it so all clinical rotations are within an hour in any direction fro...

3. Dosage Calculation Help

   mac05032 replied to esmith12's topic in General Students

   We weren't given any real education or materials on how to do these kinds of questions either, but I did find a book on Amazon that was very helpful with all the med math you'll encounter. Henke's Med-Math (Dosage Calculation, Preparation, and Admin...

   I'll be taking mine in December or January so I'm trying to get started now :) Anyone have any thoughts on where to start/how many questions to do a day?

   They would probably change editions if a new one came out, but honestly, the books are 95% the same between editions...I've only ever had a single chapter missing when I had a different version. I'll definitely be happy to sell books and supplies (i...

   Sadly, there is NO financial aid for this program (at least for this year) because it is not an undergraduate degree (or a graduate one for that matter). All they really offer is loans (that may not cover all the costs for some students); the majori...

   If there is no space in the 2013 cohort you WILL be automatically enrolled in the 2014 cohort. If there are no spaces at your preferred location you MAY be offered a spot for 2013 at another campus if they have room - this is what happened to me. Me...

   To my knowledge the entire file has to be complete for them to review your application - every last grade has to be in. It's certainly worth a shot to ask about it - I'd recommend calling, not emailing, as they are either slow to respond or may lose...

   The disorganization of the admissions definitely runs into the rest of the program...but it is manageable. It's tiring and confusing at first but you learn how to deal with it. It seems like a lot of the faculty involved do not communicate or don't...

    My admissions process didn't go so well either - I had originally been accepted for the 2011 class but they lost my acceptance of their offer to join the class...so I got shunted to the 2012 class. Not the end of the world but very distressing and d...

    I'm a student in the current MEIN class at Storrs. Glad to hear some of you have been accepted :) It's a good program but always keep in mind they are very disorganized - we didn't get the year's schedule till close to the start of classes. For tho...
