Well I hope you get in!!! You seem like you worked extremely hard at this. With your grade point I can't see why you would not be getting accepted.

It all depends on how many 4.0's there are, and how many 3.77s there are with 4.0 on their support classes. I do have a good chance, but it all depends on the above. The wait is driving me nuts! I want to go buy something already! LOL

One more day for Fun2Care, and we're all biting our nails! LOL. Can't wait to hear from you.

In lecture were doing cellular respiration:rolleyes:. In lab we're doing joints, ligaments and tendons, and I'll get my midterm lab practical grade on Tuesday:uhoh21:. I have a chemistry class tomorrow, so I can't relax as much as I would like. I hope everyone is having a splendid day! Oh, I'm officially hooked on Starbucks AGAIN!!:rotfl:

Hi All,

I have Micro, A& P and Patho to go. Has anyone taken Patho and A & P together. It would be a shame if I must take each, one at a time.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

LOL ummmmm thanks??? I'm not sure if I want to be blamed for you biting your nails too short! :rotfl:

That reminds me! I ran out of cocoa! I use cocoa and sweet n low! LOL It started out with chocolate syrup, then cocoa and sugar. Now, I'm trying to not make it so fattening. :rolleyes:

I have never liked coffee. I guess it's better to drink coffee than to sleep in class. :rotfl:

LOL. Not really biting them :)

Yeah, falling asleep would be bad. Mainly though, I've been using it to stay up late to study. And, then first thing in the morning of course:chuckle. They have a drive thru one near the school, I love it!

I didn't have to take patho. So, I honestly can't answer this.

Good luck! (Are they all 4-5 credit hours? Labs too?)

It's a little out of the way so I mostly stick to Tim Horton's or .. we JUST finally bought a new coffee maker so maybe will save a little $$ on the whole coffee addiction thing. Wish you hadn't mentioned it, though .. now I have a CRAVING! (lol not really but it would be nice right now)
