Do a lot of Course point questions.

Also, for the new cohort starting. You guys have Professor Joson for Pharm. He is a blessing and you will learn ALOT.

thanks for your reply! So the type of exam questions are similar to the coursepoint ones I'm assuming. And is he a fair prof? Thanks for the advice.

When I was in his class the questions were definitely similar to course point. I strongly recommend reaching the max level on each course point assignment and read the rationales for each question. I did that along with the reading+powerpoints and ended up with an A- in his class. He was a very fair instructor imho but there were some students who thought differently. Also, when you reach MS3, try to get Kathleen Rosales as your clinical instructor. She’s the freaking best.

Listen in his lectures closely, read the pages that are suggested in syllabus, participate in his class. Coursepoint is not that helpful as the questions are repeated. I suggest using rationale books, they sum up concepts and key points and make ideas easier to understand.

I thought Professor Wilson was the pharmacology professor, but I am not sure if there's a different one. Hopefully you get Wilson, definitely the best professor at MSMU. He's an ED director. Very passionate and you will always remember his stories.

Hi, do you mind telling what your statistics were for applying to MSMU? How was your GPA and did you have any previous healthcare experience?

@veesknees thanks for your reply: I think PrepU is what @JoCl89 was referring to. It's on courspoint site but its PrepU and he assigns those for Homework I see. I think the coursepoint questions directly on the publishers website are what you are saying are repeated, but I've seen that PrepU gives you a lot of rationales and the mastery. I heard from other classmates who have taken him say that doing PrepU questions helped.

@Aman my GPA was 3.4 and 3.9 in sciences when I got in. I think some people had lower than that. It seems that they give preference to students who take pre requisites with them as well. And I work in public health but I don't think that mattered.
