   The Med Calc book we had to get is Medical Calculations by Kee and Marshall (not sure if it's still the same book the program requires, but that's the one we used). You'll get one single med calc exam...

   The workload is doable. Some people in my cohort worked part-time while in the program. This was especially helpful for those who were working in hospitals because they are getting job offers where...

   Hi, all. I wanted to let you know a couple things about the app process....I am finishing the program in a few weeks, and I remember what it was like this time 2 years ago waiting for the acceptance...

   I'm not sure who your path-pharm professor will be (the one I had is not teaching that course again). The book we used (almost a year ago) is Pathophysiology: The biological basis for disease in...

   Ksfiles replied to sbstaples12's topic in Post Graduate Students

   My stats were good (and private), but I promise that's not all that matters. There are plenty of people who got Cs on pre-reqs and were still accepted to the program. My other experience was 1.5 years...

   I applied in the fall of 2013 for Spring 2014, and I had my application in by Sept 30, 2013. My application said "submitted" until mid-December when I found out I was accepted (by phone call). I think...

    Ksfiles replied to sbstaples12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The first semester in a nutshell: Pathophysiology/Pharmacology ("path-pharm" we called it) required the most effort in terms of studying and prepping for exams, etc. The professor I had, that you...

    I'm also currently in the program. Let me know if you have any questions, but I must admit that PinkRose34 summed it up quite nicely. I put my app in Oct 1 (of last year), 2 weeks before the deadline,...

    Not sure if USF offers scholarships, but I do know there are outside sources of scholarships you can apply for. There are over 1000 hours. The last 2 semesters are different bc: semester 5 is lighter...

    Ksfiles replied to lyssa_3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    To those who didn't get in (yet), you've gone so far and this whole process is tiring, but maybe see this as an opportunity to step through another door that will open. You only have a bit more to...

    The "submitted" thing freaked me out too ("Have they not reviewed everything yet? Are they missing something?! Did they skip my application?!" hahaha), but no worries...it will say that until a day or...
