I just got my acceptance email! I've been refreshing/checking all morning and it just came at 2:36. And my last name starts with A, so I wouldn't get discouraged if you didn't get an email yet. They probably send them out in batches. Good luck everyone! I'm so excited

That's pretty much what I've been doing the last two weeks

Does anyone know a place that has flu shots available for this season? That's the last thing I need to do for my application. Last time I checked, my doctor and Walgreens don't have them yet.

I'm just assuming the drug test has to be done by 9/1. But that's only because I didn't specifically see an exception to it, like the BON card and the physical exam. And there's a form you have to print from Castle Branch and take with you to your drug test. Your results could, I'm assuming, get delayed otherwise. But who knows. I would hope that they weren't that strict. Let's say someone gets in based on their score, I don't think they would deny you because some forms haven't been submitted yet.

Wow @Brandon_hare that is dedication! I hope it pays off for you, that's smart to apply to more than one school. When I dropped off my application with Ms. Robins she told me 90 some students were being admitted this year. So it definitely sounds competitive.

And it's kind of expensive to get everything done. It would suck to go through all that and not be accepted. I was going to apply last semester but I decided to wait and boost my scores another semester with the hopes of only having to apply once lol

I turned in my application with a 25 on my rubric. Now there's all this Castle Branch paperwork to do, has anyone started theirs? Good luck to everyone!

I think it's best to study a little bit each day if you can make the time. And before you start studying each day, take a moment to refresh what you learned in your previous study session. I mostly studied off of the power point slides that my teacher provided. I would read and study each one and use the charts and pictures from the textbook as references. I would go over each slide until I felt like I had an understanding of what I just read, the big picture. If something was difficult to understand, I would draw pictures or make my own charts. I'm a visual learner, so making my own charts and drawings helped me to recall things later. And doing your own drawings forces you to go over the material and helps memorization. But this method doesn't work for everything. I used an A&P coloring book too, and it helped me so much. There are chapters on everything, muscles, bones, cells, the brain... I think that the coloring is a really good way to study. Flashcards work best for other sections. I had a difficult time learning the endocrine system, and flashcards turned out to be the best way for me to study all of the hormones and their functions. Overall, I think it's best to have a lot of different study methods depending on the type of material you're learning and how difficult is to remember and understand. Be adaptive and good luck!
