Hreyes Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'l be commuting from home it's only a 35min drive for me. I don't think we will be using cadavers, I think I asked. But not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnwod Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I got accepted too and will probably start looking for a place to stay in July. Has anyone received their packet yet and how is everyone paying for St. John's? I just submitted my FAFSA and was wondering if that will be enough or do most people seek out additional aid?

just419 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hey everyone, my name is Justin and I'm a clinical student at St. John's University, currently on my ninth rotation. Feel free to ask/email me if you have any questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnwod Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi Samantha, does that mean you've already received your packet? Just419, do you have any advice for "independent" students? I've been studying the medical terminology book we're to be tested on. One independent student at my interview suggested studying pharmacology since it's covered in the first two years at St. John's. Are the any pharmacology books you would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaJ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 No packet, I called them to find out the exact date. Orientation will begin Wednesday, August 17th. Will anyone be looking for a roommate for when school starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just419 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The pharmacology we covered prior to the didactic phase focused mainly on the autonomic nervous system and the associated meds, which was tested on one of the first few quizes. The book that was recommended for the PA program was Lippincott's Pharmacology and we used the Katzungs Basic and Clinical Pharmacology prior to the program. It'll probably be more useful to go over the basic autonomic physiology and all of the neurotransmitters rather than start memorizing medications.

just419 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 As far as the GPA goes, your "total gpa" is still calculated with all of the pre-reqs included, organic chem, biochem etc... On the other hand, a lot of employers are only interested in your GPA in PA school but it really depends on the hospital. Your total GPA is especially important if you are considering to apply to a post-graduate residency program. When I applied to the PA program, they let us know in February if we were accepted or not, but I know they have changed that over the past year. I guess they felt students didn't try as hard in biochem or pathology if they knew they were already in. Did you have your interview yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
