I may have posted this in another forum, but are you going to be attending the August session? The one with the pre-course beginning in June?

If so, have you visited the office to pick up the pre-course study packet?

I am attending the pre-course in June myself.

I graduated from there about 2 years ago now. It was definitely a good idea for you to take a&p prior to starting there as they hit that stuff hard...like really hard. Try not to freak out about how hard the program's supposed to be as the course content is not conceptually difficult (like advanced math or physics. Or something like that). It's just large volume of material to cover and internalize in a short period of time (too short). Thus anyone can do it, it just takes dedication and committing to a routine for studying. Honestly the most difficult concepts you're going to have are the a&p and pharmacology blocks...and possibility medical math (but really this is just basic algebra at most). The best advice I can give is to gain as much mastery over a&p as you can and don't focus so much on trying to memorize signs & symptoms and such.
