Hey everyone. Yes I am posting this on ross forum because apparently the MERP programs are combined between AUC and ross this year. Anyway I have been accepted to the MERP program for january 2013 semester (actually classes begin dec 4). Anyway I had some questions about this. After doing some research it turns out that the program is combined with ross MERP on the Bahama campus (Seahorse plaza, freeport). I tried contacting AUC admins about some info but they havent been picking up for some reason. I did try searching old forums but all the info is outdated by like 3 years. A lot changes in 3 years. From my knowledge here are some facts about it:
However that's all I know about it. Now I have some other questions if there are any students who have taken it or are in the jan '13 class
Thanks for any help guys and I am still deciding whether to go to MERP or not for AUC
- It is a 4 month program with 16 credits
- You take watered down med school version of Anatomy and Histology, Biochem, and molecular biology, Microbiology and Immunology, and finally Physio and Biophysics
- Program is offered on the Ross' old bahama Campus
However that's all I know about it. Now I have some other questions if there are any students who have taken it or are in the jan '13 class
- How does the tuition process work? When is it due and how can we get that money?
- Are there dorms on campus? If not where do we live and how do we pay for the monthly rent?
- The Seahorse plaze sounds like a pretty shady place to have school lol
- I heard there is a complicated process with the visa to the bahamas and require several good standing records and return tickets (***?)
- What if my dad wants to come drop me off, where does he stay?
- Where do we buy books? Where can I find past students who sell them?
Thanks for any help guys and I am still deciding whether to go to MERP or not for AUC
