It keeps telling me that the form has been discontinued. I guess we need to contact student services?

I'm really excited for orientation! The drive from Alaska that I start this weekend...not so much.
Wow. That is a HEFTY drive.
3300 miles! YASSS. The goal is 5 days.

I have a good friend and classmate from Alaska too! Not sure if he drove here but still, wow, makes my drive from CA chump change haha.
If any of you have any more questions feel free to post em here. We will try our best to answer them!
We needed ours the first week of classes.Hey guys, quick question. Do I really need to get a medical kit as soon as possible? I saw lots of people selling them on FB and just wondering if its ok for me to wait until student loans kick in.
I got one that ended up not having a bag...is there a place to get one separate?I also recommend paying for the bag as well.

I dont think you need a the bag part honestly.

Where do people buy the kits new and what's the average cost?If you're organized enough to keep all your tools in one spot and know where they are then sure. But personally I have all my tools in a bag and there's where I know they are and that provides me some solace lol.

Could probably just use any old bag to keep your stuff together though....? Haha
The point is that having a big bag that's just for your tools will make your life extremely easier. You don't want to have your KCC day and realize you forgot a random tool back home or etc.
If you're saying you need a dedicated bag for your medical equipment, I agree with you and that was how I intended that post. I don't think anyone needs to get a specific KCU medical kit bag for their medical tools.
I wouldn't pay for some specific medical bag when I have many other equally useful bags just laying around

But how will people know I'm cool and important and smart at the grocery store if I'm carrying around an unmarked bag full of medical equipment??????

Does anyone (@AlteredScale @SynapticDoctah @Higherprimate @Drrrrrr. Celty ) remember about how long the White Coat Ceremony lasted last year? Trying to help family book flights. Also, is "heavy hors d’oeuvres" like a light lunch or...?
It was a few hours last year. I don't remember exactly how long.
They had sandwiches and salads and stuff at school for lunch.

Well dang, I was really hoping Apple would show the new MacBook pro today at wwdc, but looks like it is strictly software.
So what do y'all think, should I go ahead and get the MacBook pro now, or wait until late July?

I was thinking the same thing as you, but the sales tax holiday in my state isn't till after we start.
Also I have been a PC user my whole life, minus the iPhone, so I was thinking it might be best to get the pro soon so I can start becoming proficient with it before classes start.
I gotcha. Well I'm not much of a gamer except for Total War: Rome lol. But I was thinking I should wait to get the newest model for increased longevity to get me through the next 5 years and into residency (if I get in of course).
Their upgrade from Haswell to Skylake isn't really going to bring major increases i.e tops 10% CPU improvement. Likewise the AMD Polaris GPUs on the higher ends are still going to be low ends like m470x which will probably preform about like a gtx 850m or at best a 860m ( Though with the ventilation and thermal issues it'll be lucky to hit 850m preformance in productivity or even gaming on windows os).
Haha! Well I'm incoming cob student, so I hope I will do well enough to get accepted right into the com. So total it will be 5 years for the MS+DO.

I know this computer will be totally unnecessary for school, but for the 27 inch iMAC, is it worth it to get the upgrade to 1TB Flash, The RAM upgrade and the i7 upgrade?

If you're the type of person who uses their computer for music, vidoes, and facebook then no. I would upgrade to 16gbs of ram, but 1tb of flash will not make loading safari or itunes faster. It will make running photoshop or loading bigger computer files faster, but the 2tb fusion drive has a 240 gb SSD partition when I last did my research into it. Likewise the i5 v.s i7 will not be noticeable unless you use hyper-threading dependent programs like adobe, encoding, opengl/cl, etc.
I don't want to be that guy who basically tells everyone to go use a windows computer, because I really do like macs. But the iMacs suffer not only from the same issues that all, all in one computers do ( Poor thermals, not enough space for stuff), but they are not upgradable and their tech is priced at a point that you could go to a boutique builder that makes custom computers and get a full computer with the newest generation tech. But mind you, I game moderately and as such I need a gpu and I enjoy good thermals and what not.
Thanks for the info. For the most part, I will use the computer for videos, music and browsing the internet. I really like the SSD on my laptop so I have been leaning towards that. Do you think the 512 SSD is enough storage to get me through medical school? When I was looking at the 2 TB fusion I thought I saw that it only comes with 128 TB of flash.
Unless you are a gamer, the i7 may not be with the price of upgrade. Ram is that machine is user installable, meaning you may get more bang for the buck not getting apple ram pre installed. The flash storage is always a nice option though.
As a side note, any Mac purchase right now also qualifies for a free pair of beats wireless headphones (since we are students).

On an unrelated note, what books, if any, should I get prior to loan disbursement? There is a bookstore that's serves the medical college in town going out of business and I can score some deals in the next couple of weeks. For example, I bought a new copy of Panini's biochem for 8 bucks and dubin's ekg for 4.
