M3 Schedule

It's finally that time of year when the administration has decided that we don't have nearly enough stress and things to worry about. It's time to make our our schedule for third year.

Now, this is a very complicated process. It is not as simple as signing up for the classes you want. There are 8 pre-set schedule options that one hundred plus medical students are vieing for, and names are chosen randomly for selection order. So a strategy must be chosen wisely. Do you rank the schedules in order of the most appealing to you? Do you try to plan around an upcoming event? Or do you try to swing being on the same rotations as your friends?

Any upperclassman has a bagful of tips, tricks, and advice to offer, but I truly think my sister gave the best. She told me, "Eh, don't worry about it. It's a crapshoot. You probably won't get what you want anyway, and you'll just have to make it work." (Not a direct quote, or she'd be suing Tim Gunn for her catch phrase...)
