Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed my daily vlog on my everyday life as a medical student living in Antigua! What are some of your favourite activities to do on a daily basis? If you have any questions, leave them down below! ✨
I love working out, running, reading, meditating, praying, and preparing for medical school!
@@medicalminutia love it!!
I love how you take the time to show us around and tell us about your day, it’s so informative!
Thank you so much, happy to hear you enjoyed my vlog! 🥰🥰
hey im starting med 3 at aua next semester and yes the water is extremely bad. I started breaking out REALLY bad the first semester and the heat makes you want to eat sweets all the time but by med 2 youll get used to it. Also, yes understand the material however, find out what works best for you because sometimes memorization DEFINITELY HELPS especially in renal, youll see next semester when it comes to the nephron and its segments. Im rooting for you, I found your video just doing some research on aua content and came across your MUA video. I admire your tenacity to never give up on your dream. You will do great at AUA as long as you keep your head in the books and dont get caught up in campus drama. You got this! 💜💜
Thank you so much for those kind and motivating words!! Oh trust me, I saw the drama and I ran the other way, it’s a lot! It really takes determination to step away and just focus on your priority! Wishing you all the best and hope to cross paths with you on campus next semester! 🤍🤍
@NeishaG it absolutely does, as long as you're here for the right reasons, your social life may take a hit lol but trust it'll be worth it when you walk across that stage 😉 and yes I'll make sure to say hi whenever I see you on campus 💜
I am proud of you. Your video of being dismissed helped me with my own nursing dismissal. If you can do it, I can too!! Thank you for being an inspiration!
Thank you so so much! I'm really happy to hear that it helped you, that literally warms my heart! 🤗 You can get through this, keep pushing and you'll be amazing! 🥰
I loved this vlog! I can never get over how beautiful the campus looks and the island! It sure looks tiring being a medical student, I'm so proud of you for getting through day by day, even waking up at 5:30am! You got this girl, you're doing to make an amazing doctor! 💕
Thank you so much! Yes it’s so beautiful but I miss the snow time from time 😊 it is tiring but it’ll be worth it 🤍🫶🏽
Hey I'm riya. I went to AUA and it's definitely a lot better than MUA, also California approved. I am surprised they had you start with Med 1. But nonetheless good luck you got this. Thanks for the aua blogs brings back memories. Although for me getting through the board exams was tougher than the island and got my MD but never went to residency
Thank you so much & I completely agree! Glad to hear they bring back good memories! Can I ask why you never went into residency?
This is a good question and would be wondering the same thing@@NeishaG
I loved this video! These vlog-style videos are so great. Thank you for showing the real side of being a student in medical student. You Got This!
Thank you so much Maycee!! I've been really enjoying the vlog formatting as well! 🥰❤
I love this blog! I always enjoy watching your day, please keep these coming! Being a med student sounds exhausting, but you still always had a smile on your face no matter what! Never stop girl, you’re doing so great, I’m always routing for you! 🥰❤️💕
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it! It is exhausting, for sure it’s hard to manage studying and sleep but I try to stay positive no matter what, it’s the journey you need to enjoy! Thank you, I appreciate you! 🥰😊🤗
I was dismissed from veterinarian school and was now accepted into AUA. I hope that this experience is going to be better then mine at Ross.
I’m so sorry to hear about your dismissal 🤍 I hope you are doing well and I’m happy to hear you got accepted into AUA! Congratulations! I hope it’s a better experience for you as well! ☺️
I love this vlog so much. And what a great view you have in your school!! The premises of your new school is very cool actually. My school is located within the city and its just buildings and houses everywhere :(. And we are the same with regards the water and weather, I live in a tropical country here in Asia, and I would never get use to the hot weather lol. Btw, congratulations on your new car!
Thank you so much, appreciate the kind feedback! Oh how I miss the city life! The tropical weather is nice but I do miss the cold! Thank you and of course, you’re very welcome! We all go through hard times and all we can do best is to support one another 🤍🤗
A friend moved to and became a resident in texas. So much easier to get into medical school in Texas. Carribean is very risky i feel. You'll be perfect to open a beauty clinic needing a doctor in the future, even as an side hustle. Fyi North cal nurses can make 200k usd/year. Many 1 year post bac nursing degree programs too. A friend dismissed from med school did that.
Your videos are awesome, and your story is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this amazing journey through medicine!
As a prospective AUA candidate currently going through the application process, I was wondering if we might be able to connect and discuss any advice you might have for me, especially regarding the best resources and strategies for success at your medical school :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my videos! Yes I do! I have a video I’m planning to film once the semester is over discussing study habits and resources I recommend! ☺️
Great video, really nice to hear things are going well at your new school! Remember to get lots of rest (even though I know it's hard with everything you got to do!) Keep it up!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Aha I try but getting sleep is nearly impossible 😅
I start med school in July. Maybe we’ll be coresidents someday, if you go to the US for residency. My school requires suits though, not scrubs 😢
Just remember it’s all about the grind and the grades! In my personal opinion, don’t believe them about being well rounded, just keep your head down and crush everything till Step 1!!!
Goodluck & congrats on getting into medical school! Knock it put in those suits! :)
Thank you so much! It’s all about crushing the step!
I started med school in January and half my hair has fallen out. I am also on isotretinoin and came off the pill. But the dermatologist thinks its stress related. It's so annoying. I wish it would stop! Anyway, just wanted to share that because I know how much it sucks. 😊
Honestly same!! I’m in the same boat as you and my dermatologist thinks it’s a mix of stress and maybe the heat and water. All I know is I’m bringing a water filter for next semester so hopefully that helps with my breakouts and hair fallout 🥲
Love the content! Current MS-1, are all your classes mandatory to attend? I personally watch lectures live from home and only attend class for group assignments, quizzes, and exams of course. If your school records all your lectures you can save a lot of time with traveling and everything and maybe change the way you study by watching them live at home. Totally understandable if you learn better by going to class though! To each their own :)
Thank you so much for watching! Our lectures aren’t mandatory, but I personally choose to go to school for lectures! I personally find that I’m not distracted on my phone and such & can focus a lot better at school. And if I have questions I can go right after & ask! Plus I did do online lectures for a year and a half at my old medical school, and I just prefer a different environment to learn! But thank you for the suggestion! Who knows, maybe next semester it may be different! ☺️
Neisha, you’re so cute!! Love this vlog. & I love your journey, question: how do you manage ur expenses while down there? I may be abroad for work at some point so I need some tips on that department 😅
Also, I love that ur studying has focused more on understanding versus memorizing. This is a recent realization I came to as well with my nursing studies, and it definitely has helped tremendously!! I’m able to actually retain the info way better now 👍
Best of luck with everything!!
Aww thank you girlie! I really appreciate it! Oh girl! It's a lot to manage expenses! I usually keep track of my utilities and rent, and keep the receipts of my groceries so I know what I'm buying and spending all the time, but it's very pricy down here with everything being imported!
And thank you! I really had to understand a lot more material as things are taught in greater depth here and the questions are on another level too! I'm happy to hear it has worked for you too! I saw you passed your exam as well, congratulations! Im very proud of you and let me know if you have any other questions about living abroad, I know how overwhelming it can be! 💕🤗
Do you have to start from scratch again in medical schools 🤔. Because you were almost done before?
Yes, unfortunately I do have to start again from MED1.
I was waiting for this video in so long.
I love comments like this 🤍
Did you make a video detailing why you left MUA? If you didn't, mind give a brief reason why? I've looked at MUA myself but I'd love to hear about your experience.
Yes I did! I’ve attached the link for you! th-cam.com/video/84A0P4dM-20/w-d-xo.html
Get in the habit of leaving your bacmgs by the front door so you can remember to take them to the car next time you go out. Even if you're not going grocery shopping, at least they'll be in the car
Thanks for that! I ended up developing the habit of leaving them in the trunk of my car cuz even if they’re at the front door, I always forget them! 😅
Do you have to start all over? Or do you start in year 3 or 4 medical school? I hope you do not have to start from 1st year again!
I do unfortunately have to restart again from MED1
Do you guys have rotations at mayo clinic as well ?😊
I’m not sure, I haven’t really looked into rotations until after I take step, but once I find out, I’ll let you know!
Hello , I am Manish and I have completed my MBBS and I want to pursue my master degree in Surgery(MS). Do AUA provides full scholarships for PG in Surgery(MS)?If yes then what are the conditions applied and how to get?
I’m not sure about that. It’s best to contact an advisor from their website to find out more information.
If I come to Antigua Medicine university..
Can I find the part time job...and wt u think can I manage the time with my studies...
To be honest I’m not too sure, I’m not aware of any students having part time jobs here other than maybe a side business online. It would be really hard to manage actually working in Antigua and going to school because of how fast paced and rigorous the amount of material you need to study would be. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s your call!
Wow, $33 for that box of sushi? Those prices are wild.
That’s in EC (Eastern Dollars).
You are one busy girl! Hang in there! 👍
Thank you!! ☺️
Really wanted to pursue medicine in AUA!!!! Thanks for this 💜
You’re so welcome!
I’m from the Caribbean and really want to go to med school. How is this school is it accredited and good ?
It’s accredited and so far it’s been good!
It is accepted but you might not able to do residency at desired location. Many residency preceptor score applicants from 0 to 10 on their school, their race, grade in school, how fresh out of the school. Check out youtube video's about residencies to learn more.
You might wanna edit the video and remove the anatomy lab part. The “no camera in lab” rule is very strict, and it might not be a good idea for someone from admin or faculty to see it. Otherwise, great video
I took the video way before the session had started & were able to use our cameras during the lab to take photos. They enforce the no phones during the sessions but you’re able to use it prior
Awesome! I truly enjoy your videos, keep it up
@@frankwilson1545 Thank you so much, appreciate you looking out!
how many hours need to study every day ?
I would say about 6 hours a day, at least for me, and on weekends I study about 12 hours a day. But it varies for everyone depending on how you study
Thanks !
I must admit I miss the island but don’t miss AUA one bit.
LOL I can understand that 100%! But island life isn’t for me 😅
Can you please tell about the ongoing admissions are they still going on ?
I would call the advisors on their website to be informed about that. I have no role or information about admissions in general. Everything is on their website!
@@NeishaG ok thanks 😊, btw nice channel keep going 👍👍
How much is rent on an average per month
Back in campus off-campus housing, it was a little over $5kUS, I think around $5.5k not including utilities
How much were the groceries? $50 for 10 Kcups is very expensive
It’s in Eastern Caribbean Dollars so that would be $25 CAD. Still expensive
Great video!!
Thank you so much! 🤗
Do you have any thoughts about UHSA?
Unfortunately I don’t have much information on that school
@@NeishaG ok. Thanks. I just gotten admitted there and should be on the island in a few couple of days
I'm looking forward to take addmission in AUA and I'm glad you make sach a great and informative blog's...
Honestly you are helping me alot...
Do you think i should take admission in there by your experience...😊
How they treat Indian students..??
A small guidance can help my med career soo please reply...❤
Love your blogs..❤
Specially my little sister is sch a great fan of yours probably she learnt doing makeup 😂❤
Rolling admissions going on right now for 2023 batch
you got this!
i went to aua also , i am currently a PGy2 resident in IM , if you have any questions let me know
Thank you so much! Do you have Instagram?
Thank you!! ☺️
Great job sweetie! ❤
Thank you!! ♥️
So happy for you neisha
Thank you so much! 🤍
Hi Neisha, how much are you paying monthly for the car and who did you use to rent from.
If you send me a dm on Instagram, I can send you his information!
What did you get on the MCAT and how did you study?
I took the MCAT back in 2021! I didn’t score as high (I don’t rmbr off the top of my head). But I studied through Princeton reviews!
@@NeishaG thanks!
How much does it cost ??
I’ll be doing an expense video at the end of the semester, stay tuned!
Good luck Neisha!
Thank you!
Hello what's the total course fee for an Indian student??
I would contact the advisor on their website to find out. I’m not a part of the admissions committee or have that information on hand. Most of the info can be found on the AUA website.
Oops, you got kicked out again. Is this 3rd or 4th university?. Make sure you dont kicked out from this university again, concentrate on planned study. All the best
I never got kicked out from here. This is my second medical school following the occurrence of MUA (which was my first).
Thats good, why dont you opt for EU Universities?. There your credits get transferred and dnt have to start over again?
@@mrhospitalityservices9517 no med school that I'm aware of does credit transfers. You would always have to start from the year you failed and if you moved schools, you would have to start from the start.
Maybe try filtering your water before washing you face and hair?
I need to get a water head filter for my shower but we have to move out after a semester from campus housing so I’m just waiting and trying alternatives in the meantime 😅
Only rich are living
If only I had a million dollars to pay off my loans 🥲🥲
