"Funny quotes from 'less informed' pre-meds," On-Topic Edition

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Not stupid, mostly lazy, winch is worse in my book.

Taking post-bacc classes at a local state school two years ago. Pre-med advisor suggests I arrange a mcat study group. Message everyone. Seven people commit. Show up to the library. No one there. Wait. No one. Give up after 15 minutes, go study on my own. Guy walks in 45 minutes late to study.

This is the yield at my bush league state school. 45 minutes late, or no showing.

Home boy who shows up wants to study ochem instead. Cool. Start studying, dude drops that he hasn't read the book or done practice problems all semester. Only wants to do practice problems, manages to get most wrong. Show him the right answers. Afterward he says "Oh of course!" "Oh, obviously." "Guess I overthought that one!" "Indubitably."

"Indubitably."

Who says indubitably. Am I being pranked? Is Jamie Kennedy about to jump out?

Credit where it's due, guy has dope research, seems smart, if only half as smart as he thinks he is. Ask where he wants to go. Harvard is his target, is unwilling to go to any school outside of the top 10.

Fast forward two years. I actually don't have a follow up. But I seriously hope indubitably got into Harvard.
Lazy and entitled. Terrible, terrible qualities.

This isn't so much about pre-med as it is about OChem/lab partner rant. I think you guys and girls will enjoy it though.

My lab partner is a pre-med, and she has a nasty habit of never doing the Orgo prelabs/sleeping through Orgolab lecture. She will come into lab, say she was busy with something else/has too much work going on etc., and then spend the first 30 minutes of the lab figuring out what to do and then do her prelab....while everyone else is getting the reaction started.

But here is where it gets good:

She comes in wearing a dress (not allowed during lab for chemical safety). Lab monitor sees and tells her to go change.

She: Okay! I've just been super busy with my reports and exams. I just typed up the last one due today an hour ago in the library and then ran down here.

-Lab Monitor Leaves-

She: What is that old fossil's problem? It's not like I'm going to get chemical stains/burns on my amazing dress.

-Later in Lab, while she is holding the flask because we are putting the ingredients in-

She: man, I am so hungover. My roommate and I didn't get back till 3am last night....(and then she loses control of the flask and spills some reagent over me)

Me: *thinking what have I done to deserve this*

-Still later in lab-
She: okay, can you get the methanol now for us to add?
Me: yep, it's ready but we add water first.
She: are you sure? *goes to check the procedure because she did not do the prelab. Thumbs through it for 5 minutes* Oh, you are right. Ok, proceed.

Thankfully this was our 2 nd to last lab. One more to go, and then it's see ya for life!

“It is incredible how important doctors our to our society and how they help individuals live up to their full potential in life. I hope to inspire and help others fulfill their best selves as I do my best to become the top doctor in the nation in my future,” says Abraham.
Like Dr. Alvarez, I hope to study aesthetic surgery and bring more health and happiness to this world through my future top clients as Dr. Alvarez has done.” And it sounds like the star has big goals. “I look forward to adding a doctorate to my other degrees and expanding into another field. I have a lot of passion and experience with aesthetic surgery and look forward to helping men and women all over the world,” she tells us.

Just heard a guy in a medical laboratory science bachelor's program refer to himself as a "full-time medical student" :smack:

I'm an MLS student and I've had friends who were unfamiliar with it refer to me as a "medical student"...

It's incredible that she thinks she could do anything at all in the professional realm. EVEN if she got the scores, the girl has publicly making an *** out of herself for years. To make matters worse, she made a sex tape that is a the 3rd most googled item behind "what is....".

I mean I don't give a **** if you do porn, I really don't. But I have a feeling that the fact that it could take me about 2 seconds to find a video of her doing ATM isn't going to be viewed in a positive light from adcoms. Plus she's been actin a fool on television for a long time, no school wants that kinda liability.

Something that has developed into a pet peeve of mine after hearing these few statements in the past two weeks:

"I want to be a cardiologist" -premed with zero experience
"I'm going to be a neurosurgeon"-premed with zero experience

I swear if I hear another "I'm going to be" or "I want to be some specialty" I'm going to pull my hair out. One sounds much more intelligent and open-minded if you say "right now I'm interested in cardiology but that may change." For the love of god, end the career-oriented myopia. Or if you're going to speak about a specialty at the very least have some experience with it.... Life isn't television.
AMEN...this irks me so much for some reason

I can't find the words to explain how I feel bout this.

I live in Las Vegas, and I swear no more than six months ago I saw a billboard announcing she would be stripping at one of the local gentleman's clubs.

She's just going to simply add a doctorate? lol. Yeah, that'll be a walk in the park; not.

I'm a discussion group leader for a genetics class and one of my students emailed the professor something along the lines of "I'm always drinking these protein shakes, but when I look up the ingredients I don't see anything about stop codons. I really want to make sure I'm getting my essential stop codons so do you have any suggestions of what I can take?" She questioned my ability to lead the group after this...

Today in my Bio class:
Prof:"I hope everyone has been studying for the Exam on Friday."
Premed:"I actually was going to ask if you could move the exam because I haven't studied at all."
Prof:*awkwardly laughs* " That's a good one. You do know this test is 30% of your grade?"
Premed:"Yeah, but I have more important things to do."

The prof then kicks the student out of lecture (first time I've ever actually seen that happen) and tells him not to bother showing up for the exam.

Not exactly a quote, but a funny situation in my microbial metabolism class last Fall.
The professor liked me because I actually cared about the material (class was 90% premed who complained how boring it was) and he showed me an email from a student (blanked out the name) saying he was set to graduate, but got an F in the class so he couldn't graduate and was begging him for a C. The professor was there like TF (he cursed a lot), this class isn't that hard.
The class was also set up to where 25% of your grade was based on attendance (for pop quiz and assigned hw) and he brought up how a student never went to class, got 100% on all tests, and got a 75% in class. Kid was like "I know material, give me A" and prof said "you can't follow directions and you know 25% of grade is attendance, you're stupid!"

Never fear. In a very short time, she will realize that, although she could have been a fantastic plastic surgeon, the scheduling conflicts will take away too much from her other important interests. Her ego will be salvaged, and it isn't as if the press will report her failure to follow through on her prior ambitions. "I'm going to be a doctor" makes news. "I decided to spend more time with my family" doesn't so much, unless you are resigning public office.

My dad is a professor and he told me once an overly zealous student really wanted to be in his class despite it being full. He told the student that it was the administration that set the size and he couldn't let him in. However the student took the "show up to class anyway and try to get in" strategy way too far. He kept showing up to classes and taking exams the whole semester (despite being told repeatedly he wasn't in the class). At the end of the semester he didn't get a grade. For some reason he was surprised/mad about this.

Some people have gone their entire lives getting their way. Being around to witness the first time they are really faced with an insurmountable barrier is priceless. It is like they cannot grasp that merely wanting a thing does not grant them access to it. Sadly, this rarely brings with it the insight that this is a common experience for most other people. Rather than feeling empathy with others who have been blocked by circumstance, they double down on their entitlement and get angry that they were told, "No." Like, don't you even know who they are?

Sorry, there is nothing remotely funny about this. It is just something I have seen a lot of in the past few years, and it seems to happen especially often among a certain subset of pre-meds.

To be honest were I an adcom I would actively look for someone experiencing a significant setback. Whether that's a low grade (not a string of them of course but a setback) or a personal failure. I have serious doubts in a decent chunk of premeds that they can handle failure, and medicine will certainly be filled with personal, heartbreaking failures.

We learn from past experiences. Someone who has gone their entire life getting their way cannot really be blamed for that fact, nor can or should they be expected to instantly recognize that this is not the way most people experience life. Of course you are going to get angry and throw a tantrum the first time someone tells you "no." It's just that most of us experienced that when we were three.

I would have emailed the professor and told them to respond saying:

I think your shakes are missing start codons too because you still haven't left DYEL status.

Kinda disagree with this tbh. Attendance grades are bull**** unless it's a small section. If it's a lecture, you're responsible for the material. Ace that and you're set. You shouldn't have to show up to class to stoke the professors ego.

Right. My point is that attendance shouldn't be a factor period. Unless it's a lab or discussion class. I had some classes that were 12 of us sitting around a table discussing reading from the week. There's no way that attendance/participation wasn't going to be a part of that. But in lecture classes?

My Biochem 301 professor was kinda like this. Every time there was a student disruption (generally some girls in the back laughing over a facebook post), he'd simply stop the lecture and stare at them until they were quiet again.

Once or twice he even sat down and pulled out his own iphone. It was pretty hilarious.

I have zero data to back this notion up, but I suspect that Adcoms will have a natural affinity for people who recover from early mistakes over those who are perfect all the way through. Americans love an underdog and come-from-behind stories. it's in our DNA!

She: okay, can you get the methanol now for us to add?
Me: yep, it's ready but we add water first.

Thankfully this was our 2 nd to last lab. One more to go, and then it's see ya for life!

Oh god, this reminds me of a guy who was in the same organic lab section as mine. He didn't show up for the first two labs (FYI, he wasn't a late addition to the course), strolls into third lab 15 minutes late. He would show up late to every lab for the rest of the semester, leave a water bottle that he periodically drank from on his lab bench (even though the TA told him it was against the rules), brought his dinner (which he also left on the lab bench) towards the end of the semester. He also tried to convince the TA that he had permission to turn in all of his post-lab reports 1 week late (without penalty). The gem was when his partner (which I absolutely felt bad for & deserved an award for patience) had to spend >10min explaining what polar means during our TLC lab. Not sure if he was pre-med but always wondered how he passed gen. chem.

Just some background: There are 4 MD schools in our state and 1 DO school. The "X" school mentioned below is the 3rd best school in our state, which any informed pre-med from our university would be ecstatic to get into.

Oh btw this girl is a junior and is I think one year older than me. I think she's 21 or something. One would think she would have figured out how hard it is to get accepted into even one med school by now...

After our Kaplan on site MCAT course:
Me: So what medical schools are you going to apply to?
Pre-med girl: Y and Z schools (1st and 2nd med school in our state)
Me: You're not going to apply to X school?
Pre-med girl: No, I asked them and was told they don't do research so I'm not applying.
Me: Oh okay....

The X school does have research at their medical school, they're just not research-focused like some medical schools are. And she got a 482 (equivalent to a 10 on the old mcat I think) on her mcat diagnostic....
