Did you even read my post? Trust me, there are some questions/responses to questions which can demonstrate cluelessness.nope, but nice try. asking questions means you know how to make use of resources available and use sdn and others to engage in discussions and see their POV to be better informed. Not getting that is an obvious sign of cluelessness. Asking lots of questions is part of learning.

Many questions have nothing to do with POV...they're simple, google-able facts. Others have been discussed so frequently (as in, multiple other active threads on the 1st page dealing with the exact topic) that posting them is a clear indication that OP is not even attempting to look around, read the forum, search, etc.
I ask tons of questions and speak up frequently in class and on this forum...but I also know how to use a search function.
So is proactively researching and figuring things out on your own. Of course, there's a certain subset of the forum who seems unable to do so.
loleven if you use the search function which I do, there are many points that arent specifically discussed in the previous topics.
Exactly. There's "give me your opinion" and then there is just "I don't feel like doing the research, please tell me the answers so I don't have to put any effort into making decisions about my own future"So is proactively researching and using judgment to figure things out on your own.

They're fairly easy to differentiate.

Me: "I'm studying for the MCAT right now, can I message you later?"
Her: "Yeah, I'm gonna start studying for that sometime soon..."
Me: "When are you taking it?"
Her: "August 15"
Either she is the ultimate in misinformed premed, or she walks with some kind of swag and demeanor that is on an entirely different intellectual level that I can comprehend lol.
Here is evidence for the apps my school (and gyngyn's) gets from people with single digit MCAT scores. No, not each category...for the entire exam!
People can and do perform well on the MCAT without months of studying. It's not as uncommon as you think (though still rare)[about a week ago, 7/11/14)

Her: so you're a premed! How exciting! So what grad school are you going to afterwards? Doctor school? Nursing school? Psych school?
Me: .....
Do you realize that a lot of high-stat applicants on here DO have well-rounded applications that, when reviewed holistically, make them very strong candidates apart from their stats?"medical schools do holistic reviews and want well-rounded candidates so it's more than gpa and mcat" *few days later after applying* "i got a 4.0 gpa and 40 mcat where the **** are my interviews?" ~ sdn

Your lack of self awareness is baffling.im merely quoting sdn the way it is. no need for any unnecessary realizations bro. though if claiming well-roundedness makes you feel better about your app, that's nice.

I scored a 30 on my very first practice test, so YES it can be done.
It's not frequent, but it is possible.
"if you study for the mcat and get under a 30 on the mcat you have a learning disability" ~sdn
"if heavy efforts got you a 29 on the MCAT then you'd better make friends with primary care" ~sdn's finest Dr. midlife
"many of us top 40+ mcat and 4.0 gpa candidates are well-rounded, we did one medical volunteering gig and we like...uh stuff and things, check out that well-roundness " ~ sdn
can you just stop this and let the thread return to what it was? This is getting tiresome.
Quoted for posterity.you mean how ******* awesome and right I am. I'm sdn's #1 shot-caller. i know it's hard for you to handle the facts at first but open wide and get used to it . your lack of awareness about sdn is amazing, but at least you're posting in the right thread with that comment .
Quoted for posterity.
I knew I shouldn't have clicked that 'Show Ignored Content' link...
Seriously, though, how do people get <15* on the MCAT? You must have learned absolutely nothing in college.
*Total score, obviously
Some people justify their lack of stats by thinking they have excellent ECs other people don't have. They don't realize there are literally tens of thousands of people with both better stats and much stronger ECs.

this thread is about funny quotes from less informed premeds. i'm posting hilarious quotes from ill-informed premeds. thread is serving it's purpose .
You should probably control your envy of rockstar applicants.
nah, they're about a rockstar and real as pamela anderson's boobs. lmao. i'm sure they appreciate your brown nosing though.
Ok now you're just trolling at this point.
lol nah. i dont talk ****, i just state the facts, yes lawd.

nah, he's been put on hold twice because med schools are ray charles to just stats.
This one's really hard, even with the new and improved 'Ignore' function! I can't help myself, I know it's there, hiding!Let's play the quiet game... Who can stay quiet about all that malarky the longest? Go.
U loseThis one's really hard, even with the new and improved 'Ignore' function! I can't help myself, I know it's there, hiding!
I'm OK with that.U lose
How ridiculously arrogant can you be that you think you can summarize my app with "just stats" given that you have never seen my app? This is just astounding.nah, he's been put on hold twice because med schools are ray charles to just stats.
