There's this kid at my lame state school who gets all Cs and Ds in pre-reqs. One day he added me on fb, so I checked out his info page. Turns out he is an anatomy TA at Harvard Medical School, and also works at Mass General as a CRNA, where one of his responsibilities is assisting with general surgical procedures. After reading that, I was really impressed with him. Who would have known?
Also, there was a girl in my biochem class who I overheard talking about how she didn't do well on her MCAT, so her plan was to "go to DO school first, and after she graduated then she would apply to medical school". She was nice, so I tried to explain to her that DO school is medical school, and that it is still difficult to get into. I told her that she should look into a kaplan course or something if she was having trouble with the MCAT, to which she replied that she already took the kaplan course 3 times and it only helped her the first time, wait for it... because she went from a 7 to a 10, but the third time she went back down to an 8 (total score, not section average) She said the application process is also BS, because the MCAT is just one part of the applicant, and she is "clearly qualified because she a solid B student". Fantastic, good luck to you.
