Do med schools want/prefer idealistic or down-to-earth applicants?
Would honest and realistic answers such as, "job stability/security (or money) is ONE of the motivations for why I choose Medicine" be frowned upon and why?
An instance that demonstrates that people go to Medicine for money is: the number of people choosing Primacy Care (PC) is tiny compared to those who choose specialties, and the more well-paying a specialty is, the more competitive it is to get in. Coincidence? I think not. So obviously these people are not honest on their applications and I wonder if you can fault them for not being honest because, doesn't the system want people to lie?
