... How many hours would you have to say? How does it rank among your other ECs?
Just thought it'd be a fun exercise in perspectiveToo many pointless threads.
Too many pointless threads.
If you're interested, take the discussion to the Social Thread. This is an unrealistic hypothetical and we have had quite a few such threads as of late that only serve to be a nuisance.Just thought it'd be a fun exercise in perspective

Perhaps a bit. But it's the same thing as the poop hot dog, how much money to not go to med school, nonsense. There is no reason to start such a thread. These topics are unrealistic. We can occupy ourselves in less disruptive ways than inundating pre allo with these pointless threads.even if it is hypothetical, which lots of threads are, harsh much? maybe letting your frustrations about other threads come over into this one?

I meant no ill will. I really don't think they should feel like sheit. Part of that reaction is up to them.yet you're still posting in many of those threads like the rest of us..
no need to make people feel like s*** for making one thread that they thought might be interesting.
Come out from under there. I apologize if I came off as being harsh. However, you must know better than to start threads posing such hypotheticals. It looks like you've been around for a while. Let's agree to think before we speak...and start threads.Sorry everyone if this wasn't the place to post this... Getting roasted here. Feel free to move, mods. Crawling under a rock now...
So let's keep the forum relevant. The trollish threads are occasionally fun, sure, but they do detract from the point of the forum.Lighten up. In all reality, SDN provided me with 90%+ of the useful information I got about medical school and the career as a whole.

Completely agree. Also, I feel like very few of the pre-meds at my uni are genuinely serious about medicine, so it's nice to be around a crowd with similar perspectives.Lighten up.

Pretty much this. I'll take the gunners over the students who have no idea what on earth is going on (although I do try and point them in the right direction)Completely agree.

It confounds me that people say they want to enter a specific field, but can't tell me one thing about it beyond lay man's trivia. You would think people would at least Google stuff.Pretty much this.

This confuses me so much. For instance a few months ago in class:It confounds me that people say they want to enter a specific field, but can't tell me one thing about it beyond lay man's trivia. You would think people would at least Google stuff.
I like neurology too. Yeah. I hear this nonsense all the time. I don't know how so many people just wing it.This confuses me so much. For instance a few months ago in class:
Me: Yeah, I mean I'm leaning towards neurology but obviously I cannot be too definitive on what I want to do without having my step 1 & 2 scores
Her: Yeah well I'm going into pediatric neurosurgery so I'll be raking in the dough
Me: You do realize that matching into a neurosurgery residency will require absolutely insane board scores and a bunch of research, right?
Her: I do research for all of my classes
Me: How?
Her: Like, studying, duh.
I should add that she failed out of the class after the first exam (low enough of a score that literally nothing would have saved her grade)
We thankfully have an incredibly well educated adcom advisor who is the professor of the pre-med class we have (you need this class to graduate with a biomed degree)I like neurology too. Yeah. I hear this nonsense all the time. I don't know how so many people just wing it.
I absolutely hate when people immediately brag about how much money they're supposedly going to make. It promptly makes me think, "welp, they're probably not getting in".This confuses me so much. For instance a few months ago in class:

The only time I ever mention doctor level income is when I'm bugging my brother about being a philosophy major.I absolutely hate when people immediately brag about how much money they're supposedly going to make. It promptly makes me think, "whelp, they're probably not getting in".
My condolences.The only time I ever mention doctor level income is when I'm bugging my brother about being a philosophy major.
lol! He actually wants to go into ministry. Either that or go for a PhD and teach.My condolences.

Well at least he has a rough plan. I wish him all the luck!lol! He actually wants to go into ministry. Either that or go for a PhD and teach.

Do I get a crown?I was on board until you maligned the poop hot dog thread, undoubtedly one of the most influential threads in SDN's history. Ergo, I dub you, officially, head troll.
