^No, a student posted a link and asked the staff to address it.
What did you expect them to say?
Does anyone know the attrition rate for Scholl and exactly about how many students they started with a given first year and how many are left during their second year?

The OP is completely wrong again in regards to the grade distribution... Only 7 people failed lower anatomy (From Professor of class), and there is absolutely no way that a third of the class failed micro and neuro. In our school if you fail two classes you are automatically dismissed. Even if students were doing that miserably, professors would curve because that would be too much tuition money lost for the school. If you fail two or more classes at our school it is 100% your own fault. For some reason some of the students at our school don't keep up with their classes and cram the night before the test, do poorly, and then blame the professor for making the test hard. Maybe your numbers make you feel better but they are way off.
yea I agree thats 7 too many. The reason I said only is because the OP said that only 50 out of 76 passed.
I really don't get someone failing LLA.
I mean...you're still in school, so obviously you didn't fail everything else and can achieve at /least/ the minimum required grades to remain in the program.
Additionally, this is the whole point of being in the program. If anything there should be a dramatic increase in effort and motivation when you /freaking finally/ get to start studying things that seem applicable.
If you fail LLA, what the hell were you doing there to begin with?
I think you mean mind bottling.... like when your mind is trapped in a bottle...good point, imagine passing biochem (which doesnt really matter as a practicing pod) only to fail LLA, mind boggling

"Actually matter?" All of the courses matter. Yes, LLA may be more "directly related" to our profession than biochemistry for example, but there are biochemistry principles which are key to understanding pharmacological properties of drugs you will be prescribing.
Probably going to venture out on a limb here and say that most doctors have no idea how the drugs they prescribe truly work. Realistically, if that were the case, MDs would be the people creating and distributing drugs, not pharmacists.
I didn't say we needed to know exactly how things worked in every minutia but we should have an idea of how they generally work. I would not want to see a doctor who is giving me a drug and he/she has no idea how it works. If you are going to prescribe something, you need to understand generally how it works, it's indications/contraindications and some of the more common complications.I'm not saying we have to be able to treat everything (no doctor does that) but be knowledgable enough to know the next few steps/who specifically to refer to.
Priorities.... LLA should be one of them... genetics.... not so much.

Ignorant comment.
You pre-pods don't know what you are talking about.
I will give you my experience at DMU. I started out of the gate like a boss. Biochem, Cell Bio, Path..."all Non-important" classes. Those classes really padded my GPA. I have never had a bad class, but eventually things start getting really close GPA-wise. At DMU you take all the pod specific courses 2nd semester 2nd year. By then, the average grade was 90 percent or so. I was still doing above average though. I have and am continuing to receive some great benefits due to my GPA. And guess what, it has nothing to do with my LLA or Pod Med Sx grades, it has everything to do with 1st year general medicine grades.
Moral of the story: Don't take anything for granted and don't ever get complacent. Like Dtrack said before, it isn't something you just "turn on"
EDIT: The sooner you pre-pods (soon to be 1st years) realize it is a game and how to play the game, the better off you will be. Good luck
Do pod schools have gunners???
Yes most definitely. Students want great residencies but students are also vying for scholarships in the P2-P4 years as well.
I think airbud just made several SDN viewers into gunners.
