Sure, I can agree with that...
What I
disagreed with was
this quote:
"secondaries represent the
last hurdle of a long journey for some people."
Secondaries are not the "last hurdle" in any of the possible categories.
Money spent? No.
Stress experienced? Nope.
Answers scripted? Hell no.
Competing against others? Ha!
Etc.
That said, interviews invites are positive and are, for all intents and purposes, the "last hurdle" that is preventing you from entering med school...unless you're talking of Georgetown, where the last hurdle will be scripting the perfect LOI post-interview.
Either way, we're really just arguing about petty gobbily gook... Now, back to obamacare.
