i love everything about this
It was all funny until this one:
21) Q: I'm 42 and married, and just now entering medical school. I've spent my whole life improving grades, retaking the MCAT, shadowing, volunteering, and researching to finally get to where I am today. It was long and hard, but I'm finally in! Am I not an inspiration to premeds everywhere?
A: Congratulations on your hard work! Now when you get out of residency, you can practice for 10 years before you die. You're a douche bag who's wasted a decade trying to fulfill his own dreams when he should have accepted defeat and started supporting his family by finding a decent-paying career, rather than forcing his wife to work two jobs to support your ass. Look on the bright side: at least your impending death after residency will get you out of those student loans.

Sorry, I'm going to agree while this (and the one about being a mom) are a bit harsh, it is still funny and more than a bit honest.
Anyone over the age of 35 that has applied to medical school and claims they have NOT stopped to look in the mirror and ask if the cost to their spouse/kids/checkbook is worth it is lying.
Doesn't make it right or wrong to do this, but does mean those not walking the same path haven't a clue what the decision really is like.
Agreed.
I alternate between praying for interviews and wondering if I'm a bad mom for wanting to take my time away from my kids.
Friggin' parent guilt .
Am I the only one that doesn't agree with #40??
The MD/BS people at my undergrad kick back, party, and have the greatest time of their lives because they don't have to take an MCAT and only need to retain a 3.5 GPA.
