Would you eat one for a derm residency?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
One hot dog is nothing. I'd give Takeru Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut a run for their money.
SEE ME June 1st... At the first annual....
AMCAS POOP-DOG EATING CONTEST (APDEC)™
Killing big pharma one question at a time.
Dude I'm accepted and would still do it.
Does it still count if I vomit
Do I have to finish the buns too?
No it's not. I didn't get into my first choice. My first choice would make my life soooooo much less stressful right now.
What was your top choice and where are you going? Also, where do you live and what's your SSN?
Damn... 5 minutes to eat a poop hot dog? Id scarf that sucker down in about a minute and be done with it. LOOOOOL
Without. Any. Milk.
*gasp* sorry to keep you waiting, full ride for you sir
As a GPA redeemer myself, sadly, I have to say that this is spot on
I know about that climb very well from personal experience, having had >240 undergrad credits and >30 SMP grad credits. At times, the hot dog option sounds appealing.

What a ****TY choiceI'd rather go with my number 2 (
I think it's a good metaphor for younger millennials being more competitive but simultaneously less proud of success through hard work and more apt to take shortcuts. Success without pride or dignity is still success in their eyes.
Success without pride is still preferable to no success at all. And increasingly in our society, that's the choice that many must make.
You forgot dignity. I'm saying they're often willing to give both up, should have used an and qualifier. It's base, blind ambition, and it's rooted in an overly inflated sense of self-importance that would be shattered without having something tangible to show for it. Prior generations would say that dignity is of primary importance and that one should have pride in hard work and a job well done, and that they'd rather live a middle class life than give those things up. But millennials all just want to be doctors, celebrities, and business elite, they want the image they were sold on TV that was bull**** for 98% of America, and they'll do whatever they have to do to get it even though many have never lived in that sphere and they don't even have the faintest idea what, exactly, it is that they're getting themselves into.
And then there's those of us that would say, "if Harvard wants me to eat a poop hotdog to attend because they don't believe my application holds its own weight then they can go **** themselves." Like, I'd literally say that to their face, I can't imagine any other logical response to such an offer. Human dignity is the most basic of human values, and essentially what human rights are built around; that anyone would sacrifice that for what amounts to a job is sickening on a deep moral level. I mean, I hate to get all serious about this joke of a thread, but it reflects a very bizarre new amoral compass that I fear will be the driving force of the elite in my lifetime, since I'm not much older than you.
) and I said the same thing. However, I am one of those very prideful people and I come from a long line of prideful women sooooo yeah. I would love to attend an ivy, but I would be extremely put off by any institution that would reduce it's applicants to something like this. It's poop. That's disgusting.
Like I agree with what you're saying here but...surely older generations suffer from the same proclivity? Like the middle aged employee who gets verbally abused by his/her boss and takes it b/c...well they want their job? Or President Trump, who has to play subservient little b***h (I had to censor that manually @WedgeDawg plz fix and give me participation trophy for noticing a minor error thanks
) to his creditors because otherwise he'd be bankrupted?
This is different. This is eating literal **** for no reason.Like I agree with what you're saying here but...surely older generations suffer from the same proclivity?

It's a hypothetical. No one is actually eating anything. I highly doubt 62% (the current response rate) of all medical applicants would actually eat a **** sandwich for Harvard. I highly doubt the true percentage would be significantly different from a group of older-generation aspirants for similarly desirable things.
