•PS- the guy who took it cold and got a 34? ugh - what's up with THAT!?!•••••Well, it's a long story. Apparently, he'd been admitted into a 7 year program outta high school (HMPE at Northwestern, I believe) Anyway, he turned it down cause he wasn't sure at that age if medicine was for him. He took a lot of abuse from his family for turning it down as well. So he gets to college, figures out that he wants to do something in the sciences, just not medicine. Well, this doesn't sit well with the folks, (he's Asian, and being a physician in Asian culture is a BIG deal). So, essentially he just took the test to get his parents off his a$$. I guess they're hoping to convince him to apply, but he doesn't wanna waste his time. Not that he couldn't get in, but what's the point if you're not interested in it, right? My only regret is that I didn't have him actually study and take the damn test for me! :wink:
