ITs that time in the cycle when people dont get their way and looks for a OTHER to blame for their short coming.
JK, but I get what you mean lol.
Very true. I keep telling myself to do what's best for me, but they keep inserting their opinions. After second look I'll just choose and call it a day.
So does this mean you're looking to date them "up north rural black folk?"JK, but I get what you mean lol.

Tinderella....for the win.We already kinda talked about this but I like lists so here is my tentative ranking:
1.) Happiness. Where I felt the most at ease and where I think I could strive the most. Small class size is a plus
2.) Institutional track record of placing students in competitive specialties in East coast/NE and California. Gunners gonna gun lmao
3.) strength of clinical sites and affiliates
4.) Financial package
5.) ~Social scene/Dating options bc I can't be tinderella for much long lmao jk but like lowkey not kidding at all
they just aim for the absolute bare minimum when it comes to their grades and volunteering activities and I really hate that mentality.I just wanted to say congrats to all of you!!!! You guys have gotten into so many amazing schools, I like to read through this thread on and off even though I'm not applying yet because it's just truly so motivating to see everyone here doing so well
I go to a school with quite a few minorities and I don't personally know a single one who has achieved anywhere near what you all have done. It's probably just my school, but most minorities at my school get weeded out by pre-req's, very few actually take the MCAT and most end up not doing well the first time and giving up, the very few that I do know who are still trying to apply have such incredibly low standards
So I just wanted to say thank you, because all of you are rockstars and I'm so proud of you guys
Just to echo what was said, don't let other minorities determine your story. I actually go to a similar school as @Lollygag and I know only one other minority who has been accepted to med school. I always see this as an opportunity to push that ceiling (sometimes a self-imposed one) a little higher and motivate others to get to that level of excellence. Someone has to be a pioneer, right?Thank you! Don't let the actions of others, especially other minorities discourage you. I was the only URM in all my science classes all 4 years and the first to be accepted to med school in over 10 years according to my professors. Just keep in mind that you are competing with some of the brightest minds for acceptances and let the paranoia/hunger of wanting to be good enough motivate you.
Good luck!

I guess the atmosphere of my school isn't as uncommon as I thought it was lol don't worry though I'm gonna keep pushing! There's definitely days where I feel very discouraged because of the atmosphere of my school but you guys are right, I just have to set standards for myself and keep working hard. I know this is what I want to do so I'll just keep working at it and I'll end up where I'm meant to be. Thank you for all your encouraging words 
Congratulations! I knew you would get the best!
Wow!!!! Slayer keep slaying! !!!
That's incredible! Ahh so happy for you!
If I didn't already know otherwise I would have guessed you were African....*woman
Thanks everyone! My mom's response "I'm so proud of me". As in, it's her accomplishment for giving birth to me.
