Wow....
 
This is why we need an official NIST approved sarcasm font for the internet. I thought my crappy smiley face would give off the jestful tone but I guess it didn't.

"smiley face"?! How is that even anything remotely close to a "face"? Much less a "smiley face"?!

I guess you're right. Now that I look more closely at it. It does resemble a Nazi Swastika . . .

lol... I just don't see how that resembles much of....anything. Just looks like a random bunch of characters to me.

Lol, I guess you can see it that way as well. I guess that's why they sue rorschach tests.

Well here is what I see < > are head phones

( ) the two sides of the face

^^ the two eyes

and the comma , is the $hit eating grin

haha, k, now I see it. I was thinking the < > were ears w/ the ^ ^ being eyes (like something anime-ish) and I figured the mouth was supposed to be the "," but it's just not quite big enough... but cool

Perception fail.
 
Or communication fail.


Emoticons were never meant to get all weird.

Don't worry about him, I have noticed in my short foray into the premedical forum, that people are extremely rude on the internet and say things that they would never dare say to you in person unless they knew you real well. The false sense of anonymity provides the necessary means for disinhibition of social norms. I even find myself acting rude on here and generally I am not that type of guy in real life. Most of the guys on here are not that type of guy either, so just take it with stride.
 
Top 10 percentile is a definite retake. Must be 99.9%tile+.
 
3.6/33 is solid, so get some interesting EC's and tons of research and you stand a decent chance at a top 20. Like others have said, if you were prepping high 30's then I'd consider retaking it. You shouldn't test much more than a couple points lower unless there are extenuating circumstances. It also helps if that 3.6 GPA is at University of Chicago or Stanford and not Western Idaho Valley State Community College University. You know, there are plenty of great schools that aren't top 20. Cincinnati, Baylor, USC, UVA, NYU, Dartmouth, Oregon, BU, and many others. A 33 will suffice at most of those (perhaps not Baylor though).

The one bad virus posted was an Asian variant (no lie).

"Perception fail" was not meant to be offensive nor rude. 😕 I apologize if you took it that way.

If you're talking about brutal honesty and saying what's on my mind, then yes, I am that type of guy, on here and in real life. Nice to meet you.

Let's lay this to rest guys. I don't think anyone's feelings were hurt (or at least I hope not -- if they were, I apologize). And you're right, bad virus, pre-allo can be a bit of a war zone. I know I've been guilty of joining in numerous times. I do think many of us act differently in the semi-anonymous environment of the internet. In some sense, I think it tells you something about human beings (i.e., that we are, perhaps, not so well-mannered, courteous or even "decent" naturally but only because of social pressures).

👍 for peace.

Lol, I had no clue it was an asian variant. Also, I am sorry, you are right, I totally made a wrong assumption. In other words, I myself had a perception fail as I assumed your comment was hostile. Thank you for clarifying it. You have earned my respect.

"To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character."

You, sir, have my respect. 👍

There was also an article about it in the NY Times. I read it a long time ago and have no clue why I know all of this.
