40+ Mcat + 4.0 = 40+ Mcat + 3.8?

[specialflava]

is the equation true for most top tier med schools? i.e. do you get a box checked for "academic success" at a certain point, and after that point it really doesn't matter?

It's probably marginally better, but very very marginally.

a 4.0 in EE at MIT? Pffft, what a loser! No way, man. Find someone with more of a beer-chugging major, I need some new drinking buddies.

w/ a 3.8, you still have ballar status.

i <3 enzyme kinetics. try teaching it to someone taking biochem. the good old adage of "see one, do one, teach one" really works.

 

[Dr Durden]

I <3 yourmom's avatars, but not enzyme kinetics.

Lincoln Burrows gets really sick and has to go to the Harvard ICU. His little brother michael Scofield comes up with a pretty cool idea and busts a 40 mcat and 4.0 GPA to get into harvard and get his brother out of the hospital.

This time he got tattoos of physics equations on his back, and the map of the hospital covered by angels and demons

this stupid graph haunts me forever. ARGGG

 

[BleepTastic]

But Nurse Kellerman might kill Lincoln Burrows before Michael gets his clinical experience!!
