Oh i am so sorry i didn't take a tape recorder with me so i can have proof for you. Had i known before hand and since you are such an important person in my life i would have made sure that i recorded everything so i can provide proof for you.
Actually it was during the interview that one of the interviewers question in a condensending manner why i took some classes at a community college. Although i explained the reasons why (which btw made both the Hopkins and Yale interviewers to praise me about it) , he went on to say how stupid it was of me.
Wow, Sinai is now an OK school? A step up from obnoxious?
I've been at Sinai for a year now and I can honestly say that Sinai has great facilities. There are some really great and hard working faculty that I've had the pleasure to work with.
Really? Compared to what and which other places? How did you came to the conclusion that Sinai has "great" facilities?
450 dollars a month living near Sinai? Heh, you must be dreaming. The cost for living in Sinai's dorm is 500 dollars/month alone. Oh wait a minute, this is the same girl who says milk costs 10 bucks in NYC?
I said ~450 for rent in the area is nothing. I guess ~450 and 500 a month have huge differences. After all ~50 $ can make you or break you (esp in NY).
Oh and in case you didn't read properly i said it was a figure of speech. You need to contact your highschool English teacher ASAP and retake the courses. Good luck on VR cause you will badly need it.
Huge difference = Vandy is 95% white and Sinai isn't? Sinai has more diversity in one floor of it's hospital then Vandy has in the entire school and probably the entire area.
I've sat on the medical school lectures at Sinai and talked with many of the medical students and like I've said before, they love it at Sinai. Maybe they were wierd to you because they were down to earth people and were more worried about becoming good doctors then getting that Yale MBA (as you mentioned in an earlier post) to go along with that Yale MD?
You really are clueless aren't you? I said the students at Sinai were weird and their behaviour truly was. Wtf does that have anything to do with Vanderbilts diversity numbers? You want a different school... fine ... UChicago.
The students at Sinai made it sound as if they were taking underwater basket weaving. I don't care for people who say "oh i go to med school and i study 95% of my time" but at the same time i find people who claim that they have *plenty* of time to do things during med school weird. That's why i was compering Vanderbilt to Sinai. You want something closer to Sinais pass/fail system? Then look no further than Chicago. While i was interviewing there we were told that the students were in class from 8-5. How come Sinai gives you sooo much time?
Oh and is nice to see you forming stupid theories. So according to you everyone who decides to go after a dual degree then they are gonna make bad doctors. Hell why should i even become a doctor. I should have gone to Harvard, finish a basic BA and then work for Bain. 3 years later i would find myself at Wharton and IB.
Why on earth did i put myself through the rigorous WashU science courses and busted my ass to do research when all i care about is the moneymaking MBA.
Thumbs up to Sinai, thumbs down to you and your condescending attitude. I am quite surprised by such obnoxious behaviour, but then again maybe not. There are alot of obnoxious people on internet forums who blabber away bullcrap because they can get away with it.
Good luck. I'm sure you'll get into some great schools and it's nice to know that Sinai won't be one that you will be going to since it's so low on your list.
Condenscending for presenting the way things actually are? I am sorry that you are so much in love with your place of employment, that it has made you blind from truth.
Oh and it's also nice to see YOU comment on who posts BS on the internet and who doesn't. It is actually extremely funny because you have said the word "great" at least 5 times, yet you know jack s**t about anything.
Tell me mr/mrs smart what makes sinai great? Is it :
a) The match list? Cause it can't be compared to Duke/Harvard/Hopkins/WashU/Mayo
b) The intl opportunities during 4th year? Cause it can't be compared to Columbia.
c) The great education in terms of tuition? Cause it can't be compared to Baylor.
d) The association with a great hospital? Cause it can't be compared to Barnes Jewish, Mass General or Hopkins!
e) The rigorous enviroment ? Cause it can't be compared to Dartmouth or Vanderbilt.
f) The opportunities for research? Cause it can't be compared to Harvard/Stanford/Hopkins.
g) The great tour for applicants? Cause it can't be compared to WashU
h) Maybe the great Dean? Cause it can't be compared to Chicago.
What makes Sinai stand out and give it it's "greatness" ?
Here is the deal : First go through the process yourself. Look at other places and then come back and tell us about how GREAT a place is. You try to compare and give credits for things you have no clue about.
Cheers
