OK folks, a few of you would rather run to the aid of a fellow pre-med who has no experience in medicine than read the facts I finally had to spoon feed you; I get it.
For the record, this clown follows me to threads and tries to antagonize me until I drop the gloves a bit then complains that I've lost my objectivity and am a meanie. Call the Waaaamblance.
Calling someone out as an idiot seems more harsh than one pointing out an entirely baseless counter to someone's opinion.
Just as my previous posts to this character were met with blind support from what, 1 or 2 other members, I see the same knee jerk responses from a few members in this thread. The waaaambulance is on its way.
Let's keep this thread civil and intelligent.
Please post this to confirm your status: "I am a person that has never attended a med school" before you start your comments so that we know where to file the commentary in the future; it's going to help a lot of people reading through your posts.
Selectivity for DO school acceptance continues to go down as the slowly rising number of DO school applicants is matched up to a much higher number of spots for them.
The stats for successful applicants to DO school vary by a point or two for the MCAT, 0.2-0.3 for the GPAs. Even if you haven't attended your first biostats class in med school, you've got to see that the difference from year to year, MSAR to MSAR is not enough to base an entire discussion on. I even lowered myself to the level of quoting US News and World Report; wasn't that enough?
I may have to work this weekend but the 3 amigos defending themselves at all costs should take a break and relax a bit.
I sincerely hope that everyone, including the 3 premeds attached at the hip, get some rest and try to stay out of trouble. I've got no choice, I'm on the clock.
Maybe I'll go to the resident forum on my next break and post what it's like to be a chief; seems like some people like to follow that line of thinking. I may pick up some respect and camaraderie that way.
