This was Kaustikos's response to it... and I couldn't agree more.

Cure the disease, don’t just take care of the symptoms. What should be done? Look at your criteria for admissions and see what you’re doing wrong. I won’t say you’re not accepting great students. No, aside from a few of the neurotic psychopaths you allow, I’ll stand by the fact that schools definitely choose students that, for the most part, become competent physicians. However, you’re attempting to produce competent physicians that are supposed to reserve a moment/portion of their time for emotions and empathy. Unfortunately, I don’t see that happening with what makes the cut for matriculants; 4.0 GPA and 30+ MCAT. These are the people who’ve been trained to work hard and overcome whatever challenges come their way AND THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT OBSTACLE. That’s how they’re trained/been trained since the beginning of time. They have this competitive spirit and high intelligence fit for being the one in charge to diagnose and treat diseases. What they don’t ever learn from the time that they step foot in college is to care/empathize/work with people. They volunteer, sure, and spin a good story to sell you guys. They even make a great essay that shows how caring and compassionate they have already been while in undergrad. But the fact is that the minor percentage of people who aren’t lying/truly give a damn about people are the ones that fight the uphill battle. They sacrifice their ability to excel academically (or do the best) by allowing emotions to get tangled into their pursuits. These are the ones you say you want, but realistically won’t make the cut. Not because they’re not smart enough, but because they aren’t what you accept. And now you’re going to solve the problem with creative writing classes…
 
My daily post count number has diminished greatly since I've been away. Thankfully, I can still maintain my lead on WYS and bookfreak using this iPad.

BWSTW you've climbed past 10th eh?

Um, yeah. 😳 It was SS's fault. He bumped me down from 7 to 8. I had to beat him and then I just couldn't stop. 😳
 
WYS is creeping up on me slowly... if I want to be the next CliffHuxtableDO... I need to spam harder.

I still have over 1,000 to even catch up to bookfreak!
