Couldn't help but notice how much these "What are my chances?" threads resemble advertisements for used cars.

"I'm X years old in my Y year majoring in Whatever-ology" (make, model, year).
"My undergrad GPA sucks, I did a postbacc to make up for it, and I did really well on the MCAT" (high miles, re-built engine, new tranny).
"I have volunteered at Bloody Bodies Hospital once/week for 10 years, I started a shoe-tying club at my university, and I shadow my colorectal surgeon biweekly" (new paint job, new tires, recent tune-up).
[and then comes the kicker...]
"I have been arrested for possession of controlled substances, and have been convicted of assault and battery" (owned by a smoker, was in a rear-end collision).
"What are my chances for US MD/DO, and the Caribbean; or should I give up?" (asking for $X,XXX / OBO, will sell for parts; what's the salvage value?)
