Why?
You're deliberately being withholding/deceiving so that you can have a "haha gotcha" moment and feel superior.
Why?
Oh god, not this stuff again. We get it, you're a non-traditional. You have so much vast life experience that us traditional premeds can never even contemplate, and you'll be a superstar on the wards bc of it. Good grief.I have the wonderful experience of having a career behind me, of directing teams and working in the real world. I have had the great experience of teammates and managers taking credit for my work, while at the same time passing the blame to me whenever anything goes wrong. I wish an attending would come down on me. Public humiliation pales in comparison to an incompetent slackard getting reward for your hard work. If you consider these things difficult moments in life, then you have a lot yet to experience.
There's a lot more to criticize you about trust me.I deliberately didn't change my status, because I love it when people only have "pre-med" to use as a criticism.
Sweet, no competition from you then.
They are at the very end of a long long line. Behind all the US allopathic grads, behind all the DO grads who got competitive step scores, behind all the impressive IMG applicants, and yes even behind his peers from the same carribean med school that managed to do decent on Step 1. This person has to live with the stigma of getting dismissed from a US school. You can't just walk away from that.
I deliberately didn't change my status, because I love it when people only have "pre-med" to use as a criticism. It makes my day. I will keep it as pre-med into residency.
Haha of that I am sureThere's a lot more to criticize you about trust me.
This is one of the stupidest things I have read on this forum, and that is NO small feat.

Yes, I am. But it is not to feel superior, it is flush out those of you guys who just loved to look down your noses at people who are "underneath" you. "Pre-med" is used as a derogatory statement around here, and I find it distasteful. That is the very definition of "feeling superior".

Honestly as an MS1, I don't think an MS1/2 have much more to offer in terms of valuable advice and opinions vs. a premed besides what its like transitioning into medical school and how one was successful in class and Step 1. Preclinical is just go to class, study, then some doctoring, standardized patients and other b.s. sprinkled in. I don't really see much of a "gotcha moment" since Medical Students aren't really highly regarded either and still receive criticism, though we sure do enjoy our high horse .
Has anything changed? Do you have any reason to believe that you won't experience another episode of severe depression?
I haven't seen a recent post from OP. I would really love an update.
I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility to get a residency spot, especially if he makes connections. A family friend went to the caribbean, failed the USMLE Step 1 12 times (or so I was told), passed the 13th time, was kicked out of SGU, went to Ross, kicked out, and graduated from AUC. 7 years later, someone became the owner of the hospital he now does his residency in. Nearing his 40s, he's happy in family medicine.
Yeah, it's not a great path, but I honestly thinking getting to know the right people is the only hope.
Yeah, I'm very sure that number was BS. I mean, who would be so dim to take it this many times? I didn't hear it from him directly, but the owner of the hospital he is doing his residency at. He probably was exaggerating.You can take step 1 a dozen times?
