I'm sure you would call them entitled if you were in their shoes. Why don't you and OP go have a love child just so we can sit back and see what kind of delusional human being it grows up to be...
 
@dermocrat88 is the one who said URM doesn't give an advantage... caused the low MCAT score thread to be closed. This thread doesn't surprise me a bit.

Lock incoming.

Or they got screened out at many schools due to this thing called "yield protection." In some cases, it is harder for someone with an outstanding score to get accepted, due to a perceived belief of adcoms that giving them an interview would be a waste.

I find that hard to believe. That's an amazing score. They shouldn't be penalized because of that. It has to be something else besides the score.

Nope to all three.
I don't need to brag to bunch of strangers who don't know me. That's a waste of my time, lol
I am completely connected to reality.
Trolling for what? What is the point of me trolling?
 
This post actually angered me to read.

You are completely delusional in every thread I have seen you post in so far. I pray for the patients you have to treat one day, and literally have no idea how you got the acceptances, or the success you did this cycle (but being URM doesn't help at all right??)

The fact you have been accepted, while TONS of other candidates much more qualified, with higher stats, better timelines of applications, and clearly better logic have not been accepted is a crime.

If there is one person I hate on SDN, it is certainly you. Troll or not, I despise you, and am disappointed you even have the stones to make such a post.

Did I ever say that it wasn't? Lol just saying that's not the only thing that matters. Geezus relax

Well, I'm just saying an individual capable of scoring a 37 on an MCAT is by and large more qualified to handle Medical School and Board exams. It's common knowledge and anyone who scores that would expect (and usually receive) an acceptance from somewhere.

@dermocrat88 can you just tell us what schools you got into instead of dancing around the names?

Not to be blunt, but I'm extremely curious.

From what I see from prior posts...UNC, and withdrew from Howard and SUNY Upstate last week. So it looks like OP is unhappy with UNC! 😵

If we don't know you, WHY THE F*** ARE YOU ASKING US FOR ADVICE ON SUCH A SERIOUS LIFE DECISION!?

I could seriously say some truthful, but offensive things about entitlement and the current admissions process for certain individuals like OP, but I will not put gasoline on the fire.

OP, get a grip. Take one of the acceptances and let someone else have the others.

Seems to me like this person has been on a seven-year charade as part of the best SDN troll of all-time. Let's just be grateful that we get to lie witness to greatness.

Bravo OP. :=|:-):

I feel extremely lucky that I'm didn't apply to Howard or UNC because I can't imagine what rejected/waitlisted applicants of these schools would feel when they see OP's thread.
 
I feel like emotions are really high with this post as well bc ppl are on waitlists....in the context of everything happening now with the admissions cycle...it comes off as ungrateful and naive....just pick the best school...school choice shouldn't define you...

I'm high on emotions over this because I also received three acceptances and lie awake at night thanking my lucky stars/questioning whether I deserved it when many of my friends are now in the process of reapplying.

I'm a 220 pound grown man who cried for thirty minutes when I got my first acceptance and was on the verge of tears when I called one of my schools to withdraw, because I was in love with the school, and withdrew merely because I fit my chosen school's mission statement and thought that it was appropriate.
 
OP I know how you feel but remember you can only attend one school. Why are you embarrassed? You've accomplished what a lot of people can only dream of! No offense but you're an older non trad... you should have thicker skin and enough life experience to realize that most things don't go as planned in life. You take what you get and make the best of it.

I think someone who can empathize with others as well as you could definitely deserves to be a doctor. That's what it is really about isn't it? Just to be able to understand a situation from all perspectives, including the patients', and provide a service that works the best for everyone.
 
Ok, what the hell, I'm gonna address the elephant in the room. Those who know me, know who I am and what I stand for, so I'm thick-skinned enough to do this, I feel.

Isn't it funny how URMs call someone with a 37 and zero acceptances "entitled" and "boring," yet scream the URM card?

As someone who was constantly bullied due to my ethnicity growing up, I HIGHLY resent you.

I didn't say you were entitled or boring. I said you deserved an acceptance just like anyone else.

Ehh OP wasn't calling anyone entitled. He may be delusional but don't accuse them of things they didn't do.
 
This must be a troll. No person with this personality / logic should be a doctor. They may lie / pretend to be a nice person during interview to get in, but hopefully, they will not reach the end of residency - too much entitlement to be successful in medicine training.

As the person who is being called "entitled" and "boring" I really appreciate what you are trying to stand up for me. But it will really ruffle lots of feathers. I do not care that someone on the internet called me these things because I know they are not true and I don't need to justify myself. My personal experiences (with regards to ethnicity and med school admissions) are much more than just my 37 MCAT score and I will not tell my life story simply to disprove an ignorant person on the internet. Again, I really appreciate what you are trying to do, but I don't think it's worth it to start a never-ending debate about ethnicity.
 
Did you apply to get into medical school? Cause if you did you succeeded. Was there alturnitve motive? Maybe you don't really want to go?
 
For the record, I did not call someone with a 37 "entitled or boring". A 37 is great. I'm saying it's not right to look at someone with lower stats than you and say "I got a 37 and I didn't get in but they did". That's entitlement to me. Maybe there were a plethora of other factors that got them accepted, including an interesting application. Never said anything about URM. That is all.

yea....ppl are really coming for you....i would just pick the one you like most...can tolerate/endure for four years and just move on...don't ask SDN about decisions like this...or if you do PM someone....

I am just hard on myself, that's all. Nothing to do with my capabilities of becoming a doctor.

Don't wish ill will on others, without wishing ill-will on yourself
