Hello!

Begin rant

In a few weeks, I'll be matriculating at my garbage state school (one of the SUNYs). I know what many of you will say: "Oh, you should be happy you got in." Even though it was my only acceptance, I'm not. I hate the school. In fact, I despise it with a passion. The only reason why I got in is because it was my alma mater. See, it's the type of school that takes pretty much any of their own students that holds a pulse. Gee, I can't wait for it all to begin. Letter grades, constant stress, poorly guided physical dissections. The truth is I want prestige, much more than wanting to be a doctor, though not enough me to not go at all. After all, I want a stable career. Yes, I didn't have the stats for a better school, but imagine how much happier I would be at a top institution. I would be a better medical student, better resident, better doctor. Everyone would envy me. That's what I'm after deep down.

This is probably how every top 10 MD student thinks.
 
If you want money and prestige out of medicine, I'm afraid to tell you that you are never going to be fully happy. There is always more money and prestige to be had and you will never be satisfied, no matter how good the school or how large your salary. If you go into medicine for the joy and love of it, you will receive a much better reward when you can help people in need.

Sounds like a tough situation, idk what to tell ya other than I'm sorry.
I just needed to rant. I was frustrated after seeing someone else at the same caliber as me get into a top institution. Funny thing is, everyone, all my friends and family are so proud of me for getting, but I'm not. In my mind, I barley made it in. I almost want to tell everyone at the school how embarrassing it is and how laughable that they ended up at a SUNY.

Life's not fair, you get what you get. Grow the f*** up and take advantage of what a lot of NYers would do quite a lot for.

If you haven't been around, people like to vent on SDN... A ****-ton. Med school aim for a diverse crowed, I don't think it is hard to imagine some people feeling out of place.
