CommanderRiker's ability to make a fool of himself is exceptional to say the least.
The Howard PCOM comparison was pure genius.:smuggrin: :laugh:

No it wasn't pure genius, otherwise I'd be in M.D. school instead of P.C.O.M. despite a 31 M.C.A.T.

Riker-Alpha out. :cool:

Let's talk about that soured GPA, Commando ... :laugh:
 
you're coming to PCOM!? BTW, never write P.C.O.M. again. I will roundhouse kick you in the mommy-daddy button. It's almost as bad as L I E I C I O I M. btw, i'm still unsure why an institution would want to name their school after a digustingly polluted great lake, but that's just me... i kid...

I thought it was btwn two other schools. Guess your last post confused me a bit.

I thought so, too. I can see it now: "I, Commando Riker, come in peace ..." :laugh:
 
nice discussion on this thread...

You will be spending many hours with your fellow residents and faculty ... working with each other and depending on each other. It is in the program director's best interest to rank people who can work together in a cohesive unit and make the work place a fun atmosphere ... not a bunch of socially inept Type A personalities with cephalo-caudal inversion syndrome.

Commander. It's Commander William T. Riker. Serial number Sc-231-427.

Which school are you going to, may I know?

Please don't tell me you're gonna go to P.C.O.M. identifying yourself as THAT! :laugh:
 
Commander Riker...This is Captain Jean Luc Picard, I have traveled back in time and I'm operating incognito on a delicate mission for the Federation. I need you to cease sending sub-space messages to earth via this website. You are scarring everyone and you are in direct violation of the Prime Directive! If you do not stop, I will be forced to demote you to Yeoman and confine you to Lt. Commander Worf's love dungeon on the holodeck.:mad:

Dr.Inviz, what school are you going to?

Dr.Inviz?

Ahh, playing the old "Responding to my own comment, as an indicator of the other party's silence" card. To answer your question, Dr. Inviz's signature (Medical School Class of 2012) indicates that he is not yet attending medical school, nor will he be in the fall. He'll be applying this year, and I wish him luck at it. In a larger sense, though, Dr. Inviz was not challenging what school you were going to go to when he said...

"THAT" is an indicator of you referring to yourself as "Serial Number Sc-231-427." In other words, please don't go to PCOM (or any other school) and walk around campus identifying yourself as such.

Look...everyone has an online persona. I doubt that "TheRealDrDorian" is either JD from Scrubs, nor the actor that portrays him, Zach Braff. Likewise, I am not Stringer Bell from the HBO Series The Wire, played with a deadly suaveness by actor Idris Elba. I am not nearly as handsome as he is, though I would venture a guess that my MCAT scores are higher than his. I would also venture a guess that you're neither Commander William T. Riker, nor actor Jonathan Frakes. If so, perhaps you should focus on entering a medical school class of 2361 (four years after Riker finishes at Starfleet Academy.)

Point being, however, that this thread has gotten way off base. It certainly is no longer informing me about whether or not DO's have a harder time getting residencies. Even when I tried to pull this thread back on course with a relevant discussion of participation in the Match, this thread continues to be a pissing contest on par with the Pre-Allo threads.

To paraphrase a less-tasteful online saying...
"Arguing online is like an eating contest. Even if you win, you're still full of ****."

That statement sums up about 90% of the posts on SDN (especially MD vs. DO, or some varient of it).
