This is a very misleading survey result. Tbh, only a very small portion of programs are even in the game of recruiting people from t5's. So of course, school reputation is not something considered by most PD's.
Agree. For a given specialty in a given year there are only a handful of folks applying from big names and half of them stay at their home hospital system. I do not know why there is so much fear that pedigree will be end-all be-all after 2022.
Wealth is familial. It just is. When people die it's usually family that gets their assets. When people marry they usually combine their assets. It's the status achieved by parents that most influences what a young person has on the table as a teenager/early 20s because children don't generate their own opportunities. If you're seriously asking this question, you're better off reading history/sociology than asking on SDN.
I understand. My point is we are ALL going to have familial wealth in 20 years, regardless of how much (or how little) our parents have now. Being admitted to the profession is being given the keys to the kingdom, with or without a tuition discount, need based or otherwise. I also get what you are saying about people from poor backgrounds being debt-averse, but that's a social construct, not an economic one, since the payback on MD tuition is exactly the same for poor students as wealthy ones.
Exactly, for most folks, pedigree never matters that much to begin with.
Absolutely, 1,000,000% correct! And, it's not magic. It's an artifact of the astronomical cost of training physicians through the government funded residency slots that creates a lid on the number of physicians produced each year, which in turn creates the supply/demand imbalance that results in the sellers' market that we have all come to know and love so much.
T14 because GULC is almost always ranked No.14 and those schools are considered nationally viable schools for Big Law jobs. If you go to one of those schools, firms don't have a hard cutoff on your law school GPA to give you an interview. Whereas, if you go to UCLA, usually ranked 15, they require 3.5 for most Big Law interviews. The same applies to B-schools, the Magnificent 7 enjoy an unhindered access to top job interviews. You just need to show up on the interview day to have a shot. I know that because I have a JD from a T14 and an MBA from a Magnificent 7.
You out here tryna get the infinity stones bro? What's next, a PhD from the Fantastic Four?
just lol at this whole statement from a medical student
What is student monthly loan payment
Truth hurts, but ok...have a wonderful day
I also live in Manhattan and can say your comment may be true on some studios, but to suggest you cannot get a decent studio for less than 3-4 is utterly not true. Rents have come down and even before, you can still have found housing for around 2k and yes, in Manhattan, not Brooklyn, Bronx, etc.
zero. Law school full-ride, b-school loans paid off within 2 years of graduation with a job on Wall Street.
And now you’re in medical school?
Passed the bar in two states and practiced for 3 years as a litigator. Didn't like it very much and decided to jump into finance. Didn't like it either. Decided to do medicine.
You say that as if Yorkville isn't a good neighborhood lol. Yorkville is a great place to live and literally one of the safest neighborhoods in the city. Also HARD disagree that you need 3-4k for a decent studio. 2k is more than enough to find a place with decent space.... especially in the UES.
What's your next degree when you hit MS3 and see what medicine is really like haha
Depends on the school. My school takes the top 30% of the class after third year rotations and screens anyone with professionalism marks out of the group. Then they invite the rest to apply for AOA. It’s based on a points system that uses grades, research, volunteering, and leadership to rank applicants. The top third are automatically accepted and the bottom third are automatically rejected unless someone feels there is something exceptional, in which case they get voted on along with the middle third.
Can you still practice? Not sure if bar expires. I think it would be cool to be able to bring cases and argue them without looking like a fool (people who bring cases without passing the bar or at least having JD)
Yes, I can.
