Does it frighten anyone else.....

....that so many of these people who can't figure out how to pick their own classes, what to wear to interviews, where to apply or how to fill out basic paperwork, etc are hoping to one day have the lives of others in their hands?

someday these people will operate on you...though most will just fall on their faces, especially the HS and freshmen...

either way, half the threads on this board lately can be answered with "just use common sense". too much to ask?

As my great grandmother was fond of telling me: "Common sense is the least common of traits".

So many of the questions here can be answered by:
a) talking to your academic advisor
b) reading the help file on AMCAS
c) talking to your premed advisor
d) reading other threads.

People are by nature lazy, so they just post and hope their problems are solved instead of figuring it out on their own.

I'm sure you were there one day.

It is very interesting that you brought this up.

We talked about it in a psychology class I took. The message was basically:

Just because someone needs other people's opinions in certain things in life (i.e. be indecisive when it comes to themselves), it doesn't necessarily mean that they can't give others their opinion when asked for (be decisive for others).

Yeah, but it was shortly after I learned to wipe my own ass, not shortly after I entered college.
