***EDIT: the title of this person was further redacted to maintain confidentiality

Faith.... Jesus, lol. How rude. It’s inappropriate to correct someone’s grammar in professional communication of this sort, especially when you were being really polite.

Oh well. Some people’s mothers did not teach them well.

Also, it seems that her 3rd grade teacher failed her, too. She doesn't know how/when/where to use a period and messed it up TWO times in her little email.

 

[psychMDhopefully]

That's only the beginning to how petty med school administration can be. You kids have no idea what you are getting into. For the next 4 years you will have to deal with the professionalism gestapo, good luck.

 

[mybluedog]

Lmao that quick 3 min decision.

The lack of punctuation after “all the best” gives me anxiety. What did s/he mean!?

I advise the OP to reply back to the admissions person to find out so they can update all of SDN with the good word!

Honestly, can't decide if I like Emory more or less after seeing this hah!

I feel the faculty and the administrative staff should be viewed separately when talking about school. The faculty could be lovely, but the staff may not be so bright.

Edit: For high levels of pettiness, forward that email up the chain at Emory. A cursory google search shows that Dr. Ira Schwartz is their Associate Dean of Admissions. His email is: [email protected]

You might get an apology out of it.

Haha yeah for sure. I was just saying I like the sass shown on this e-mail

 

[Osminog]

It's weird that the adcom fixated on a small grammatical issue while completely ignoring the fact that you referred to yourself as a blue rectangle.

 

[AccuChek]

This is absolutely hilarious.

He probably listed his AMCAS ID after it.

Emory with that extra salt.

 

[AsepticTechnique]

That response time

 

[DocAdams]

Whomst'd've's'nd utilizes such primitive grammar?

 

[Skiiiiiing]

There's - there are - a lot of easily bruised narcissists in medicine?

Not like SDN isn't packed with "verified physicians" who personnally attack people over obscure disagreements that somehow manage to cause narcissistic injury. *****s everywhere.

More. So much more. It’s like those thug life videos on youtube.

And you may be offended, but they were right and in professional official communication it helps to be grammatically correct (unlike the short hand i’m using here 😉 )

You turned them down and they taught you something about grammar and about one employee, live and learn

 

[Terry Toma]

You should probably get back to them and let them know that in American English, the period goes inside of the quotation marks.

"...my family and me."

It was a graceless and inane assertion of heirarchy.

The person who wrote that is probably the same person who does the '''handshake refusal" test to see who they will admit during interviews, and since that weirdo authority has been rebuked, time to go full grammar Nazi.

And thank god we have admissions people like this around to keep cluster b types out of medicine. 🙄

 

[stickgirl390]

+1 for Emory. Love it

 

[RNthenDoc]

Don’t correct people if you are planning on making 3 times the amount of mistakes yourself during the correction.

 

[CherryRedDracul]

"...my family and me."

Quotation marks outside of the period look disgusting to me. I refuse.

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

I will never understand why people refuse to use correct grammar because they don't like the way something looks for some strange reason. You don't get to choose what is correct lol.

Spoiler

I know your post was mostly in jest (or completely in jest).

 

[Terry Toma]

Quotation marks outside of the period look disgusting to me. I refuse.

Always putting the period outside of the quotes doesn't make logical sense to me. If I speak a sentence, the end of my sentence occurs as part of my quote, not after it. I don't end my sentence after I stop speaking, which is what the period outside of the quotation mark implies.

 

[Dr. Meliodas]

I'd email the dean directly and say what your staff did was completely unnecessary and unprofessional.

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

The British style punctuation doesn't make logical sense to me. If I speak a sentence, the end of my sentence occurs as part of my quote, not after it. I don't end my sentence after I stop speaking, which is what the period outside of the quotation mark implies.

They still put the punctuation within the quotes when it's speech that belongs to the speaker. I.e., they would write:

I said, 'This is how they do it in England.' But my wife said the differences 'were too annoying to care about'.

Interesting. So basically they use the same logic that we use for question marks. That makes sense. Edited my post to better reflect my meaning given this newfound knowledge.

 

[JPmoleymole]

Yikes....horrible look for Emory

Yeah, pretty much. I think the British system makes more sense.

I once legitimately awoke from a nightmare that I walked in the hospital chewing gum, spit it in the trash, was caught on camera, my dean chewed me out for lack of professionalism, then was given the option of being expelled or repeating medschool from day 1.

 

[username456789]

I love Emory for this. I also find it amusing that some of you kids are up in arms about it.

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Savage lol.

Luckily, Step 1 won’t test you on grammar, but that will be the least of your worries...

because it's highly unprofessional and inappropriate.

Exactly, imagine this happening the other way around where the student corrected the admissions staff on grammar in an email

 

[username456789]

Huh?

Jesus the new generation really is overly sensitive.

 

[username456789]

And imagine is my Aunt had balls.

She’d be my uncle! How outrageous!

Switching the roles changes the dynamic entirely and is a useless thought exercise.

So professionalism should only be expected from applicants and not the medical schools staff. Alright good to know.

That’s not the point. The point is that its a double standard.

So you’re the new wannabe tough guy on the block, eh?

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

Not really. For an adcom to respond that way is funny on its face, but it actually shows a lack of professionalism and maturity. *shrug* I’m not overly sensitive because I can recognize that.

 

[username456789]

That’s not the point. The point is that its a double standard.

Not every double standard is a bad thing.

When I was 5 my parents could tell me when I had to go to bed, but they never listened to me when I told them to go to bed!

You keep making the most idiotic comparisons. This is a situation with two adults where both should be expected to show a certain level of professionalism.
