Every thread on SDN

[1289]

---

Members do not see this ad.

so i'm working at a computer-ish boring job this summer and have spent a lot of time reading SDN. lol. this is my general observation of every thread:

Someone starts a thread about a pre-med related topic

one person decides to say something "slightly" controversial or state a strong opinion

Everyone begins attacking that person

Other people step in to defend the original controversial speaker

Sides form

The argument gets stretched to the point of questioning other SDN member's qualifications of being a med student/doctor.

Thread gets closed.

I think this thread should be closed because URMs don't deserve to get into med school.

You kidding me? URMs go through 1000x more difficulty in life than your average ORM.

Hey that is not cool and you're totally going to be a terrible doctor because you made that post

 

[Narmerguy]

Closing...

I missed the step "Poster makes an innocuous comment and someone else stops by to take the comment completely off topic"

SDN power user sweeps in to lecture people about how easy it is to get 4.0, 39S, 273 Step 1, all honors, 15 first author pubs while only working 50 hours per week.

LMAO exactly, I feel like 4/6 people on this forum claim to have a 4.0 and a 35+ while simultaneously telling everyone how easy it is to work 40 hrs at the same time

The somewhat disheartening thing is that there are actually people that manage to do that...

hahah NickNaylor you are the only genuine one seeing as one can completely follow your SDN progress into top 10 🙂

Yup, that's NickNaylor in a nutshell, but it's good inspiration. You can succeed while spending a significant amount of time on SDN. 👍

Rofl pritscer isnt even in top 5 nicknaylor will make a terrible doctor omg i bet he wont even match into ROAD LOL why would you want to become a doctor unless you make over 500k+ a year? med school isnt fair anyway cause the blacks and mexicens get in with really bad stats ccause americans enslaved them like 100 years ago....might as well be a nurse or a np i mean they do pretty mucht he same thing as docters.

 

[Wile]

Don't forget...

If you all wouldn't still pursue medicine if the salary was $50,000 per year you're a horrible person.

By the way, assuming you're still working on your school list, maybe add some DO's to it. And Carib, just to be safe. *Additional generic advice based merely upon conjecture*

 

[1289]

so does anyone have a list of schools that like people who are interested in medicine? can't find the info anywhere.

 

[TheWeeIceMan]

Obamacare

I give up, admit that I am a money hungry *****, and then make you feel bad by saying that the LSAT and GMAT > MCAT in terms of difficulty.

Then I get really spiteful, and say that the SAT > MCAT.

Eat that, premed!

Whoever came up with the URM advantage is an idiot, so screwed, and more screwed than me, They think they are giving an opportunity to the disadvantaged when in fact they are making the wealthy minority wealthier. No disadvantaged kid can even dream of going to medical school, talking about people who can't even afford to pay the bills, how in heaven can they even think about college? i know i suck, but whoever came up with this URM advantage sucks more

Loyal and oblivious agreement. Currently pming the user, asking for facebook info so that we could be facebook friends and initiate local anti-URM-for-medical-school meetings in my rich mom's basement...which has a bowling ally, and a pool.

Calls you arrogant and stupid. It is clearly all about the $$$$. I have more $$$$ because I was born into it, so therefore I am superior to your altruism and charismatic moral stance.


(aww, by the looks of it guys I took the bad-guy side 🙁 )

comments that your interviewers will see straight through your arrogance and you will never get accepted.


again blames your mom and dad.
