Does anyone else hate those premeds? Ugh, I can't stand them. 🙄

Seriously though, anyone have a fellow premed in their class that they wish would roll over and die? I know I have one, it's the "is this going to be on the test?" person who always sits three rows back, and is always dressed in scrubs.
 
there's all sorts who annoy for one reason or another. hopefully med school admissions is good at weeding those ones out.

They wear scrubs? No way.

I actually find the "Is this going to be on the test?" person useful. I get the info without incurring the profs wrath.

honestly there is one here who does, but there are about 10 pharmacy students who think they are hot stuff, and even worse is the mob of nursing students who seem to know more about medicine than anyone in the building 🙄

what really grinds my gears is when in Organic Chem wee spend 2 1.5 hour lectures on some vital aspect and someone asks "is this going to be on the test/final?" I had an old teacher who would just simply say "the syllabus says you are responsible for everything in texts and lectures, are you in lecture right now?" or he'd say "its either that or I take questions from the back of the book that we don't cover in lecture, which do you think I find more important for this class" Once he deliberately left questions off that people asked if they'd be on the final, that made them mad. It was classic.
 
I find it more comical than angering. But I guess it gets annoying after awhile.
 
Nursing students grind me gears a lot more than premeds.

All they do is try to outsmart you, even when they know you haven't ever taken a gross anatomy class and stuff like that...we don't even have nursing students here...I dont know where they come from, they just appear.
 
Wow, I've never seen premed students wear scrubs. That's pretty obnoxious. I get annoyed with med students who wear them when they're not even taking anatomy.
 
People in my school used to wear scrubs to class b/c they volunteered or worked at the hospital. Guess it was convenient to go straight to the hospital after class, or maybe they were trying to communicate something...

Through undergrad both Pharmacy and Nursing students know more than us. Its the simple truth, for the most part. If it was me (the "pre-med" (shudder)) and my nursing friends I would trust them a lot more in a medical emergency than I would want them to trust me.
 
I've worn scrubs to class once or twice when I didn't have time to go back to the hospital to change or I had to go back after class.
 
I wore scrubs to high school a couple of time, only reason was that I used to go to the hospital to intern (part of school) in the mornings and then we had exactly 15 min to drive to school, change, park and be in class. Our school is across town from the hospital so I usually never got the time to change. Scrubs were part of the uniform so everyone had to wear them at the hospital.
 
This exact thread topic gets posted about every other week. You'll have losers and tools in any competitive field, and medicine is no different.
 
I never have worn scrubs and won't ever get the opportunity through volunteering. Granted, I think the last person you'd want to turn to in the ED is me, wearing scrubs, considering residents, nurses, and attendings can be found wearing pretty much the same thing. "I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor, I can't help your loved one who is bleeding on the floor."

(No pun against those at King-Drew :x)
 
I agree- I generally eat lunch in my scrubs on Tuesday (but I generally try to avoid wearing them to class). Sometimes I care more about what I'm doing than how I look doing it. With that said, if you wear scrubs just because...well, you suck.

As for the original post- my feelings on other pre-meds are somewhat mixed. I don't like many of the freshman pre-meds (every other second they are telling me about how amazing pre-meds are...and a lot of them are getting B's-C's in intro bio). With that said, we have a lot of extremely intelligent pre-meds (most are juniors or seniors) who are wonderful. You wouldn't know they were pre-med unless you talked to them though- really laid back and not pretentious.

My resolution for the new year (term ends in a day)- act like a normal college student and not let people get the impression that I'm pre-med.
 
Eh, their not that bad. Step into a poli sci class and take a glance at the future smartass lawyers of the future🙄

Their MUCH worse. There's this one girl in one of my poli sci classes who feels the "passion" to object to everything the instructor says every and I mean every 5 minutes to add in her own beliefs and views😡 the whole class could just slap her. I know I could
 
Oh man, if you hate pre-meds, then you're REALLY going to hate medical school. 🙂

Also, never, EVER show up to school in scrubs. You might as well take a giant sharpie and write the word "tool" in big bold letters across your front. Even medical students don't wear scrubs to school. As a matter of fact, the only students on campus that do are the dental students. Which also makes them look like enormous tools, ESPECIALLY when they study in the law library in full scrub regalia. I guess they do that in case one of those big legal casebooks falls off the shelf and into someone's mouth, creating a DENTAL EMERGENCY, for which they are dressed and ready to save the day. For real, people. Change your clothes. Scrubs don't make you look cool. They make you look like a...well...scrub.
 
I hate my fellow pre-meds more and more every day. I count on the few others similar to me to get through it all without going insane. In other words, the few that are normal and friendly human beings. Not as normal as other people (I think all pre-meds are neurotic... I believe that's one of the definitions of "pre-med"), but normal relative to most premeds.

Changing out of your scrubs isn't that hard. Just wear something underneath or keep an extra pair of clothes in your car. There is a girl in one of my classes who wears scrubs to EVERY single lecture. I wouldn't mind, except that I have to look at her every time she asks an asinine question in class.

Anyone else have a pet peeve of thy fellow premeds?
 
Is it ok to wear scrubs if you only have two pairs of pants and you cut the crotch out of one to convert it into a shirt?
 
pretty much all of the VERY successful premeds that i have known either have personality disorders that make them intolerable or are just plain weird. if i am to consider myself very successful (and we'll have to see about that this admissions cycle; i have my doubts), i am naturally the only exception to this observation.
 
I would have to say "those" people at the interview who have to show off how smart they are. Whether it be to their interviewer, an admissions secretary, or a chipmunk running by in the parking lot. They ask all these gay questions, that aren't actually questions so much as statements of something they already know and want to show off. If it wasn't for the fact that it would more than likely get me kicked it out then and there I would like to stand up throw something on hand at them and tell them to shut the f' up.

Don't make me link to that picture of self-destruction you posted the other day :laugh:

You are just as crazy as the rest of us.

I AM NATURALLY THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO MY OBSERVATION! WHAT CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS!!!
 
There's a premed who wears scrubs maybe 2x wk to my class. And everyone of course wears their lab coats to anatomy lab even though they're not required. My medical ethics class is full of nursing students that think they know more than everyone else. The students who are also EMTs in med eth are really annoying too b/c they think they know everything.
 
... I can't stand premeds... I didn't join any pre-med clubs or anything like that because of this reason. I feel as though everyone is trying so hard to out do one another. I already stress myself out to an extent, and any person telling me how much better they are doing doesn't help matters. So anytime I am in one of those heavy pre-med classes I just turn up my music and continue to go through my big book of sudoku puzzles until the prof. starts the class.

I would think that a pre-law gunner is worse than a pre-med gunner.
 
You know, the ones I've met in my chem class this year were all pretty nice. We used to help each other with studying while waiting for the professor and generally shared advice with each other. There was one guy who seemed a bit like a d-bag, he wore his sunglasses indoors and said that he wanted to go into internal medicine because it was like being a detective, but he was nice enough.

I've always wondered why people wore sunglasses indoors; just doesn't make much sense, but maybe I'm not as cool as they are.

Because they could be prescription sunglasses.

When I have a migraine, if I remember to grab them, I'll wear polarized black-tint sunglasses. (I look like I should be somewhere really sunny cause they completely shade my vision.) They really take the glare out of lights, computers, and humanity until I can go pass out in bed. I've been able to stare at my computer screen with them on long enough to finish a paper before.

I don't know why anyone else wears them, but I wear them so I can see with a migraine. (Sorry, I like to explain things.)

Yeah, I was referring to those who wear them without any sort of condition.

I've done this too:laugh: once or twice if I really needed to do something. Other than that I just shower and take a nap. Both help
But for people who just wear them trying to be "cool" not so cool
 
If there are any premeds around here, they keep a low profile. There are certainly enormous d-bags and tools, but you'll find that anywhere.
 
considering that most of us ARE premeds or were premeds before getting in MD school, there is a lot of premed hate here. There are some very annoying people out there, but thats in every field. I don't hate the annoying people; I just would not want to hang out with them.
 
The most hilarious thing about this thread is that many of the premeds here would probably be disliked by many of the other premeds here in real life.
 
There's a guy who always wears scrub (bottoms) to the gym. He is also a major tool (this is no coincidence). At first I thought that he was just coming straight from class or something... except that he does it on the weekends too and at all hours of the day.

As for pre-meds, the annoying ones are obviously annoy and should go die in a fire, but that goes for annoying people in general.
 
lol...ALL of YOU are "those" Pre-Meds to someone else...one way or another...and I love you all...lol...where's the love guys? 😍c'mon!

Very true. I hate all of the little worms that post their stats just to show off, talk about how they can't wait to match into derm, have volunteered for 10000+ hours, etc. Premeds, can't stand 'em.
 
wearing scrubs to class is pretty douche-y

How is there not time to change out of them? Hospitals have locker rooms and you could bring a change of clothes, its not that hard.

I normally wear glasses that have a light enough tint to look like regular glasses, so that I don't look like a dork with sunglasses on, but still don't die from the light. I don't get how wearing sunglasses makes someone look 'cool.'

(To Dendrite) My dark glasses are for emergencies and dire necessity only. And how can you tell if someone needs the sunglasses for something like migraines or are just being weird? Do you ask?

Scrubs are way too thin to wear to the gym. Guys sweat in nether regions, front and back. Scrubs would make that awkward, haha.
 
I am more amused than anything else. I did a formal postbac, and I'm told by undergrads that postbacs are the worst, gunners and clueless.
