C'mon.....this is getting silly..

You guys can't honestly say or speak for silver_eyes. No one can say that they know what she is thinking, her plans, and motivations.

She will probably make an excellent physician. She seems determined and ambitious. In the end thats all that counts.

So, she messed up on her first 2 years. It doesnt really matter. Its the last 2 years that really counts.

Hey Guys,

Please don't stop posting on this thread. It is the most fun this old woman gets to have!!

Silver eyes,

Sorry to tell you this but you don't have a snowballs chance in hell to get into medical school. At least not in the next few years. I say this with confidence because I also screwed up my undergraduate degree with a dismal performance. Although it was not the teachers fault in my case. It was all the drugs and alcohol that accidentally kept slipping down my throat. ( Bad drugs!....Bad alcohol!!) I think not going to class or even taking the exams might of had something to do with it also.:laugh: :laugh:

Your first two years of college matter. Your last two years of college matter. Having to repeat classes repeatedly matter. It is not impressive. You will need to have many years between these poor grades and an application before you will even be considered for medical school. You will also have to take MANY upper division science classes and ace them ( have A's) before you will be considered.

I graduated with my first degree in 1985 and a 2.0 GPA. I have since earned another 170 college credits and an 3.87 GPA. This includes a 3.7 science GPA. I have been accepted to medical school.

The moral of my story is that it can be done. You can screw up and still get in. But............it will take a long time.

Good luck and keep us posted!
 
Um, yeah right.

Have you read this thread? If you did, then you would know Silver Eyes definitely speaks for herself! And makes herself look extremely immature, misguided and delusional. I don't think she really understands what it means to be a doctor in terms of hard work, responsibility and dedication.

And "what really counts" is a matter of opinion, but for her it is pretty clear that determination and ambition aren't cutting it. People here attempted to give her constructive feedback, but she is deaf to it. And frankly, the first two years do count and so does the overall picture!

Silver_eyes is young and young people make mistakes. I think she's taken enough from this thread.

SILVER EYES - Go to the first post of this thread. Click Edit. Highlight the "delete thread" box (or select the Delete This Thread option...I can't remember how it's listed) and hit the SUBMIT button.

Wipe out this thread. Retake all of your D and F classes. Take only 3 classes at a time and start over.
 
Like a lot of us, I do think sillver_eyes has some legitimate issues around her motivation and, perhaps, ability to pursue medicine in a serious fashion, at least at this time in her life. I suspect that the way in which she responds to every flamer and has kept this thread so active is reflective of her desire to vocalize and analyze her own conflicted feelings on the subject. But I've lodged my opinion, as have some nine pages of folks by this time, and that's really as far as that needs to go.

The current tone of the thread has shifted from frustration and teasing, to one of mean tempered jeers. In light of the unpleasant tone of the thread at present, I regret having participated in the teasing. My expectation was the she would respond vigorously and loudly to these jokes, sparking more debate. Without her participation in the verbal jousting, the tone is becoming one of bullying and is not something that I (or most of us, I think) intended.

The decisions here are - obviously - hers to make, and her acts of seemingly poor judgment in no way merit treating her with intentional unkindness.

No. To be a good physician also includes LISTENING to your colleagues who are offering you sound advice, not PICKING and CHOOSING only the ones that tell you WHAT you want to hear.
The people on this thread aren't out to get her. We're all her colleagues and we really would like to help her. If you notice, the thread started out with people posting good advice but she got upset and offended some of the posters.

The advice being given by these people, and myself, we did not just pull it out from the air. It's from personal experience and first hand information.

I know some of you said you wouldn't post anymore since she doesn't seem to be listening, perhaps she is perhaps she isnt but for her to spend the next 2 years messing up again and putting herself in a bad situation or being so lost, I really don't want her to end up there. I dunno if anyone of you guys have felt like the goal you aimed for isn't really what you want or feeling as though the world is turning and you're just standing there but I have. It's a terrible feeling, a feeling that someone else shouldn't have to go through.

It is hard and stressful enough to get into medical school but to try and get in going the wrong way....

Silver_Eyes, if you don't start listening to these people, taking their advice, you're not going to make it into medical school, and not the caribbean ones either.

Here was the only point in which responsibility was correctly applied. It all just went downhill from there.

It's unfortunate that people attack you so harshly but unfortunately they are right. You have to work harder and take responsibilty for your life. Improve your grades over your last 2 years and do well on the MCAT and who knows...

I love this thread because everyone is yelling at someone who is obviously deaf. Silver _Eyes, I remember reading your posts last year and from what I observe, you're materialistic. I recall that you posted in the pre-dental forum as well, I think you even asked which profession made more. Afraid that the occupation you're going to end up with won't be able to afford that, what was that car that you braggged you drove again, you said " 2001 M5 BMW."

Face the facts, you don't want medicine. Someone said earlier that they knew someone who lied to herself that she liked medicine but ended up failing out. I don't think you even read the posts with the good advice on them, you're just looking for the ones that question your desire to become a physician so that you can respond to them and make you feel as though you really want medicine.

The more you have to argue against something, the more you are wrong. You get angry at people who are posting what you don't want to hear because it's true. And your posts are filled with bitterness and anger because what they are saying is what you know but won't admit.

one more time,
yes i DO take responsibilty for my grades. I know is PART my fault that i got them.

I thought with a 960 or 980 SAT score i would NEVER get into the college i am currently attending....but hell, i got into 5!

You have to have faith in yourself. Yes grades DO count, as does ur personality, determination and ur strive to acheive.

If u guys are my "collegeues" as u say, then they are suppose to support u and give u advice, NOT IN A HARSH WAY.

the only person who hasnt done that is ReVert, Beagle and ScreamingTreesRule.

I will retake the mah course and physics course during the summer and during regular school. however, beagle who has GRADUATED from the schol i attend now, knows and understands. she told me my schedule for spring is fine. thats all i need.

And what is this whole survivor thing about getting voted of fthe island??? U guys call me immature (chloe), yet ur the one who is making this all fun and games about having me voted off the island and sailing to the carribean. THAT IS IMMATURE.

Over time on SDN, people have tried to give you good advice in a nice way, as have some people on this thread. I agree that things have gotten a bit catty here, but you have egged it on with your posts. I'm not sure why you are asking for advice here when you ignore any advice that you don't like.

As I posted before (and others have as well), study hard, bring up your grades, do well on the MCAT and you should recover from the problems from your first 2 years. (For some reason you didn't like it when I posted this suggestion the first time.) I know this ground has already been covered, so no need to tell me so in your next post. Good luck.

It isn't in a HARSH WAY....in fact it is nowhere in a way HARSH. In the real world, people don't sugar coat things. You're going to have to get used to it. I am really trying hard to be nice about this but you're making it even harder to not unleash the sarcastic, blunt Kovy.
 
hmm.. at least you aren't taking o chem in the summer anymore..

Hey stop pointing fingers. I certainly didn't start the island thing. I didn't even sign the petition! So don't blame me about that. Immaturity is often fine for entertainment purposes (unless hurtful), but it won't help you cut it through the pre-med and med track you are endeavoring to follow.

You know you have a lot of hard work to do and that's all. Given your low SAT scores, you should keep in mind that you may need extra time and preparation for the MCAT. With your track record, I believe you must score more than 30 on the MCAT to be considered for a US MD spot. The MCAT is way harder than the SAT. Just a heads up...

Also, like that new avatar...how fitting! You should change the "pretty" to "paki."

Since you directed this at me, I thought I'd reply.

You asked SDN for advice, so I wrote a few nice responses. You didn't listen to me or to anyone else who honestly tried to give you good advice. I'm fed up. I'm not better than you, but you asked for our opinions, so I gave you mine. Repeatedly. I think you have quite a bit of growing up to do before you'll be ready for medical school.

I knew lots of pre-meds in college who got slammed in chem, calc, physics and bio and took up a different field. They are fantastic people who, for better or worse, didn't make the cut. silver_eyes, you didn't make the cut, and everyone here is tired of telling you gently that you shouldn't be pre-med anymore. You can hate us for telling you that, but ultimately you need to look at yourself and realize the truth.

As for being a "doctor wannabe," I'm a third year medical student at Johns Hopkins who has a month off to sleep in and post on SDN. I guess I'll only be a wannabe for another year.

Could we just let this thread retire. It has lost its purpose and is just being used for flaming.
 
omg! i just read this thread. i believe this says enough:🙄

silver, maybe you should stop posting here and start focusing on your grades. i use the sdn as a break from studying for the mcat. that is no offense to you. i was in the same boat as you. however, i talked to several admissions people and they gave me advise on what to do (great ecs, great expereince, bring up gpa w/in 2 yrs-but be prepared to possibly get mph before getting in, and do well on the mcat). i am not meaning to be harsh-but you can either whine about it-or you can do something about it. i suggest you start to do something about it. life happens and sometimes it can put up temporary blocks to getting what you want out of life. if you really want it and if it is meant to be-with very hard work you never know what might happen.

it was easy at first to blame a really bad marriage. guess what, that ended, i picked up the pieces, refocused and am back on track now. that is what they wanted-me not to go to med school. it comes with time-but hopefully you will learn.
 
I would first like to say that i am muslim and also from pakistan. I would just like to say that people like you give us a bad name, if you got a bad grade in something, don't blame the teacher blame yourself. There is some thing I would like to tell you and what my parents told me "when you point to some one there are four fingers pointing back at you" One last thing if you can't find time to study, have you ever thought about not going to studentdoctor and use that time to study. I personaly think you became a nurse, because a nurse has a lot more time with each patient, which doctors do not.
 
I was having a little bout with insomnia. I then read this ENTIRE thread (backwards, all Quentin Tarantino-like). My sleeplessness is now cured.

silver_eyes: You will never get into med school. And if they accidentally mix up the "reject" and "admit" piles, I'll be sure to never let you touch me or my family. You show a basic inability
to grasp reality, blame others, cannot master basic science,
and obviously have other personal problems----have you considered law?

One of my funnier pre-med memories was when I was a new freshman in college, I was bitching about why as pre-meds we had to take all of these "useless" science classes. My frat brother, between bong hits, said <surfer voice>"Duuuude.... it's so they don't let *******es into med school."</surfer voice>

You can learn a lot from a dummie.

Good night,
mike
 
mike, that was harsh. but sometimes people need harsh!:laugh:
 
Final word of advice princess, worry about graduating first. First, try to get decent grades. You already have a bad start since you already messed up your undergraduate transcript anyway. Quit UOP and go to a JC. My brother is worried about getting into a DO school with a overall undergraduate GPA: 3.34, M/S 3.44, and Pharm.D. GPA of 3.1. What makes you think you can get into a M.D. school with a GPA less than of my bother who already have a Pharm.D. and served in active duty army....

BUT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE PRINCESS, STUDY, STUDY, STUDY:clap:
 
I completely agree with Richard Miller, and I'm sorry for the hard times Silver eyes. But you have to understand all the demands that are placed on the premed student. They're about conforming to what needs to be done, despite your own aversion towards a particular schedule set out for you. Allow me to put it this way, it is an incredibly noble thing, you deciding to devote your life to, Medicine. But unfortunately wanting to be a Doctor (physician), isn't enough on it's own merit. It takes hard work, being devoted to the tasks at hand. You want to get into medical school, so just work for it. I realize I don't know you, but if you really consider a 2.0 gpa, uncomplimentary remarks made to you by your professor and your inability to get with it, a sign that your trying your best, then your fooling yourself. And thus, you don't have what it takes. It's hard for a reason, the rigorous pursuit of medical education isn't a game or something you should pick up when you feel. My God, this isn't about presage, this is about peoples lives!!! And if you want to become a doctor so you can say your a doctor, so you can feel good about yourself..then you don't belong in the medical profession working in any capacity

hey chloe,
im sorry. i didnt mean it....but u did say somethings and yea, u didnt sign the petition. 🙂

thanks about the avatar, but i dunno how to change to paki..lol. hehe. sorry girl? no hard feelings ok?
 
Ok,
first and foremost would like to THANK ALL OF YOU for your advice. I appreciate it, even if i havent said so or if u think i am picking and choosing out the ones that are sugar coated, which i am not.

I have thought about this and i have come to the conclusion to take things slow. some people have asked me if i am trying to graduate in 3 years..which i am not, but they based it on the bulk science classes i am taking together, which is bad. lol.

I will study hard....i know getting into med school isnt easy obviously, or the world would be swarming with doctors. I will work my butt of this semester and in the years to come. Bring up my science/math gpa and my overall. If i dont understand something, ill go to office officers....and not to put the blame on my teachers when I get the bad grade.

You have been ALL a great help to me. i Really dont know what i can do without you.

My parents didnt go to college, so i dont know how the college thing works. I look at my roomate and she aces through her courses, without studying a lot. Her dad, she said and her mom gave her tips..they are both doctors..dentist and pharmacist. wish my mom or dad was a doctor, so i can have the guidance in college. But i am Thankful to God of what my parents have given me.

now, i think is the time to close this theread. it is almost on page 13, which is ridiculous.

if i have offended or made someone angry, i am sorry. i didnt mean to. No hard feelings.

if u want to still talk to me or anytying, you can always PM me.

Thanks again fellow SDNers!!!

Then, low and behold, she gets into med school (say Washington U with a full ride scholarship even). She will not only have the last laugh, she will become a Saint to all those med school wannabes who dream of getting there without puttiing in the effort.
