How is it fair....

Members don't see this ad.

You don't know what a DO REALLY is, yet you know enough to turn your nose up to one? You don't seem like Physician material to me bro.

I didn't turn up my nose to you. If you believe in holistic medicine, yay.

 

[radkat101]

Nope, not at all. If I had your stats and wanted to be an MD (which I do), I wouldn't settle.

I didn't settle at all. It was super cheap (in Texas) with a good rep. There are many factors that come in to play when making decisions like this.

 

[Chipster.]

In high school, I worked til 3AM. I know what it's like to have to work harder to get same results, but I'm capping at a B.

Sounds to me like someone has a case of the stupids...

[Doctor Strange]

Guys, OP's not getting into med school. We can all go home now.

Well people look for different things. 😀

Well, it was my dream school so I will push my kids to go after their dreams. I would never push them to save money and go to a crappy university, it's so sad that everyone on here thinks that's the smarter move. I'm sure most of you couldn't even get into my school at the time and now you guys are in a better position.

But a crappy university WILL get you to an MD school. Now, you have to choose between DO school or bust.

I'm going with troll

There's no way a human being can be this self absorbed and bitter. I refuse to believe OP is a real person

I don't even know what madness led me to open a thread with "unfair" in the title…and then, to top it off, respond to it. And I was having such a lovely evening complete with a glass of wine and some quality TV before my blood pressure sky-rocketed from this mess…

Then don't work harder, work SMARTER.

Chill out a bit. Go drink. Or beat off. Or whatever you do for fun.

Or crappy MD school...

Or graduate. <-----------

 

[Microglia]

Thats my point... No one outworks me. What my friend learned all semester at her college, I learned on the first day, after syllabus reading. How is that outworking? You seriously think her 16 ACT vs mine proves she's SMARTER because she could plug **** into her calculator? Lmfao you people are funny.

You literally just said the words "no one out works me." If you truly believe that's the case, why you're not getting the grades is pretty obvious. Learn to adapt. If you can't handle undergrad, what are you gonna do in med school where the average MCAT can be 35-36? Whining will get you nowhere.

Right..... The fact that he had all these classes in China (where it's probably harder). And I bet there are 10% of foreigners in each class, oh hey, bye bye As.

There is no crappy MD school though. AT least, none anyone here can name(hint: None exist, point blank!)

Yes, you can graduate! And be successful. Remember, you Don't need All A's. Don't be those freaky losers who cry for getting an above average grade of a B+. Live life to the fullest.

So? You made the personal decision to stay. Either accept getting a B, or attempt to work hard and try for an A.

I'm sure many of the people pulling straight A's at those "crappy schools" could succeed at your university as well. They succeed perfectly well going up against ivy leaguers at my med school.

I said, this, exact thing.

Probably something super extravagent like Hogwarts or Miss Puff's Boating School

And all the schools we go to have a <10% ratio of Asians in our pre-med classes? Try 33-50%.

So if I, who gets B+s here, went to another university and got As, NOT get into medical school?
How can medical schools possibly differentiate those people who could have succeeded with material way harder than their classes and those who couldn't?

Foreigners............................... NOT BORN HERE. Asians, on the other hand, everywhere.

At this point I don't think your grades would have much to do with your chances at acceptance.

Your horrible personality is more of an app-killer than a 2.5/26.

I barely saw Asians in my undergrad. Then again, I wasn't in a state like New York and California. Maybe you should befriend these foreigners, learn their secrets, and master their art.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Guys, I think OP might actually be having a stroke.

 

[PurpleLove]

At this point I don't think your grades would have much to do with your chances at acceptance.

Your horrible personality is more of an app-killer than a 2.5/26.

I tried in the beginning to be nice, but as no one could see my points which.... make sense to everyone in real life, kind of upset me. A little.

All he said was, "I had this class in China and everything is harder there" LOL.

If everyone in real life understands, why flock to a forum then, if your questions has been answered?

Unless, like Doctor Strange mentioned, you are having a stroke. In that case, let's send you to the DO neurologist!

 

[PurpleLove]

But hey, I could do my CC friend's Gen Chem homework with high school Chemistry. Still, clearly US schooling system is behind China's haha.

Literally have never had a DO doctor in my life, why is this?

 

[Lucca]

There are less of them? My FM is a DO and she's fantastic. Chair of Harvard's PM&R is a DO. DOs everywhere.

 

[kingjameslbj]

Because you chose not to. Please dont let this troll thread reach 6 pages. You have plenty of advice, none you want to accept.

 

[BamaNicole]

Literally have never had a DO doctor in my life, why is this?

my primary care physician is a DO.

 

[KnuxNole]

I dunno, luck of the draw? That's why it's urgent to get clinical exposure and see that DO. And you might get a second stroke when you see they do the same things the MD physician does. Hell, you can use this as a chance to snag a LOR and clinical experience.

Which, despite the grade issues, I'm sure your highly active extracurricular life is helping with your med school goals, with your intense research and helping out people in volunteer activities. That is a positive thing to look at 😀

 

[Gregor Wiesmann]

Literally have never had a DO doctor in my life, why is this?

How do you know that? It's not like doctors go up to you and go, "HEY, I'm a DO. Is it okay if I treat you, or will you turn your nose up to me?"

There must be 1 in like every 100,000 because I have sifted through pages of doctors before...

I have sifted through pages of physicians before at my hospital....

 

[Gregor Wiesmann]

And FYI, there are DO's who match into specialties like Ophthalmology, Orthopedic Surgery, Anesthesiology......They're everywhere, but like I said, they don't go around pronouncing what kind of Medical School they went to.

But when you search for doctors, there is always the title.

DO, switch schools, Study harder. WTF ELSE DO YOU WANT US TO TELL YOU!

 

[KnuxNole]

There are MD schools in the Caribbean too. I think you would fit perfectly well with their mission statement.

 

[PurpleLove]

Going to a good school provides lots of opportunities like research (this is a LOT more available at research focused top schools), smaller class sizes, organized global health/service programs, networking, access to leading experts in many fields, and tons and tons of funding for pretty much anything you would want to do. Med school acceptances aren't just about your GPA--your experiences count too, and some schools make it easier to gain these experiences. Also, your college experience isn't just about med school acceptances. It's an exciting environment to be in and learn from. Try to see your undergrad experience as an end in itself, not just a stepping stone for med school.

I agree, but the college experience here is horrible. Does anyone else at other universities constantly get mental health emails like "it will get better" and "please don't kill yourself" emails?

 

[Chipster.]

SDN has made me appreciate DO's so much more because they make some damn good physicians and still have to put up with judgement from entitled pre-meds who aren't even capable of getting into MD schools.

 

[PurpleLove]

I'm thinking about my parents' homeland for MD.

Yes.......and that is all that really matters in life. You're going to do just great OP.
