so someone in a thread was just excited because he/she got accepted to UCSF and only had a 3.1 GPA (3.0 science) and a 31M MCAT. Ok, now cool for him/her, but come on... does this piss anybody else off just a little. Maybe this person had a really interesting/challenging life, but I bet so did a lot of other more-qualified applicants. I don't want to get into an argument about affirmative action, because I know I'll sound like a jack-ass. Just wondering if it pisses anybody else off out there that people with low scores and grades are getting into schools because they are "unique," when some "boring" hard-working kids with a 3.1 GPA and 31 MCAT maybe won't get into a single med school.
