Haha. I saw someone wearing a "Trust me, I'm pre-med" shirt once while volunteering at a health event.

To each his own, I guess

Almost, why not A?
 
Don't get what's so embarrassing about this...


I mean I'd be embarrassed if I set up a blood drive for a Saturday at UCSD.. but this not really..
 
Doesn't seem embarrassing to me. Seems more of a tongue-in-cheek think. Pretty funny in my opinion. Although if she really believes that ............ then that's a whole other story.
 
They are probably all on SDN...
 
It is a tongue and cheek thing...like keep calm chive on.
 
Lmfao. My stupid premed chapter has a tshirt similar to this.... its dumb.

These shirts aren't a joke. These people wear these shirts because other people really believe what is written on them.

You did a pretty crappy job of covering up their faces.

And the whole point of this post is to ridicule your classmates.

What the hell.
 
looks like they are doing whatever they want to do with their life and being happy while you sit in your dorm room getting mad about nothing
 
My school has a D.O. chapter that has t-shirts that say... "Just D.O. it"

I think this is a thread that demonstrates exactly what is wrong with SDN, and why it's a community of which I less and less want to be a part.

It's just Pre-Allo, it's very toxic in here.

Yeah....no.

You think that in an emergency, people in the general public are going to run up to that young asian female and ask for medical assistance, believing it to be the uniform of a certified medical professional? We haven't even factored in the likelihood of a scenario like that ever even happening.

The shirts are obviously obnoxious (and IMO dumb), but also 100% nothing anyone takes seriously. Besides you, perhaps. Did you believe what was written on it? Poor thing.
 
That pic doesn't seem embarrassing. There are med students in clubs with T-shirts with witty phrases too.

It's not like they are wearing that shirt, running into a crowd surrounding an injured baseball player and shouting "Guys, I got this. Don't worry, I'm premed!!".

lol. this is not why I think the shirts are idiotic. In fact I wasnt even considering this when I typed up my post. You are naive if you think that a good portion of premeds wear those shirts believing the phrases on the shirts are 100% a joke. Did you wear shirts like this when you were a premed or something?
 
Really? Come on, people, these are college club t-shirts. Cheesy phrases are kind of a requisite. My pre-med club has had plenty of these in our days. They're just for fun.
 
UCSD student here. I've seen this a few times on campus. Makes me facepalm every time.

That shirt is hilarious :D. The one in the photo though... meh
 
I agree, it's just a joke. It keeps pre-meds entertained, motivated, etc.

But I've found that there definitely are those pre-meds who expect greater credibility just by virtue of being pre-med. It's annoying, especially when their information/advice is inaccurate. And there are definitely those in the general population who don't realize how little pre-meds know. I'm sure a few of us have had friends come up to us like, "Hey you're gonna be a doctor, right? I've been having this (insert symptoms)... what do you think it is? What should I do?"

It is because of my experience with those groups that these shirts make me facepalm. But, like I said, to each his own
 
Don't let Dr. Mario touch you, he's not a real doctor!

Just lightheartedly attacking fellow UCSD students!

Who are "these people" and who are the "other people" you are referring to? Because anyone with half a brain will interpret that to mean that the shirt owner wears the shirt because OTHER PEOPLE believe the the words on them. That is the point I was responding to.

Try harder next time, please.

Haha. Real mature. If you care to show me when and where I was "emotional", would love to see. I remember you talking a bunch of trash because no one there liked you, but that's beside the point.

Toodles.

I miss your old avatar.

This thread seems to be the antithesis of the SDN merchandise thread and yes, the shirts are annoying.

Quite the thread. It's only a shirt, why so cynical?
