I would need a Ph.D. in fallacy explanation to make it through all that. Best of luck friend. Enjoy those acceptances.

This rant doesn't seem to address the med school admissions process but instead the people who apply to med schools.

Are you trying to discourage non-sincere aspiring doctors? Or simply demonstrate that the insincerity is universal to all ethnicities? Or should we all admit that we're in it for (what you assert are) superficial reasons?

There's nothing wrong with AdComs advocating that applicants consider their motivations before pursuing medicine.

C'mon Pons, you know the first person is supposed to quote the OP. We ALL want to laugh along together.

It was a big nonsensical rant and then he ended it with: I'm tired of typing so i'm stopping now even though I haven't made my point yet.

It disappoints me that he edited his post because I wanted to hold a contest where people would write creative endings to his rant for him

I actually recorded the OP as he dictated it.

1) AdComs think Asians go into medicine because their parents make them
2) Everyone goes into medicine for money and job security. Anyone who says different is lying, so people should just come out with it and stop pretending.
3) Can't remember

3) was "profit". i can tell because of the title and from seeing a lot of three-item lists in my time.

I didn't read it, but this reminds me of that stream-of-consciousness rant from jerry macguire, where he regrets immediately what he wrote once he considered that people might actually read it. I mean OP took down the post in 6 minutes!
