I'll say mdapps is a good thing...when used the right way. On the one hand, it's nice to see underdogs tell their tales of ultimate success. On the other, it's also nice to see pompous number ****** with great stats get humbled. As for this thread, it's admittedly pretty worthless. Mexico is more corrupt in many ways than the US. It's a fact. Mexico certainly does produce great doctors. Fact. Meharry and Howard do produce great doctors. Fact. Schools that tend to be a little less stringent in their admissions process will admittedly get some bad apples. What's the big deal? These are all facts and should not reflect negatively on a person because he/she went to Howard, Meharry, Mexico, Ross, SGU, etc...unless, of course, that somebody happens to be one of the bad apples or is simply too insecure to deal with the perceived stigma. We might as well end this thread unless somebody has some insightful information. As for exceptions to the so-called facts, forget it. There are always exceptions.
