Simmer down, there Sizzle Chest. Actually, after 4 years, it was 16%. That was the percentage that failed out - not the attrition rate, which was slightly higher and included voluntary withdrawal. It also included a couple of people who failed into my class, and then were failed into the class behind me. So, like I said - not pretty to watch.
Apparently, bad things scare you so I'll have to be careful with what I write now that I know you're reading. I suggest a security blanket, a stuffed animal, or perhaps a giant poster of Tony Robbins to help you ward off those frightening feelings when you read something you don't want to hear. You might also try a pajama sleepover with some of your buddies when the going gets really rough. You guys could heat up some hot coco, curl each others' hair, do some nails, and then tell cool "bro stories" to make yourselves feel better. If you want to do something to advance your career potential, you could also get garbed up in Walmart attire (blue vest, yellow button, and a couple of semi-hidden tattoos) and have a "Future Walmart OD Campfire Cookout." You could bring some big-screen TV manuals, lawnmower manuals, dog-food package labels, and vacuum spec sheets. You'll need to be up on all that stuff since customers will be asking you for information about them on a regular basis.
You represent everything that embodies the spoiled future adults of this country who say - "Don't tell me anything unless it's what I want to hear." Don't forget to ask your instructors to grade your papers with green or purple ink instead of red. That red ink can make people feel bad on the inside and we can't have that.
Picking an OD program based on it having the least number of failouts is not what I'd call an intelligent decision. When I said what I said, it was with good reason. If someone is concerned enough about their academic abilities to worry about failing out, before he or she even begins, it means that person may not be prepared for a rigorous graduate clinical program. Having seen A LOT of my friends get smoked, despite working very hard, that gives me good reason to say what I said. If you don't like it, study harder.
