"About 50% of the applicants have no business being anywhere near a medical school, even as a cadaver, and the rest are mostly clones of each other academically. It's the ECs that get you in the door...the numbers get you to the door."

What percent of applicants are offered an interview?

@Goro at the interview
"So over here at West of St. Louis-COM, we only accept students that prove that they are capable of starting and completing our program. That being said, explain why black cats are superior to every other possible pet?"

No! His favorite cats are tabbies!
( I asked him)
I think Goro uses a kissy-face-baby-voice when talking to his kitties ( the same one he likely used when his kidgets were toddlers)

I wouldn't be surprised

His kids compete with the cats for his attention.

Spiritual, but not religious.

@Goro , you use the phrase " Gawd!" a lot, but are you religious at all? ( if you don't mind me asking , it just puts that into context for me )

 

[mwsapphire]

Spiritual, but not religious.

Note that he didn't deny the kids competing with the cats.....

Gonnif is very wise!

Goro is basically an SDN dad.

I would be inclined to agree with you, but I would contend that Goro's learned colleague @gonnif has the market cornered on dad jokes. His punning abilities (punditry?) know no bounds.

Gonnif is granddad.
( Goro is still working, middle aged-ish, has young kids. Gonnif is retired.)

It must really sting to hear that , though.

Love this thread. Thanks Goro!! Look at all of the people you reached with your sarcastic yet very helpful advice🤣

"Don't be an extra needy special snowflake."

Thank you @Goro, you never fail to make me laugh!

 

[tessellations]

Although mentioned earlier in the thread (and even though Goro does not take credit for the phrase), I am fond of, "this process is a marathon and not a sprint." I use it wayyyy more than I should now when I talk about the process of applying to medical school.

I'm also fond of Goro's list of places for non-clinical volunteering! Reading the list inspired me to volunteer at a soup kitchen, which has been a lot of fun. Had to take a semester off, but excited to get back there in the summer. There's nothing more satisfying than helping to cook a full and hearty meal (with dessert - my speciality) for folks who need it.

I've never heard anyone say that in real life! Only on SDN!
I always wanna say "Bless you" In reply?
Idk I'm weird.

if you are not sneezing at it there is no reason to say "bless you".

That's why I know it's weird.
Maybe it's because "nothing to sneeze at" implies that the OP sneezed?
Guys I'm so tired. I'm up way past my bedtime because I procrastinated studying Orgo.

It's super ****ed up, but my favorite one of those memes is the one that says, "You can't get autism if you die of polio."

Some random sdn user: Goro, I love your posts, but it's kind of crass to equate the undergrad school and med school.

What is CNU? And why do you hate it so much?

 

[cactusman]

What is CNU? And why do you hate it so much?

A for profit USMD where students are ineligible for federal loans and repayment plans. There's speculation that the school may have turned down eligibility for fed loans and is benefitting financially from the success of the private loan companies they recommend.
