Hey all,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I do NOT feel that my score is especially special, especially considering the scores that my friends have gotten at my school. To name every one I've heard so far (honest to God NOT omitting any low scores)...

240
251
254
244
266
236

I guess it looks like I'm just barely above average so far!!! This is just to inform you that many/all of you will do much better than you anticipated. I am pulling for you.
Best wishes,

BF
 
Wow. You have some smart friends. I donno any of my friends scores. But I might be able to find the scattagram from last years scores.
 
can we please put these score wars to rest...

there is nothing gained from this fighting back and forth...and it really doesn't matter who started it...or whatever..

you are both equally intelligent. I can see the arguements from both sides..how it can be perceived as showing off...or on hte other hand, someone being TRULY proud of their accomplishment..

we are all going to be doctors, whether we graduate first from our class or last from our class. It doesnt serve us, or all of society, for us to be bickering with ourselves on who is really really smarter...

everybody who got into medical school, is already cream of the crop...let this bad blood end now..

I'm asking both sides..to please calm down, be the bigger man, and take the high road.

Hopefully we all can be a service to humanity...

So in other words the bigger man is the top man....So does that mean you're always the little bitch?

I have corresponded with Jalby many times and do not feel that we are in any sort of competition.

Further, the above post from Jalby was benign in my opinion. I tried to read the post at face value and assumed it was cordial.

If it wasn't, I'd be happy to address it, but I honestly feel that it was made without malice or being passive-aggressive.

Jalby, if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Could you please RELAX, re-read my original post, especially the BOLDED part, and re-examine why you freaked out?

It was merely an informative post, nothing more, nothing less. And, again, anyone who misinterprets the bolded portion needs a head CT.

Jalby is sooo lost. I was just trying to say that your friends are smart. I don't think my med school friends are that smart. Maybe, but I donno.
 
bigfrank, you seem like a super cool dude but whats with the constant posts aobut scores and what not.. i mean totally no offense but wouldnt you have something cooler to do after finishing step 1 or if u started rotations wouldnt you be busy. i just dont see whats with you and scores on sdn. i mean you give stellar advice just curious
 
Mr. Candybar has developed the uncanny ability to detect sarcasm over the internet even when it doesn't exist.

For example when Jalby said "Wow" Whatchamacalit was keen to detect what he was really saying was "Woooooow, look at you, your friends must be so reeeeeeallly smart, well la de freakin da! Just wait until I pull out that histogram of last years USC scores and I'll put you and your punk ass school in their place." See the rest of us just didn't pick up on it!

😀 😀 😀

Wow. I missed it when I said that, too. I was just saying that somewhere on the internet is the scattagram from last years class.

This is something I'd like to see and would appreciate if you could hunt it down. I'm in that class and I've never seen a distribution of our scores.
 
I actually got it from Dr. Ryan a couple of months ago, but that computer got stolen so I no longer have it in my possesion. I'll see what I can do about getting it again, or you might have to wait tilmy classes board scores come out b/c it should be on that scattagram.
 
Been lurking on this board for about 2 years now, and would not be sending this post unless it was justified. Big frank all you do every day is refer back to your premiere performance, i.e. BOLDING it for everyone's eyes. All you had to do was post your breakdown and give some tips for future test takers. Instead, you put on this charade as if you don't feel any more special than anyone else. You poll your classmates for their scores, for what purpose i do not know. I second Ramoray's post, instead of fixating on the boards and your score, try getting out more. And to be the better man, I shall post no more replies in reference to this. 😀

Sorry to make you so mad. Keep in mind that this is an anonymous forum, so your anger truly seems a little pathetic. I am merely keeping the MANY DOZENS of SDN-ers who have emailed me asking for other scores at my school up to date. I'm sure that there are many people at my school that did not do well, but I am proud of my classmates for studying to diligently to do so well. What makes scores at my school so impressive is that our average MCAT is only around 29 or so.

Keep in mind: If I were to stop including the scores of my friends, it wouldn't mean that they don't exist. 😉

Sorry for bolding. Keep in touch. 😉

As always, if people don't like my posts, there is always the "ignore" feature of SDN.
 
bigfrank, you're cool. somebody asked for your score. you posted it. so what? there will always be tightwads who give you crap for doing it. just sit back, drink a beer, and have a good laugh.

I am not saying that he does but maybe bigfrank does like to put his score out there. SO WHAT....HE CAN DO ALL THE VICTORY LAPS HE WANTS TO AND PEOPLE LIKE ME STILL DONT CARE. Because he also put up his study guide to help other SDN members. I copied it and am going to use it to buy books for myself and start using Firstaid early.

Bigfrank also spends his time to help people here and answer question. How dare you use that agaist him and tell him to "get out more". Maybe you should be the one getting outside more since we know you do not have anything to add to the SDN community. Maybe you were right to stay a lurker. You have come out of hiding and added nothing of value to the forum. Go back into the shadows until you have something to add to help others here.

P.S. bigfrank dont let the haters get to you............... 🙂

Never have, never will. I should say, however, that I appreciate the time you took to write.

Anyone who knows my postings on here knows that I am not that kind of person.

Thanks again, hope my advice works for you.

P.S. And I'd be willing to bet that the "lurking troll haters" (ms697, etc.) will use my advice too. 😎
 
ok now I am curious (and interested)..can anyone bump the original thread with advice , please? never too early to think about the boards right? 😱

Thanks! 🙂
 
BigFrank- Which school do you attend? (so I can apply there in my next life, or possibly send a few of my kids in that direction... 😀 )
