Nothing to see here folks. OP refused to see a six-page thread and decided to take credit for creating a new thread.

Should people that make giant generalizations start new threads?

Statement 1: False. There are a number of factors that could lead to a low GPA, such as family troubles/emergencies, lack of adequate preparation for college in high school, and others. In addition, a single number does not account for possible upward/downward trends in GPA that might be more indicative of a student's performance.

Statement 2: False. The above applies to sGPA as well. In addition, science classes tend to be somewhat more difficult than other courses for many students, and as such, many applicants might have a slightly lower sGPA than cGPA.

Statement 3: False, need I repeat myself?

Statement 4: False, need I repeat myself?

Here you go: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=988398

But I get the feeling people who pose this question don't have much in the way of life experience. You do understand that there are people who have other variables, such as working to support a family, that make them incapable of spending the amount of time that a 18 year old straight out of high school pre-med can, don't you?

Should students who can't consider other alternatives become doctors?

Should students who can't be bothered to scroll through the even the first page of threads before creating a new one on SDN become doctors?

EDIT: Looks like the OP has 4 posts, only one of which had any substance, and 2 of which were new threads. Ban?

This is why ADCOMs look at the entire application. Strong parts of an app make up for the weak. None of these scenarios are any better than the other, just represent different types of people. As I like to say "it takes all types to make the world go 'round"

Survivor DO

How about should students with an MCAT between 32-37, a GPA higher than 3.43, prefer Android over iPhone, and prefer Coke over Pepsi become doctors? Now this is a great thread idea!

We all know that anyone who prefers RC Cola over Coke and Pepsi should never get close to a patient.

I heard Pepsi contains subliminal messages which tell you to kill patients and violate HIPAA. The government puts them in to subjugate the poor people and keep the doctors under their thumbs with the constant threat of lawsuits and fines!

Of course, the smart people realized this years ago...those stupid enough to still drink Pepsi should DEFINITELY not become doctors. Maybe they should become (insert other SDN subforum of your choice) instead.

lol... don't even have to read any part of this. You have to disguise yourself as a troll to be more effective. Now sure, you didn't actually release the red flag statement "this isn't a troll post"...so props on that. BUT COME ON...

I don't think preferring RC Cola over Coke really says anything about one's capacity to become a doctor. HOWEVER, if you drink dunkin' donuts coffee over Starbucks you should very seriously reconsider your career goals.
