Some people out there really hate SDN...

I like how in one post you were a "she."

I was a she too.
I was flattered...

That's true! Come to think of it I think all the adcoms were referred to as she. I mean, I know discerning gender can be hard on anonymous online forums, but when they simply apply a blanket pronoun I wonder if they're not just too lazy to bother customizing.

If you and Goro are both "she's", then which bathroom would you use in North Carolina?

That's how we know the Reddit premeds are clumped on the left end of the IQ bell curve -- it's glaringly obvious that @Goro is a dad.

At least I'm not a meat torpedo.

What brought that on? I like your posts and thoughtful comments!

It's an obscure pop culture reference.

So hyper obscure, that jonny might as well have written it in Korean!

I just went to reddit and found this gem: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/why-us-healthcare-system-_b_9632948.html

So it is all good. And this girl needs ta learn some grammar

That was the most Millenial thing I've ever read. This is why people think our generation is entitled.

 

[aalamruad]

The wife my son and I went out to Starbucks this morning and I was reading these posts while waiting for my chai tea.

Pro tip to avoid being ridiculed by your baristas: chai is Hindi for "tea," so saying "chai tea" is redundant.

Oh that grammar in the article was BAD! Painful to read. But it does rather convincingly make the case how the "not quite good enough" came to be separated from the "well qualified candidates."

OMG! The author of that painful-to-read and logically challenged piece is a LA native with a BA in English from UCLA ?! And this was Huffington Post and not The Onion. Good grief!

I eye rolled my way through that article. Is she on some really good drugs? Or actually serious?

Plus I think this trend of "let me write a cute little bio paragraph to follow up all my articles and show everyone what an awesome quirky writer-hipster I am" is incredibly lame. Wizard on the wards...

Yeesh... her personal statement was probably hard to read. So many grammar problems and so much redundant phrasing. Probably doesn't reflect very well on UCLA's English program

 

[Sanguis]

Never before have I seen someone referring herself as a millennial or generation Y. In fact, I didn't know what millennial/generation Y were before the creation of this post.

equally as students whom attends a U.S. medical school

I am sad

 

[Goro]

And just how many baristas as speak Hindi????

When you ask for a pizza pie, you're also asking for "pie pie" in Italian.

Starbucks sells chai as chai tea, chai tea latte, etc. Wouldn't say all know

Let's get the thread back on topic

Haha probably so, but I'm certainly not gonna let the Starbucks marketing team make me speak like a dork! Which is why I always say small/medium/large instead of using their convoluted size names lol

Oh yeah - hating on SDN and all who frequent it.

Did y'all notice the notion that the Team Reddit had that Adcom members somehow work 24/7 on admissions only, and thus how could we possibly have time for posting on SDN?

Oh right, on topic. Yeah, reddit. Those guise. Totally nfc what they're talking about in premed.

I refuse to even sign up for a reddit account because of the enormous noise:signal ratio in most subs.

It's horrible. Like, there's a difference between minimalism that is functional, a la 4chan, and minimalism that is lacking in features that hinder the user experience. It's. So. Awful.

 

[Mad Jack]

SDN, by the way, has one of the best forum UIs I've ever used. Forums, in general, tend to be absolute garbage when it comes to layout and features. SDN hits the sweet spot in all regards.

 

[darkjedi]

It's really too bad, Reddit used to be a great place for science/tech stuff, but it got taken over by 4chan type kids and now it's pretty much a festering pile of poop. Just look at /r/the_donald.

/r/the_donald isn't exactly going to attract the most level-headed people, is it? It's basically a Trump rally, complete with protesters. Reddit does have some great content.

Reddit can't really be "taken over." There's just a lot more stupid subreddits out there than there used to be. But the good subreddits are no doubt still there, even if the average quality of posters has likely declined.

 

[Sardinia]

@J Senpai @Mad Jack The social interface model is more oriented towards being a feed aggregator than a social software platform. The design fits the function imo.
