Actually the bigger threads have done pretty good if people use them correctly. Sometimes the merging gets confusing, but we can't have 10 out of 50 threads on the first page with people asking what should you do? The sooner we get those questions merged together, the easier it is for people to answer. We have some regulars that do take the time to help people out. I know it can seem frustrating but right now things are also a bit slow with responses. Usually all questions get answered but remember not everyone can know everything about unique situations so people get tired of answering the 3.3 gpa, 3.5 sci gpa, 25 MCAT, EMT questions.
Specific questions like yours were application questions that actually can help people out. If you're trying to search a particular thread, its actually alot easier then searching the whole forum. If we keep all the same information together, it cuts down on clutter and gives a great resource to pull information out of. I know its confusing for newer members but we're trying to make it easier to find things and I'd like to work on updating the FAQ to reflect some of the questions, like your own. Many of these questions get asked every single year and I debated on whether or not that should have been merged but since we're trying to keep all topics together I thought it was best. I could follow the responses for yours though. I do appreciate your feedback and any other feedback that you guys have about how the forum works. Unfortunately we don't have the control to fix everything the way we'd like but I know that the mods work to make it a "happy" place for everyone. 😀
If you have any input please don't hesitate to contact someone about your thoughts. We value feedback from our members since that is the whole reason why we are here, to help you.
