On average a person with a 35 is more intelligent and is more likely to be a better physician. To get that score requires hard work and dedication, not to speak of innate ability. Top physicians, i.e. the great names, tend to have done well on the MCAT and tend to have gone to top schools.

No..just no... not even going into the whole subjectivity of what is smart.

Anyways you contradict yourself, is a high mcat score indicative of higher intelligence or a harder worker. They would say that its almost impossible to get a 30+ on the mcat just going off of overall intelligence. However if you spend 3 months on the mcat you're more then likely going to get a 30+.
In medical school its not about being brilliant but rather being good at studying. Now where this applies to being a good physician is beyond me since going further doing badly on the USMLE doesn't mean you'll be a bad doctor either. Sure it'll mean your stuck with a IM/FM residency and likely low pay. But Again this doesn't inheritly mean they will be bad doctors.

Anyways your overall post is asinine. Followed by you pretending to know that the famous doctors of the country did well stat-wise. Well I can think of a few doctors who have attended lesser known schools and turned out to be great. Such as Enrico Fazzini whom is a famous neurologist who went to DMU in the 1980's and got in with a 3.3/22 ( If I remember correctly).
So in the end I just leave off with the advice that you think before you post.

pwnd!!! I work in a hospital and I can second everything above!!! We have doctors educated at Harvard that I wouldn't let near my room if I was a patients there, and We have doctors here from SGU that I would pay extra to see if I was a patient!!!

Hahaha yah I kinda wish I had proofread my post a bit. But meh it was 1 AM and serenade has no grammatical abilities at 1 am 😀.
The end result is that you can read the best books, be surrounded by the best doctors, and be a expert research-wise in your field But still end up being an inept doctor who can't manage to effectively walk in and say hello without breaking down.

Dumb just dumb...shouldn't you be in English 102 right now?

 

[emjayel]

Why do you even want to become a DO? You're planning to attend a medical school who has a philosophy based on treating the whole person, yet you want to degrade medical school applicants into one score on one test? Ridiculous.

Not everyone can be a "top physician."

So, what's the minimum MCAT that someone should achieve prior to starting medical school? That's the first thing you have to do before complaining about admissions statistics.

 

[Dr Yiot]

guys stop arguing with this kid. He knows about this more than anyone cause he has taken the exam a bagillion time right out of high school and pulled in the thirties like crazy. What I don't get is he posted that some with a 35 is on average going to be a better physician than someone with a 26 or a 27.....the average mcat for the school he will matriculate in just a few years from now.

 

[FutureCTDoc]

So you legitimately believe that lower MCAT scores are indicative of nothing? To score in the 30s, one needs both intelligence and drive. However this isn't the crux of my argument. Do you recognize that residencies will become more competitive as more students enter into US medical schools? This is becoming increasingly clear. Last year was the first year in the history of the NRMP when there were more unmatched US seniors than scramble positions.

There are three options, increase residency slots, bar FMGs or no longer allow for new schools. Option one seems most attractive, however where would the funding come from? Traditionally they are Medicare financed, the number has not been increased in a long time. Option two is to bar FMGs from the match. This would allow for them to pick over unmatched positions and would allow for better chances for US students. This would allow there to be as many USMGs as there are spots. Option three is to stop acredditing new schools. I often here that new schools are designed to serve "the underserved". This could be done by old schools by dropping their tuitions.

I recognize you don't want to hear this, but plum positions like radiology, anaesthesia and orthopaedics, will become increasingly difficult to match into, as if they weren't hard enough already. There is no compelling reason to increase the difficulty of matching.

The MCAT is the only way that applicants can be fairly measured. Also I hate to say it, but any decent attending allopathic or osteopathic will treat the whole person, it's nothing unique to DOs.

I'm a capitalist, so your argument is failing with me... You're saying that competition is bad? I guess you aren't so sure about your intelligence and/or study habits...

If it becomes more competitive to match into those specialties that just means better qualified candidates are going to match into their cush specialties, leaving good competitive applicants for slots in FP and IM, two types of physicians very much in demand right now. So, there will be very few if any active slots remaining and the ones filled up will go to the best students. I do, however, agree that residency programs will need to begin opening up more slots to accommodate the increasing need for physicians, but I think they should open them in FM and IM, not the cush specialties you would like them to open up.

That makes no sense in response to my post... Competition drives prices down, not up, and provides the option/s of quality and/or price.


...and I clearly addressed quality in my post...

edit: just decided i don't want anyone saying anything mean about anyone so i retract my discussion question. =)

If you would go back and re-read that is not what I said at all. Statistically doing well on the mcat = doing well on the usmle =/= being a good doctor. That is what I have a problem with.
Yes, I recognize this fact. Do you recognize that this has no relanvence to this conversation outside of showing us your rationale? Sure it'll get harder, have you forgotten the fact that 10 years ago you could gotten into medical school with a 3.2/20? People will apply differently and more fittingly to their stats. No longer will you have people with low stats thinking they can land Ortho or ENT just because they attend an MD school. Sorry if increased competition isn't favorable to your existence.

Option three is to stop acredditing new schools. I often here that new schools are designed to serve "the underserved". This could be done by old schools by dropping their tuitions.
Increasing residency slot will not occur soon, it will happen eventually. Baring FMG's is happening via the VSPR system. Stopping the addition of more schools is a stagnant path. I'm under the impression you have very little real world experience. Tuition drops would lower quality and if you want the government to subsidize then its the same problem with increasing residency slots ( FYI there are tons of IM & FM positions across the US, the problem is no one wants to do them, everyone wants ROADS).

I recognize you don't want to hear this, but plum positions like radiology, anaesthesia and orthopaedics, will become increasingly difficult to match into, as if they weren't hard enough already. There is no compelling reason to increase the difficulty of matching.

So what? Less people will fight for those specialties and more will go into primary care. And guess what? That is the goal as it will cause a shift towards filling those residencies. I'm sorry but you've failed to support your argument. You argument is basically just I'm sad because I don't want to fight for a high paying residency, I somehow should deserve it.


Basically mightymoose summed it up pretty well on his own.

FutureCTDoc?

As a Professor of Anatomy for over thirty years in both allopathic and now osteopathic schools of medicine? (Including, frankly, Harvard Medical School): I state categorically that initial MCAT scores and purely "highest" level educational experiences DO NOT equate even approximately to a student's eventual "ability" as a caring AND competent physician.

Step back, please. Becoming a physician is not equivalent to becoming an automobile mechanic. You are young yet. You have time to reflect and to collate relevant data. But, I feel confident in stating that if you profess these sort of ideas to ANY medical school admissions committee (known/unknown school; MD/DO; research/non-research; etc) - you will have zero chance of becoming a physician. Period.

BTW: I understand that you may very well think that I am making all this up as some messaging troll or impostor. If so, please feel free to PM me - I will be happy to prove my credentials to you.

I guess I could pose my discussion question which I previously retracted on this thread to you. This individual already has an acceptance to a medical school. If you were an admin of this school would you consider rescinding his acceptance on the basis of the derogatory, immature statements he has posted on the forums? Or would some type of counsel be in order?

It's pretty easy to figure out his true identity based on some of his previous posts. I found him on facebook in less than two minutes. I hope that his posts are all just some bizarre way of relieving stress. I know I've made a few posts of which I'm not particularly proud for similar reasons. However, he seems to have a pattern of this type of behavior, and though I don't know him personally, I would have to question whether he would be a good fit for osteopathic (or any) medical school. I'm just wondering what a school admin would think or do in this situation.

To futurectdoc: If you are upset, depressed, just blowing off steam or trying to start fights, be careful. Admin read this site.... I easily figured out who you are, and they will too...

Why is that? I didn't suggest what I thought an admin should do. I'm curious. I have some insight and experience behind this question. 🙂

Edit: Also, my advice for him was completely genuine and coming from someone who learned a similar lesson the hard way.

 

[Siggy]

So you legitimately believe that lower MCAT scores are indicative of nothing?

No. My argument is that to be concerned with 'low admission statistics' requires one to define what an unacceptably low standard is. If standards are too low then I'd like to see a reason besides, "Well, ___ school was able to attract better applicants."

Do you recognize that residencies will become more competitive as more students enter into US medical schools? This is becoming increasingly clear. Last year was the first year in the history of the NRMP when there were more unmatched US seniors than scramble positions.

What's your argument, then. Is it that there's too many medical student spots or some schools have 'unacceptably low' (yet what is acceptable remains undefined) admissions statistics. You're now making both arguments.

There are three options, increase residency slots, bar FMGs or no longer allow for new schools. Option one seems most attractive, however where would the funding come from? Traditionally they are Medicare financed, the number has not been increased in a long time. Option two is to bar FMGs from the match. This would allow for them to pick over unmatched positions and would allow for better chances for US students. This would allow there to be as many USMGs as there are spots. Option three is to stop acredditing new schools. I often here that new schools are designed to serve "the underserved". This could be done by old schools by dropping their tuitions.

So you've changed your argument from too many schools on the "wrong side of the median for both GPA and MCAT" to "too many spots." Sorry, but just because the 'too low admissions statistics' argument was blown out of the water doesn't mean you get to try a new argument and then say that our counter arguments don't work against your new, unaddressed, position.

I recognize you don't want to hear this, but plum positions like radiology, anaesthesia and orthopaedics, will become increasingly difficult to match into, as if they weren't hard enough already. There is no compelling reason to increase the difficulty of matching.

Considering that, at this point of my medical education, I don't want to go into either of those three, I couldn't care less if those fields get more competitive.

So naturally I can't study as much as someone who has mommy and daddy send him checks for his tuition and his toys! so based on our futurect(cardiothoracic LOL, I bet he watches too much grey's anatomy)doc, since I didn't get a 35 I must be a *******! You're gonna learn your lesson in medschool when someone with much lower mcat score pwns your ass in all rotations and get a CT residency!

Congrats, you found me. I make no secret of who I am or what school I attend. I don't need to hide behind some SN. I hold opinions, ones that a lot of people disagree with. However, I will continue to post my opinions. What I've made clear, is that the soul of osteopathic medicine is being sapped. These new schools, are on the whole poorer academically, they don't bring in new residencies and they don't add anything to the equation.

What concerns me about you is the ad hominem nature of your post. My political view points are common in medicine. My statements are not derogatory, nor immature, not that this is germaine to this thread.

If admin do read the site, I'd be proud to stand by my words.

Too upset, when did everyone get so damn serious on SDN? I don't agree with 99% of what Future says, and in my opinion I think he'll make a crappy clinician...of course he is probably all of 19 and has a TON of maturing to do so he could turn it around or he could go into research.

Revoking an acceptance to medical school because of what he's posted on these boards is extreme imo.

I agree. This guy is 19/20 years old and his opinions will change over time. Regardless, his attitude about this topic is not indicative as to how he will perform as a physician, but rather that he has some opinions others don't share (including me).

After reading a few of jhu6569's posts, his opinions are equally as extreme, but like this guy, he is entitled to have them.

On average a person with a 35 is more intelligent and is more likely to be a better physician. To get that score requires hard work and dedication, not to speak of innate ability. Top physicians, i.e. the great names, tend to have done well on the MCAT and tend to have gone to top schools.

Ahhhh, I take it you have done an extensive survey of physicians that you have deemed both competent and incompetent in order to make such assertions. You're seriously killing me. Please be sure to post back here when you do take your MCAT so that we can all label you prematurely about your future abilities.

While I think you're probably right, it's really not a bad idea to start watching what you say on here now. I am the type of person that hates to feel controlled to the point where I have to censor my thoughts, but it really is necessary. When I showed up to my interview at DCOM, the tour guide who is an absolute staple to the admissions office there, immediately knew who I was by screen name on SDN. YEAH. Some might be intimidated by that, but I was ecstatic really since he knew my story. Anyway, on top of just that, professionalism is emphasized SO much at DCOM- they aren't messing around when it comes to comments made on websites. So yeah, it is extreme, but you can't deny that it can and has been an issue for people before.

His familiarity with me might have had something to do with my being a re-applicant (though he didn't seem to remember me from the previous year necessarily), plus my picture is on here. Also, I was on the forum for DCOM so much being a cheerleader in addition to seeking advice from others, so it really wasn't that surprising that he remembered me. I was a bit obsessive with my posting 🙂
