flip: I cannot figure out what has caused your crusade against me. I have not said anything to justify the comments you have made. While you're at it, why don't you go call Spud Webb and tell him he's too short to win the dunk contest, or tell Drew Brees he's too small to be a pro quarterback - let alone lead the league in passing yards. Face it, when people are faced with adversity they often find honest ways to overcome it. Usually it involves a great deal of work.
That said, looking through your post history suggests you have not yet even applied. I am amazed at the wisdom you have gained about something you have not yet done. You should go into the residents forums and give them tips on how to get a good fellowship - you seem to like giving advice you have no credentials to give. If you have a problem with what I have said, come talk to me. I will be easy to find... just look for the person in the short, dorky, white coat. Thank you for your continued attempts to ruin what was intended to be a positive thread. I will no longer respond to you.
On that note, This thread had an intent when I started it that has gotten lost in the static.
As I was going through the application process this year, I found sanity in threads or mdapps that showed successes of people with less than desirable stats. THis was simply my attempt to pay it forward. For those of you out there in a similar situation, work your tail off, be honest, genuine, and hopefully you will find the same success I have. Also, be realistic and realize that it is going to be an uphill battle... but you will learn a great deal about yourself through the process. And if you succeed, it will feel that much better to know that your dream is coming true.
