Top tier UG without merit scholarship, middling GPA (like a respectable 3.2 at Princeton), good MCAT. Acceptance to a mid tier medical school.

Good luck with that

I like how your performance in undergrad and your MCAT score determines your career trajectory.

It happens 👍

 

[MilkmanAl]

I'd like to advise all you high school kids out there to go ahead and ignore pretty much everything that results from this thread.

 

[aSagacious]

Agreed, but the way in which he presented it made it seem as if it is commonplace.

I'm still confused as to what the purpose of this thread is.

um well... great fictional story there... now back to your regular programming.

PS. Ignore the OPs stuff, you make yourself. end of story.

 

[HH Holmes]

This reminds me of one of those totally unrealistic "Choose Your Own Adventure" books from the 90s.



I hated those.

Rather confident as a second semester freshman, eh?

Whoa whoa, I only pointed that out because convention around here is for one to put a medical school's name with class year in their signature if they've been accepted or are already attending, and unless I'm missing something, you haven't applied yet.

On a jocular note, LOL @ high school senior pulling the inexperience card on a college student (especially when I never said anything to imply I'm confident about anything.)

He's doing a BS/MD so technically he has already been accepted (conditionally?) there.

I thought about that, but I figured those are usually done within a single institution, and I didn't bother to go Google Shepherd University and WVU and check for ties. In any case, his response was needlessly defensive and I stand by my LOL comment above.

-Technically, I did have to apply. How would one be accepted to the affiliated med school if they did not go through the application and interview process?

On a jocular note, LOL @ high school senior pulling the inexperience card on a college student (especially when I never said anything to imply I'm confident about anything.)

-I wouldn't laugh considering that I'm ahead of you in every step of the horrible game known as the "medical school admissions process."

No

No

As is customary in SDN, if I spelt it right, it would've only been a matter of time before somebody would quote me and post that 'humerus' picture.

Gigantron, you do realize how douchey this sounds, right?

You're right. Tell the admissions game that I'm sorry.

This thread sucks

 

[Earl Simmons]

Worst thread ever no.1 contender?

To be completely and totally honest, I would much rather be in my position than yours.

You're right. Tell the admissions game that I'm sorry.

You'll mature eventually.

 

[NickNaylor]

You're right. Tell the admissions game that I'm sorry.

Dude, you're a complete douche. This is the exact reason why high school students shouldn't be admitted to medical school. You have so much to learn.

 

[Gigantron]

I've learnt that acting how you act in real life and on the internet shouldn't be mixed. How I talk to people on the internet will obviously be much different than when I talk to parents with an autistic child. You should try to learn it sometime. It's certainly annoying when I have to deal with narcs in real life as well as SDN. I'll let you know that this whole thing started because I merely agreed with MilkManAl. So you call me defensive, but who are you to talk?


On a lighter note, everybodymad.

I'm just gonna throw this out there. If an OP creates a thread that he later would like to delete, he is free to do so if he is a gold donor.

This thread was suggested for worst ever. My original posts have no relevance and I want no further part of it. They were deleted.

 

[Gigantron]

Yeah, because I really just told everybody something so outrageous that it would be akin to saying that I'm a 6'4" olympic powerlifter.

Let me try to rephrase my last post by "smarting it up" for you, okay? I have a part of my brain that allows me to give different responses, depending on the situation I'm in. I've exercised it to such a great degree that I'm now able to respond to someone on the internet in one manner while being able to respond to the parents of an autistic child in an entirely different manner. It's an awesome skill. Again, I'd recommend developing it.

Also, I don't find it surprising that pre-meds and even medical students result to using profanity and 4chan as their only source of defense mechanisms. It makes it obvious that you guys really cannot produce thoughts more abstract than predicting who will win the Superbowl. Could you be any less unique? 🙂

Have you considered the possibility that us lowly college and medical students have decided to take the approach "never reason with a fool?" Your response was absolutely deserving of the pic (Poor premeds without a med school acceptance in hand. It is obvious that I, as a high school senior with a linkage program, clearly am superior.

Why should the fact that this is an internet forum invalidate it from civilized discourse? A good majority of us on SDN are quite amiable (both online and IRL), yet there are those of us who choose to use their anonymity to relentlessly troll. I could not stop laughing as you pulled the "I am mature, I deal with special needs individuals IRL."

In fact, I'm not even sure why I decided to reply to such an irrational series of posts.

Let me know how medical school admissions work out for you, sweetie. 😉

NO, NO, NO, a thousand times NO.

Are you kidding me? I mean…was this little bit of your post actually meant to be serious? You mean to tell me that having snotty premeds and medical students calling me a douche bag and posting 4chan memes is YOUR definition of civilized discourse? And here's the hilarity within this post…you actually had the gall to say that a good majority of "us" (obviously meant to imply you) are quite amiable on SDN. You mean to say that, even after you were acting like a child that I'm supposed to listen to your words and take them as something akin to biblical doctrine? Good one.

But the sad part is, because I'm a high school student, I will be the one that receives the warning or the probationary status or whatever after this whole thing is over, despite no use of profanity or starting fights with anyone.

People are who they are. And you, my cute little friend…*sigh*…you make these silly comments that rest on flawed assumptions. Not to say I don't have my share of shortcomings, but they certainly aren't the reason I'm enjoying our conversation so much. That's just raw enjoyment at others' expense. It's just the way I am. Maybe that itself is a shortcoming, but I certainly don't do it to make up for any.

There's a first time for everything.
