I will definitely reapply, as my heart is in medicine and there isn't really much you can do with a B.S. or M.S. Yeah the Med school admissions process is mysterious... And why not? That way it's much easier for people to give friends, allies and insiders a leg up, and thus abuse the system. It's impossible for me to believe that the med admissions process is entirely a level playing field. I'm sure that those people whose parents are doctors or family that is associated with ppl on some of these boards are living easy. I personally know someone whose parents donated a ton to their state school and like magic their daughter got off the waitlist. Hmm, luck, or fowl play? Maybe in the next year I should just become friends with a person in the admissions committee, seems like a better idea. Or... maybe they should make the admissions process more visible, and a better weeding out process than "well try again next year".... Maybe the requirements should be a little more than a few bs science classes and 1 standardized test. If I was in the place I was at now, I should have done a business major. That way, I could have a degree that would get me a reliable job, taken the easy route, and did the minor inconvience of med school prereqs in my free time.
For me, another year in the grand scheme of things is $$$$$$. I wonder how much tuition will go up for the 2014 class. With so much cutting in funding due to the economy, I wouldn't be surprised to get gutted by the university every passing year.
Well, I am just venting because of frustration, but whatever! I'll get in somewhere.... (then the whole bs process of getting a residency starts...) Gotta love this world of "don't hate the player, hate the game"... The game sucks, and we should fix it.
