90% USMLE pass rate they say...seems a bit high
After Scandinavia and a trip into the arctic circle this year is going to feel mild af
I don't think you have a low opinion of wustl but you seem to think I'm a prestige *****!
I don't think you're a prestige ***** at all. You're probably periodically annoyed at Wash U's lack of recognition. But that's understandable considering that Wash U is more rigorous than most of its peer schools. And as I've mentioned in other threads, I hope it begins to distribute grades like Stanford, Dartmouth, Duke, etc.
I don't follow. What are they trying to compensate for? If you look at efle' post history (in regards to undergrads), you'll see that his focus is on rigor, not necessarily prestige.
I can't imagine caring about this.
Bitter cold.. St. Louis.....
lol I meant midwest, not st. louis specifically..
Makes more sense. I don't intend it as bragging, more of a, huh, that's weird that they consider that cold. It hit 90 here today and people flocked to the beach and complained of the heat. I totally understand that that is weird to a ton of people and that's cool too. That said, I wouldn't call it oppressive heat (though plenty of people here did)!
Sure but adcoms, especially @ private med schools, do.
No, the cold weather in STL sucks worse. I've only heard my Wash U friends from Cali complain about the cold, the sleet, the ice, the snowstorms; never once did I hear them complain about the heat during the summertime.
I'm not in STL anymore, thankfully. Miami weather is where it's at!
I'll never have to go to Boston for any reason.
So you won't even consider MGH, BWH, or Children's just b/c of locale?
I want to stay in the south. I won't be applying anywhere north of Philly.
What changed since MD application when you applied to NY schools?
Miami changes you. lol
I realized how much the cold sucks during my gap year in STL. Obviously. Also, lower COL in the south compared to big cities in the northeast.
I said we were Top 25, oops
