I'd like to think we make up the majority of the above-average applicants for Med School... and I understand most of us here will not be researchers down the road, but hey who knows right?What is the probability that one of us will be a winner for the Noble Prize in Medicine 20-60 years down the road?

NOBLE PRIZE - mfrizzo3 - 0%

Nobel Prize - 100000000/1

It'll probably be someone with a 25 MCAT and a 3.0 GPA who barely got into medical school. Being above average means very little. The valedictorian of my high school class nearly failed out of college her first year.

Sometimes all it takes is a little guts.

They only give out Nobel prizes to those with over a 40 on the MCAT, so all you 39ers should probably consider retaking.

Yeah......but us under 40 crowd should be a shoe-in for the NOBLE prize.

Definitely, you have to be pretty high born to get into medical school with under a 40. Dad's a Count at least.

Seeing as most of us are going to practicing physicians and not making any scientific breakthroughs, I'd say the odds are pretty slim. Good luck MD/PhDs.

Well, if any of you do win a Nobel Prize decades from now, make sure you come back to SDN, dig this thread up, and holler.

 

[dmblue]

probability=42

Well, the money would be nice though, unless you couldn't care less.

How about the "irregardless?"

 

[Chemdude]

If I ever win the noble prize, I will donate my one million dollar reward to SDN-I promise...

 

[McPoyle]

"I would kill to win a nobel peace prize"... saw it on a shirt today

 

[BerlinDude]

100%. However, my statistics are only accurate 40% of the time.

 

[mfrizzo3]

LOL

dammit.........

 

[schrizto]

*gasp* The typo in the title! It's been corrected!

 

[boaz]

The Nobel Prize is awarded only to people with wild hair and colorful personalities, not to Marine snipers.

Dear Christ...would someone else field that for me, please? I have to go tear my hair out.

Depends on your nationality, sex and luck.

You may like to think that but you'd be wrong.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... missed the gist first time around.
