It's 10 years old. A veritable SDN classic!
The best part was when the OP came back a year or two ago and posted about his life since. Pretty awesome.

hey guys,
the original poster is back for yet another cameo. i'm graduating in two months, and i hate to say it, but for most of medical school you are force-fed poop hot dogs, so you might as well get used to it now. seriously, medicine is a truly unique and special profession, and if you think you're above gobbling down a foot long to get into medical school, think again. it's all worth it, sort of.

It is I, the great Milhouse Van Houten. Every year or so I check up on my beloved thread topic that I dreamed up while studying late for the MCATs. So long ago. I'm now an attending. I'm married. It's crazy. But, ladies and gentlemen, I can assure you it's worth it. A poop hot dog is a small price to pay for the joy of being a physician. I don't think I'd eat a poop hot dog to get into my FIRST CHOICE medical school, but i certainly would eat one to get into A medical school. BTW, not joking, you will sooner or later get stool in your mouth at one point or another during your medical training, via a poop hot dog or other vehicle. for me it happened as medical student performing a rectosigmoid exam with the scope. straight into my face when the patient beared down. yuck! also when the GI docs do ERCP's--be wary of the wire!! I wonder what has happened to the other posters of my generation, like morningstar and scoobydoo. so funny that 8 or 9 years ago when i posted this my biggest fear was my 8 in the verbal section. holy crap, that stuff is SO MEANINGLESS and POINTLESS at this stage. are you professional, are you courteous, are you punctual? are you competent? that's all that matters folks!!
It would be interesting to see if other people have made it into their top choice school and how they're doing now.
