REAL PROFILES

I've started something new. On the side bar I've started listing everyone I personally know who has journeyed to med school, law school, dental school or nursing school.... and a few details about them. Some are traditional students, some non-trads, and some are REALLY non-trads. The point is to see that there are WAYYY more who've had difficulty getting in than those who breezed in with perfect grades and scores directly out of undergrad. And some with perfect scores and grades who never got in at all. As I remember more, I'll add to the list...

PS: NONE of these are students in my med school class. They are all from my previous life.

    Haha, I don't know whether to curse you or thank you! Getting into medical school, based on those profiles, generally seems to be a roll of the dice. I wonder if those with high GPAs and MCAT scores were lacking in other departments which prevented their gaining acceptance. I reckon it's true that some extraordinarily brilliant folks aren't exactly personable... hm.

    I think I'll thank you =P
