I don't know about Stanford, but for the so called "Ivy League Schools" in general, don't forget the importance of who is your Daddy--but don't be surprised if that isn't covered in most presentations. It is part of the hidden America, you know, where it matters most who you are, not what you are.
Exactly
19:27 is very helpful! Thanks for the statistics on admission!
You can´t say "very delighted", either you´re delighted or not, there´s no scale of how delighted you are. You can´t be "mildly" delighted or "somewhat" delighted.
Ahh I LOVE being Language Police :D
Proper respec to the Docs out there, my Dad was a surgeon.
Get a real job.
I don't know, I think if you met two people at a conference who said they were delighted, and one of them that day had been running around the conference happily shaking hands with everyone he saw because he was "very delighted" and the other wasn't, you'd probably detect a difference in their 'delight' and maybe even question your own definition. Also if you look at Cambridge dictionary -- delighted = "very pleased" sooo sorry but your absolutist definition doesn't hold water. As a 'language police officer' you are fired. You are a disgrace. - Sincerely yours, Language Internal Affairs.
Thank you. Please be advised that you can´t fire me. I already resigned :)
And..point taken :)
Appreciate of this video.
Thank you
Amazing advice! Thank you so much!
I shared this video with my school(Creighton University) Pre-Med Society and other Pre-Med Students. :-)
15:30-15:53 is great
I’m just so worried on how anyone can afford to interview to medical schools in other states..
I know right!
Can anyone make out what the audience member was asking at 45:35 ??? that made Dr. Garcia give the reply that it would be "naive and self-centered" ?
Something along the lines of "what are some of the pitfalls that people fall into when writing a personal statement?" Dr. Garcia responds by saying that too many people come off as "naive and self-centered" when writing them.
oh ok that makes sense thanks :)
how about build more medical schools in the USA, like a lot more.
wheres the funding gonna come from
actually it would be better to convert existing colleges into medical schools, you know because they have they nice shinny new student centers and all, and the fact that US universities have/hadbeen on a building spree for a while
Rune Mamba maybe Trump can use the money that he wants to take to build "the wall"
Grace Do He might spend it all on his trips to Mar-a-largo first
The AMA does not WANT more schools; they want the number of doctors artificially low to command resultant higher wages--supply and demand economics. How many people have all of us known with straight A's, in math, science, and anything else, relevant experience--and no admission. How can that be? Still insist on being a Doctor like my friend Gary? Ok, leave the country (as he did) and become fully certified somewhere in the Eastern block, then return as a Doctor. Just wonderful
I thought about medicine, but chemical engineering sounded better, plus its an instant pay off after graduation enough that pursuing a graduate degree or Phd is pointless unless you want to be an instructor... I couldn't possibly sacrifice my entire young adult life going to school for 4 more yrs plus 6 yrs of residency and not making squat or receiving one red cent of respect from peers or even the nurses for all my perilous troubles.. Its true what they say, it does take a special person to pursue medicine.....
All you seem to care about is the money; not the benefit of actually helping people in need and improving the quality of life.
I don't know if it is fair to Lemurai to say "only" money; I think if I may defend him/her, it may be he/she values...both. I always told my kids "don't tell me money is everything, but don't tell me it's nothing, either.
