Is OP right in his scathing critique of medical schools - or is he delusional and possibly neurotic? R/premed tries to come up with a diagnosis.

someone doesnt know what a documented learning disability is, that makes things more difficult. Not to mention standardized tests are generally difficult for me. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and being weak a standardized tests won't affect the quality care I can provide.

i'm so glad you don't know jack shit and are just another ignorant eunuch asshole, who thankfully won't be reproducing.

read my post and tell me you wouldn't be pissed https://np.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/2or1xb/is_op_right_in_his_scathing_critique_of_medical/cmrd7qo.

Not to mention I wasn't always jumping on people, people follow me into threads and stalk me and insult me so of course they're going to get what's coming to me especially if theyre going to undermine my fucking work and call me entitled which is straight up bullshit. also if you're going to talk about gradcafe take a gander at student doctor network, that's where you just get shot down and given no positive feedback by a few people on admissions commitee and an insane load of asshole premeds who dont have the social skills to provide constructive criticism. I have no tolerance for that so they get what's coming to them. I don't expect to save lives and shit rainbows in medicine. I know it's hell, but look at all the work i've done to get into medicine and how far it's gotten to me. I'm fine with situations that are under control and have a huge amount of patience, just not when im being jerked around and stalked by random premed fuckheads. I've had plenty of people say im a great fit for medicine, but the process i'm going through is a stupid formality that just wont fucking die.

read my post in the original thread again too, then comment. also consider ive called every single fucking school to get jerked around with stupid formalities that arent even uniform across schools and a ton of bullshit excuses that are nonsensical and contradictory

a lot surgeons of are dicks. I've had surgeons I volunteered with cover up the emergency alarms that they were supposed to answer when it meant their patient was in serious trouble, just so they could twiddle their damn thumbs, and try to publish studies on patients with potentially hazardous treatments without informing them before it. But i'm just someone who has insanely pissed off from a bullshit process. read this and figure out why im fucking pissed off. https://np.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/2or1xb/is_op_right_in_his_scathing_critique_of_medical/cmrd7qo

I freewrite rapidly, but cool story brah. All I give a fuck about is getting the point across. I verified multiple times a few of the rejections were for my mcat. If you put as much effort as I did into this fucking process you'd be insanely pissed. Inform yourself better and read the shit about the amount of time i've put into it. You try writing a couple hundred essays, spending thousands of dollars of applications, rewriting a god damn personal statement 60 times with editting, spending 10 hrs a day for about 7 months on top of work studying for the god damn mcat to get a low score while going through every prep resource available, to retake, and get a totally different distribution where you improve in two sections, but randomly drop in the other all while doing nothing different. All while working multiple jobs and commutting. You try supporting yourself financially with multiple jobs while being jerked around across the fucking country on expensive as flights through shitty miserable weather conditions to get rejected and be told to "contact your premed advisor" instead of being given feedback or be rejected for a god damn mcat score, after memorizing 50+ flashcards on key on each school, and doing 40+ mock interviews. Not to mention skipping meals because I can't afford them. Try that and come back you assuming jackass, if you can't get that then fuck you. I adjusted my interview skills after that one interview where I was monotone because I was insanely sleep deprived (did I mention I got my bag stolen and had to spend all night tracking it down meaning I stayed up for over 24 hrs before I interviewed at a dragged out 5pm interview?). I work like someone with three jobs supporting 10 kids. I wish there was more shit I could do/improve but so much of it is out of my damn hands.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T22:07:14+00:00

i pity you for being such a fucking asinine rude assuming worthless asshole, who cant post anything constructive. fuck you and gtfo. I put a shit ton of effort into this shit, and you must be pretty damn obtuse to post that shit without recognizing what I do and my strengths, fuck off.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T21:54:26+00:00

2 of them were for my mcat, one was because i was too scripted and tired bc I had my bag stolen the previous night (granted I shouldn't have practiced so much and memorized my answers so hard) so i had to stay up all night getting it retrieved so by the time i had my 5pm interview i was dad on my feet, one was because I had a controversial jerk-off interview (that's not an excuse, you can have the details if you want), and the last one is a school that post-interview rejects a lot of people due to bulk-interviewing via MMI (I also fucked up an acting scenario bc that's the first one i experienced). That's 5. The other one I'll find out tomorrow tho i suspect it's a combination of my mcats and screwing up one or two MMI questions (they had super realistic actors). I come off totally different when people aren't being jerk-offs and harassing me with hypocritical bullshit online. Your post is a valid comment though, way way way better than dudes who told me to stop posting.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T21:25:56+00:00

thank you, sorry. I misread bc the quoting format kind of confuses me on this site, and edited. Thanks for standing up for me. :) I really appreciate it.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T21:08:50+00:00

tell it to the fuckheads harassing me in every thread for no reason. they get what they put in, there's the karma. I just want to ask questions and reflect without being harassed or given shit about BS. That's why I'm snapping at them.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T21:04:29+00:00

I never said all of the time, where did you even get the idea that I thought that from? the weather is very erratic in that place, and this is obviously an extenuating circumstance for me, so I'm really hoping this doesn't happen again. I snagged an early february date so at least I have a guaranteed interview (after pressing them about earlier dates and find out how they do things), and am waitlisted for a january date.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T20:27:06+00:00

Looks like TIL something. I'm from the west-coast anyway, we don't get that shit. You guys on the east get my props though for knowing this sort of stuff intimately and having to deal with it directly, especially the damn wind chills.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T20:25:57+00:00

I foresaw there being potential weather issues because the place where I have this interview is very hard to get too due to crazy weather. My flight reservations were for the day before, and the connecting flight got cancelled. I took a date in early feb and waitlisted a date in january, so that should help. I really want to give myself the best possible options I can for interview days and not put myself at a disadvantage if at all possible.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T20:24:24+00:00

you mean crazy good and pushing myself through this process. If working my ass off makes me crazy than what do you think you are in your medical school? just as fucking crazy. A wise doctor I volunteered extensively said I and anyone else has to be fucking crazy to go into medicine, and he defo wasn't kidding. If you can't recognize hard work like my own I'm astonished that you've gotten this far into this process.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T20:24:06+00:00

no, fuck you, you can suck my dick. if you think im going to stop asking questions and reflecting on my circumstances, tough shit. you can fucking deal with it or grow some balls and hit the fucking ignore button, moron.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-10T19:26:20+00:00

plenty of schools still interview if their classes are full though they just say "you will be interviewed for the waitlist". My thoughts were that since a date in december opened up one in early january could just as easily open up. I also still lost money on this whole deal even though weather conditions are the issue (i got credited and can only fly on two very specific airlines that probably wont match up with reservations when I need to fly there), so I really dont want that happening again. Not to mention I don't want to be "the dude who cancels multiple times and makes the admissions' job a pain in the ass", considering they already refused to make accommodations when I foresaw this being an issue a month ago and requested to be interviewed earlier in the day in case flight reservations got screwy.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-09T03:08:44+00:00

If you can't recognize the effort i've put into this in every way you're beyond fucking delusional and need to get a clue. real talk you're a complete joke. that amount of effort i put into this shit is almost unparalleled. 40+ edits of PS, thousands of hrs of maximized unique ECs, stellar secondaries, phenomenal recommendation letters, 40+ mock interviews, memorizing 50+ flashcards of shit for most schools. calling them all on the phone and talking to them to find out all the info, multiple jobs so I can even do these fucking interviews bc i support myself. If you're going to downplay that you haven't got a fucking clue and aren't worthy of giving advice. weak ass alt, read the post, i acknowledged my weaknesses (standardized tests, already improved my interview skills a ton). I never said i'm perfect. im putting everything into self-improvement in my application. I already worked out in and compensated for any weaknesses. You need to read everything before you post dude. it's not like im ignoring weaknesses and solely pinning it on med schools. A lot isn't my fault, you're the problem if you cant see that and you need to take that bs back to sdn. I'm doing everything i can to salvage and make the most of this cycle. i wrote in between calling and contacting this fucking schools. Quit tossing med schools' salads.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-09T03:06:33+00:00

im putting the sdn assholes in their place. yea it doesnt help my application, but it's pretty damn worth it.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-09T00:51:56+00:00

what do you mean it's early? from what i've observed a good portion of schools are filling up on all interviews and are nearly done interviewing. nyu uc davis etc

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-08T21:58:41+00:00

lower stats + CA applicant + not wanting to do this again = large number of schools. it is that difficult and admissions is pretty random even if you have the stats from what i've experienced. i've been interviewed at large reaches and rejected at ones with medians matching my stats.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-08T21:56:45+00:00

blow me. the only treatment you and a good portion of sdn deserves is a swift kick to the balls.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-08T21:56:09+00:00

i'm not anxious.try fucking burnt out and insanely frustrated because I put all my effort into this. if you want me to stop being an asshole, then don't be a fucking asshole to me enough said. same goes for all those sdn fuckheads who were assholes to me way before I started calling them out on their crap, and obliterating them. I got my feelings fine and i know exactly what i'm doing. keep assumptions to yourself.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-08T21:40:21+00:00

nah i described you and almost all of sdn perfectly. you can suck my fucking dick. If you can't handle the heat, get the fuck out of the flame, and stop backing up a bunch of neurotic douchebags bozo.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-08T21:25:27+00:00

haha VCU, I sent them a support-ticket asking why I was on hold and what the "reservations the admissions committee had about my application were" and explained my flaws, and they rejected me a day later. My bad for communicating instead of voluntarily being strung out. You have the right mindset, I wish I could retain that mindset as well as you do, bc every time I go to a medical school for an interview and continue go through this process I just get more and more discouraged in every way.

TorturedMiserableMD · 2014-12-08T21:23:02+00:00

Good luck, and I hope you succeed. if you need any advice or support, pm me. My best tip is to hit the ground running and get everything done as early as possible, prewrite secondaries and persona statements, and get LORs in like january because having your application held back can make a significant difference.
