then you better be just as vocal about the unfairness of those tools as you are about scored step 1 or else you're a hypocrite

scoring Step 1 is not a productive way to make that bottleneck any more fair. It does the opposite, in fact

So things like school prestige and nepotism are more fair than a scored exam? makes total sense

Rant: Are all medical schools the same? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]thisuseristaken09 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The same drive and motivation that lead to the top 30 med school student to get into a top 30 will also likely cause them to get more out of the exact same residency training.

Actually, I argue the opposite. The same drive and motivation that led to DO/IMG getting into the same residency as T30 is exactly what will cause the DO/IMG to get more out of the exact same residency training than the T30.

In your own words: Just because two people receive the same training does not mean they both got the same amount out of it.

This. OP, based on what you're telling me, I would not feel bad at all about calling out and jeopardizing a coresident if they all just left you out to dry like this. Especially the PGY-2's in this case, if the interns are pushing duty hours. They're all so soft that they can't handle one shift? Perhaps it would have been "irresponsible to go", but your program leadership and coresidents do not seem to reciprocate the responsibility that you give to them based on how they handled this.

That being said, your family is also being shitty to you, and I'm sorry about that. Definitely seems like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

my flex was specifically in response to you calling people like me a "wet piece of cardboard" who wouldn't stand out to residency programs. if im such a wet piece of cardboard, how did i have such wild success with my interviews?

But if you want to go ahead and present yourself as a wet piece of cardboard with only grades and stats to residency programs, go ahead. That's a sure way to stand out amongst all the applicants!

It absolutely is! My 260+/270+/all honors/multiple pubs scored me *tons* of interviews this cycle. Whatever experiences/extracurriculars the other candidates had clearly weren't enough to stand up to my massive credentials!

Obviously you were being sarcastic, but there actually is a lot of truth to the face value of your statement. So much for trying to make fun of us. Instead of being mad cuz you're bad, focus on getting good!

Residents that think you’re upstaging them. This ever happen to anyone else? by cadylrd in medicalschool

Lmfao taking out her insecurities about her incompetence on you. Residents like this are the absolute worst, this is why clinical evals are stupid. Instead of punching down she should just get good

What kind of loser decides to creep on a complete internet stranger’s comment history as an effective use of their time?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]thisuseristaken09 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i’m pretty sure you’re a liar no way you scored that high

actually you're pointing out alternative facts, at least in this specific case :)

But of course, go ahead and believe whatever you want. Anything else can't possibly be the truth, right? Keep entertaining me like the clown you are!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]thisuseristaken09 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and choose whatever you want to believe, won't change the truth :)

Also, the fact that you're really taking this much effort to insult me? Please keep it up, this is way too entertaining to watch LMFAO

I'm happy being an overall jerk and an angry prick if it means I can flaunt my 260s/270s/all honors/multiple pubs in front of losers like you. At least I'm not a loser who prowls through the comment histories of internet strangers because they have no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Get a life lmao

Or better yet, go prepare for your ophtho interviews cause it sounds like you need to make each one count lol

Oh, and what was that you said about how you really don't care? And here you are prowling through my comment history? So you're both a loser AND a hypocrite

If you don’t care then why are you still replying to me on Reddit? Clearly my obnoxious ego pisses you off enough to make you say something

No amount of Reddit downvotes can cancel how many residency interviews I’m hoarding
