Could you please find a way to modify the information so it's not too identifying. I think this is something extremely important and needs to be shared with everyone especially pre-med applicants
I am not a part of the class of 2024, but I have personally had both instances where I’ve needed to go to admin with my own concerns, as well as situations where admin have come to me with concerns they had about me. I really do feel they handled it as well as they could’ve for the given situations. However, my experience was not the same as many of the students in the NYT article, as I’m sure they would have very different sentiments regarding admin encounters (any lurkers feel free to correct/share your thoughts).
I am honestly very happy here and would choose this place again, as the mentors and friends have been an incredible aspect of my time here. However, I also do not want to downplay the gravity of what happened and make it seem like other voices and different opinions are incorrect or lesser than mine because we’ve shared different experiences. Right now admin are definitely at a point where they are down very bad and I think they realize they will be constantly under rapid fire scrutiny for a while.
Lastly- I’d really like to just encourage all to take the above (my own) opinions with a grain of salt, as well as any other opinions you’ve heard/read, and just remember that they are experiences of one person and they do not fit the experience of every student at the school. I apologize for not being able to speak more directly about all that has happened, but because I am not very close with the class of 2024, I do not want to speculate on how they’re feeling today.
If you want more details please feel free to PM me, I’m working through my inbox currently (sorry for those I haven’t gotten to yet).
*For those of you questioning my request to remain anonymous… I wanted to say that the reason is mostly just to keep anyone in my class from giving me **** if they see I’m still very active/lurking around on sdn lol. I wouldn’t mind if the admin saw anything I have/will write, as most of these opinions/feedback I’ve already shared with them.
P.S. For those of you who have been accepted, I believe a couple of the “admin” on the accepted students Facebook page are current members of the class of 2024 and I would bet/hope that they’d be willing to share more specifics if you reach out.
