bleargh, I am going to definitely disagree with you. You have no proof to back your statements up. I can agree with the statement of schools passing you up if you are talking about a top 10 school or something at that nature, but there are plenty of schools who would see that you ARE capable of performing in medical school and can handle the curriculum, and is thus, a worthy candidate for admission.
Not only that, but if you are getting a 35 on an MCAT, that is pretty damn good, and that alone warrants some interest.
bleargh, you probably forgot too that if you are getting a 4.0 in either one of these programs, you are guaranteed an interview, and will most likely get into that school. Probably should point that out.
ges24, bleargh is not someone I would recommend listening to. Do your best, rock your program, whichever you may choose, and you are going to have a GREAT chance of landing somewhere. It may not be your first choice, but you will get in.
I hate when people throw out stuff stating that you don't have a chance because of your "numbers". Those are only half the equation. Numbers are not going to determine who is going to be the best physician down the road. What you do from medical school on is going to determine that.
Sorry for the venting, but people like bleargh just frustrate me.
ges24, in summary, don't listen to others, rock your program, get into medical school, and become a ten times better physician than some of the guys on here!
