[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want anyone other than the brightest and most capable people in charge of your medical care? [/quote]

I want more English speaking proven high IQ American kids becoming doctors, I don't want tens of thousands of them being arbitrarily weeded out with curved STEM courses and senseless hoops and hyper-selective medical schools rejecting them.[/quote]

They're being weeded out because they aren't good, not because of curved classes. My God, what sort of entitled snowflakes do you want in charge of your medical care? I certainly don't want a doctor who can't even handle a curved class. [/quote]

All of my dd's college friends speak perfect English, perfect grades in high school, perfect AP scores, and 98-99 percentile on their SAT – yet 50% of them are weeded out of pre-med just because? The [b]foreign trained[/b] MDs I've had are awful, to put it mildly. No chance the [b]average[/b] imported MD is as smart, accomplished and suited to be an MD as my daughter's classmates. And foreign colleges and med schools don't come close to a top American U. We have the best students, we have the best colleges, the best hospitals ... yet we weed out most of the kids who want to be doctors? It makes no sense![/quote]
