[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you see older DOs or MD from caribbean schools they were definitely not as smart or didn't study as hard in college. Maybe they had a hard upbringing or partied too much when they were young. It wasn't as hard 20-30 years ago to get into medical school as it is now. Now there is such an emphasis on diversity and inclusion that getting into medical school is much more than just grades and mcat scores. You can be pretty smart now and not get in because of all these factors and perhaps more applicants so I wouldn't look down as much on a younger DO or caribbean school graduate. Still when it comes down to it, most of medicine isn't that complicated and doesn't require as much brain power as getting all A's in college. [/quote] agree 100 percent,,,which worries me about my kid who wants to go to medical school....im trying to point them to other careers..[/quote] That's why you need to seek out an Asian male doctor who is young. If they went to an allopathic school recently, it must mean they are several standard deviations smarter than the average of the med school, because they need to be that much better to gain admissions these days. [/quote] true but someone who is that booksmart (and had to spends years volunteering) does not really have time to develop social skills..and social skills are as important as iq in medicine///now if you are a surgeon then you are just born with that-its a talent-like a beautiful singing voice--you cant learn it...[/quote]
