[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Med school admissions has become so ridiculously and farcically impossible that some very smart, accomplished people have been forced to resort to other paths to becoming physicians. It has truly reached the point of absurdity. [/quote]

It was always hard.[/quote]
Yes, but it is next level now. [/quote]

I keep hearing that it’s so much harder, but the med students really haven’t gotten any better over the last 15 years since I’ve been on the faculty of two different medical schools.

The 4 or 5 Caribbean med school grads and DO trainees that I have worked with on a daily basis are fine. I would go to one for most things.
They haven’t been the top of the top with regard to intellectual curiosity, but most doctors aren’t - regardless of what school they attended. All have been very diligent and hard workers.[/quote]
Of course they are not actually “better” at being doctors, probably worse. But, they have become better only at taking tests, grade grubbing, and extracurricular box checking, and other opportunistic BS.  :roll:

It really is that US med schools are picking worse candidates yet at the same time making it harder for smart, socially adjusted students to get in....its pathetic...[/quote]
+ a million. [/quote]
