[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students from privileged backgrounds still have to study hard and grind for a shot at medical school. They're not going out on Tuesday nights or wasting time playing video games or beer pong. They're in the library studying organic chemistry. Just like the students from working and middle class backgrounds who want to go to medical school. Pre-med - like engineering - is hard work. And everyone understands that by mid-terms in their first semester of college when they go through the weed out classes. And those weed out classes are there for a reason. They are specifically designed to get rid of the students who don't have the smarts or the work ethic to succeed in what are necessarily difficult programs.

If a [b]sophomore doesn't have the discipline or talent it takes to get into medical school, they should change majors quickly. It has nothing to do with friends or class background. It has to do with drive. It's either there or it's not.  [/b]
