Not really better. All the same info as DCUM. There were earlier DCUM threads on this.
More detail there. Here's its all weird trolls focused on weird a** stuff.
I read it. For comparison. Every angle in there is also in one of the DCUM threads. Get AI to do a comparison.

The roommate is also giving narc, but that's a different issue.
Who cares if the roommate was a narc, she was right. And Katherina couldn’t stop her lying shenanigans and sounded like a nightmare roommate the entire time she was there (talking on the phone for hours in the room to her boyfriend, being messy and unhygienic, leaving trash and rotten food in the room, claiming to want to bring a cage into the room for her BSDM boyfriend to be in when he comes to visit, like WTF). She couldn’t just have gone along with average college freshman and acted quasi normal. If your own kid called you and told you she had a roommate line this you absolutely would be telling her to report it.

Even worse, medical schools these days are full of DEI admits. Scary!
Probably because for years we only had access to mediocre white men docs. Unfortunately, they're still in abundance.
They're even pardoned by President Trump when they scam Medicare!

This is why you can't hire 23 yo AO and expect them to do anything. Lazy lazy lazy.
Not related, but that kid is a tribal member and also in charge of native recruitment.
I'd imagine a lot of "fraud" there too.

I still remember my husband's dorky tag. It was a golden trophy shape that said "World Class 'First Name' Student" on it. The first name was centered on the trophy so that it interrupted the "World Class Student" phrase. We called him World Class 'First Name' Student" for a few weeks because of that.

Yalie here, and this is all so strange. I actually remember one of my classmates was from ND. There were so few of them on campus I think they had a little informal club or something.

Weak links- Essays, geographic diversity, racial/ethnic diversity, ED, accommodations, family income, sports, research projects, non-profits. All of the above can be Mis-represented in different ways. Don’t know what the solution is. One standardized exam for all that includes essays? People will find a way to game that too.
