Wow... took me so long to read this thread... let's make this thread the longest ever
then!
So... i'm a first year rookie trying to survive in this hell built by people who are thirst
for knowledge. And... of course my initial goal here was also medical school. But after
seeing the massive number of people trying to get into that "holy place", i was greatly
discouraged. But i'm still thinkin' about med school tho. I mean i think seeing a patient
recovering under your care is a really rewarding thing. But i'm not THAT passionate
about medicine, which is why i should also be thinkin' about other programs like
pharmacology or physiology maybe?
Now i'm really confused about what i should do with my life... kinda sad eh? I don't
have much volunteer experience, but an average around 90 in MOST courses (just
found out i'll probably end up with below 80 in Bio 121). What program do you experienced
UBC veterans suggest for me? I mean... what are ya'll doing, and do you like what you
are doing? What's it like to do graduate studies, and does it bring income?
Have I mentioned how much I dislike pre-med grade-whores? This same guy was whining about getting a mark in the high seventies in Bio 121 (the same class I pulled a 60% in first term, with a class average of 70%). Seriously, dude, you're the reason Chem 233 has 55% class averages. Go into pharmacology so you can make the big bucks, 'cause if I get into Microbi and find you, I'll hit you myself.
And I am totally making a t-shirt that says 'Yes, I'm in Bio. No, I am _not_ pre-med'
