[Serious] Let's talk about how kids are literally BRED for Med School.
Misc, we all know how doctors make great pay and lead very fruitful lifestyles once their residency/specialization is over.
But let's talk BEFORE that.
Med Schools are now more difficult to get into than ever before.
- You need job shadowing (60-100hrs)
- you need volunteering at a medical facility (150+ hours)
- very recommended you do research (basically a necessity) or work related to the med field (Scribe etc)
- you need a high gpa
- you need a high MCAT (requires a lot of studying)
- you need to be a leader in at least one extracurricular.
Luckily, as an indian brah, i have been blessed to have parents who have guided me and have looked out for me on a lot of these topics. I still had to work for what I have, but the process for me has been more streamlined.
Most of the medical students are JUST like me.
Do you guys understand how the odds of not making it are SO HIGH for a "self-motivated" kid wanting to be a doctor without any guidance or nudge towards the field?
This is insane. We shouldn't compromise standards for med schools because the doctors need to be extremely intelligent, but it's pretty obvious how med students (who are young) are essentially bred to be doctors.

You are wrong Mr. Curry. I was constantly pushed by my teachers/parents/family since I was in middle school to pursue medicine. I declined because it's not something that interests me one bit, I couldn't care less about being a Doctor and saving lives. To be in the medical field you truly have to love it, you will fail and be miserable if you don't.

I'm not Indian but I'm the only child of two physician parents. Yeah we're raised to do it. I was.
There was an Economist cover story about 6 months ago that touches on elements of this. Basically, well-educated parents create rich environments for their children and prioritize education, which leads to smarter, more qualified kids who have an edge over children who came from other backgrounds. It's not fair, but rich kids are often more qualified than poor kids, and today's education system is making the current class structure permanent.

But if you are not a troll, you will be fine, friend. The indian community takes care of each other pretty well, although it can be toxic, you won't be hungry. You for sure can control lifting and chit tho. Chin up.

It's almost impossible for a self realized teenager to come to college and all of a sudden decide he wants to be a doctor. He may have intrinsic passion, but the few thousand dollars for the MCAT coaching, the guidance and pressure towards maintaining a high GPA, and enrolling in extracurriculars is hardly intuitive for a uninformed teenager.
It's sad but such is the way of life.
It cannot be changed.
This is just like how athletes are now forced to specialize. You won't be a sprinter without the ACTN3 gene. You will not be a high jumper unless you're 6'3+.

Yes you may have been pushed when you were young, but without some one else giving you the idea to go to med school on your own and preparing for it properly, the odds are so stacked against you.

It requires high IQ. Ive seen parents push their kids so hard or even the kids really want it but end up failing orgo or doing chit on the MCAT.
Once you actually become an M.D it's great.. But the path is unbelievably hard. And then you have to be good, you're not even done yet. One bad move and your reptuation is tarnished.

Honestly, kids should try to keep an open mind as to what they want to go into. I got a good education in the arts and economics in addition to the sciences during college. A lot of med students never get this and are basically drones as med students/residents/ and as physicians. I mean for example, very few residents I've met truly understand statistics, finance, or economics. They just trust putting all their money under the control of a financial advisor. Now I'm not saying that you have to know money... but kids should at least be raised to be multidimensional people.

Srs dude. It's not breeding, it's pretty basic knowledge. I knew nearly all of this as an engineering major who never thought twice about going into medicine. I just went to high school (that was 78% free or reduced lunch), and listened to AP students bitch.

I did all my own research and got accepted on my first try during senior year (last year). Only took the mcat once.. no summer courses ever.. had a plan in 11th and 12th grade going forward.
It's a lot of work. I've tried to always be a minimalist if possible. I mean I had to balance that with my high level athletics... But OP going forward I wouldn't have high expectations of a "fruitful lifestyle".

i believe what you describe is the med field culture in the US.
what happens in spain? or china?
personally, i have a lot of respect to those who are truly passionate about their field, and are willing to take lengths such as flying to a poverished country to help the needy, for free.

I consider myself to be above avg intelligence, not a genius by anymeans.
And it wasn't until 20 did I start WANTING to shadow or work or something like that. Without these ideas planted into my head, I would be VERY behind if I still wanted to be a doctor.
Kids from smarter parents tend to be *gasp* smarter, and its for a reason. It's due to the environment.
I am not trying to make any one feel guilty or have the requirements lowered. I just want to point something out.

The fact that you had all of this planned at an age you SHOULD have it planned (but most don't) means you definitely had your head in the right place, man. Good on you brotha. If I was in the same position, I'm not sure I could say the same. I truly have been blessed.

You greatly overestimate what you need to get into medical school. Maybe at the top tier ones you need insane EC's and research pubs, but at most you just need shadowing, some volunteering serving underprivileged people, and to do well in college and on the MCAT. It's a lot of work but totally doable. You don't have to be "bred" to do it lmao. My parents never forced me to study in HS and I rape every single asian and indian in my classes who all study their asses off like 6+ hours a day. That is my motivation to fcking destroy my classes and be the top in every class because they were total douchebags in HS to me (my HS was 70% Asian and Indian and Indians especially are total kunts when it comes to helping any non-Indian with academics, sorry but it's ****ing true and you probably know it just as well as I do. Asian are similar but not as racist and douchey to non-Asians).

Who ever performs the best in the nationwide/state wide entrance exam gets a spot in the med schools.
Atleast that is how it works in India.

And I do agree with you. Lots of indians and asians are cocky as phuck. Good on ya mater, srsly, for destroying these kunts.
I guess I just wanted to point out that I have been blessed with the right environment and so are many med students. I am not a medstudent btw

I sometimes wish I had the fortitude to do this, even be specialized. I hated school, never tried, but was jealous those who slept in class and got A's (in truth most of these kids actually put in the work).
My younger sister has all the smarts, 4.0 gifted and honors classes.
Bet it feels good once you never have to stay up and study on adderrall again. I really want to be apart of elite society, having no power sucks. I should have just sucked it up in school fuk my life.
Hope all you MD brahs make it, sincerely.

But man, there are TONS of people that go back to school to get into medical school. You can honestly do it with your current attitude if you wanted to.
There is no need to lay down and rot, srs.
If med school doesn't have the same appeal, find your passion and work hard in it dude. You will gain some power that way and you will be fulfilled.

I'm not as "high yield" for the same amount of studying as some of my white peers are, but I do study hard to make the decently good grades I have made. I definitely do advocate studying long-ish hours, but one thing I have learnt recently is that it isnecessary to learn how to study smart. It wasn't until I studied with my white friends at uni did I figure this out. It's like playing a game, but what has worked so far for me (and it's actually beginning to fail) is to absolutely study everything.
Repped for insight btw

All of the schools have basically the same curriculum at this point.Obviously, when I meant bred I meant being brought up in favorable environment haha. My bad on the wording.
And I do agree with you. Lots of indians and asians are cocky as phuck. Good on ya mater, srsly, for destroying these kunts.
I guess I just wanted to point out that I have been blessed with the right environment and so are many med students. I am not a medstudent btw

I'm not as "high yield" for the same amount of studying as some of my white peers are, but I do study hard to make the decently good grades I have made. I definitely do advocate studying long-ish hours, but one thing I have learnt recently is that it isnecessary to learn how to study smart. It wasn't until I studied with my white friends at uni did I figure this out. It's like playing a game, but what has worked so far for me (and it's actually beginning to fail) is to absolutely study everything.
Repped for insight btw
