Ha ha ha nice one bkpride. Not sure it would be a wise choice for a student to go in front of the promotions committee and tell them they have drug problems though, that probably wouldn't go over too well. LOL!

the add thing has been done to death.Everyone is giong to go in,say they JUST realized that they gots add and needs ritalin.THEN they will all get sent packin,like all of them before them.You may as well put all the gumbo in the bowl and go out with a bang.Instedd of sayin you need drugs-say you ON drugs.You laugh,but it works.Some of them peeps that crashes a semester but stays,and we all scratch our haid-thats what they say.Come to wykoff-there is always one that brags about it (as the anesthesia/blow off surgery home-gurl).
Remember the exquses everyone gives the committe-

1-I gots add.Never knew it till I started messin up here on Dominica.
2-my whatever died.I know I never told nobody or went to nobody when it happened-because I thought I could handle it.
3.I be havin a hard time adjustin to the island.
4.my study habits need to be re-ebaluated.I'll re-ebaluate them next time.
5. I gots add.I need drugs.

EVERY semester EVERY year gives these same things.Be original.
If you facin the committe-what have you gots to loose?Sayin you have add without havin any proof that you got to the island wiff it is certain to gets you bounced.Sayin you have a disability-and yes drug addiction IS covered in the disabilities act-may give you a fightin chance.Good luck tho.Glad that garbage is behind.

Read back what I said. COMPARATIVELY, the USMLEs were easier than some of my upper level ChemE courses. I didn't flat out say they were a joke in and of themselves.

Contrary to popular belief, MDs are not the absolute brightest people in the world...there are plenty of professions out there that require lots of brain power. Chemical engineers, NASA scientists, some lawyers, etc...just to name a few.

Believe it or not, other professional people have exams that are just as hard as the USMLEs, if not harder.

"Instead of saying you need drugs - say you ON drugs." <--- THAT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE READ ALL WEEK!!!

All I can say is if a student goes in front of the promotions committee and tell them they're a drug addict - it is a SURE bet they're gonna get their behind tossed out.

Better yet - you should just show up to the promotions committee completely stoned, waving your one-way airline ticket to Antigua in their faces. Now that'd be a hoot.

I think you can login and check your grades now?

I have also seen some girls work the "pregnancy" angle. Claimed pregnancy....traveled to the US to abort...claimed complications. All you need is a pregnant friend's pee and a $2 pregnancy test.

Sorry to but in like this, but I'm leaving for May in less than 5 days...reading this post has me sweating bricks...in the thread after this one entitled CURVE, some kid cited a professor saying that 70% of biochem students are failing...

Don't be. Keep your head down and study hard. Many many people have successfully gone through Ross and become an MD.
