i hate the yankees and to agree with a post by a user named Reggie Mantle it would take the post making 100% complete sense which it does

future posts that will possibly be as bad as this one

Procrastinators beware....

Lazy People beware....

People who expect do to no work and pass beware.....

Reggie Mantle made a good point!! We already have hurdle to jump being an IMG..thus, post like this does not help!!!

I read that only people that were accepted for this May semester cheat, due to the unique environemental circumstances faced by this cohort. I heard it had something to do with a combination of global warming, a high pressure front from the North, and the NY Giants winning the superbowl. All other semesters don't cheat, because the previously stated conditions weren't met.

Sarcasm over, I agree completely. I don't give apooh pooh if a couple people cheat in my class, cuz it won't affect me at all. I'll only care if like 10+% are cheating, because then it might cause the administration to make the exams tougher,thus causing potential USMLE passers to possibly fail. Cheating will always occur, but it is an exrtemely short term solution. Unless 2/3rds of the kids are cheating, causing good students to not write the USMLE due to a higher bell curve, then who gives a crap? (this could never actually occur-- realistically)

''Obviously you shouldn't cheat, the reasons should be very clear. USMLE / Morals / etc etc etc and NOT because of the punishments that could come from it.''<--DUH...I was saying that regardless of whether the people cheated or not the fact of punishing an entire class for it is bogus. From what I stated, obviously no one WAS caught and I really don't care whether people were cheating or not, but the way the school dealt with the situation was a bit unsettling. Im not "labeling a semester as cheaters". This little incident was just a very popular topic with the students there and it was brought up to me on quite a few occasions by the current students without me mentioning it at all (The only reason I even knew about it was beacause the students obviously thought it was important for me to know about it)! I don't mean to degrade SUSOM at all but I do wish to make any discrepencies common knowledge so that other prospective students who didn't have the opportunity to visit the campus and ask questions/observe first hand can go into this with as much knowledge as possible before they make their final decision on a school. My sole purpose of visiting Saba was to see what it was like first hand, and I did like a lot of things about the campus---but as with every school there are goods and bads and I just want to make both sides know. I didn't mean to cause anyone anger from my post, so I apologize if I did...I can see that MANY people are sensitive about this subject and very defensive, so again sorry.....Just wanted to discuss the issue and put it out there....but hey...being the "worst post on value MD" is kind of a big deal haha..now I just gotta put it up on SDN I guess...LOL

No need to explain. Your intent was pretty clear. Some people just need to chill while others enjoy manufacturing drama. Thanks for the scoop on campus life! Next time post pics

Rude, immature and unnecessary.

BNC invasion is approaching

dont worry margie,pre-med and med students are notorisuly anal . You'd hope that this rate would go down for med students, but the anal ones tend to suceed the most!

One guy even flipped out on me when I asked how important was the attendance rule .

I remember learning in psychology that hypochondriasis is nicknamed 'med student syndrome' for pretty straightforward reasons. I think there should be a med student personality disorder: A combination of narcasistic personality disorder and a type A personality .

O psychology, I will miss you!

'don't worry, be happy'

Haha yeah I notice a lot of freaking out on this forum...now I see the explanation

Yea, as sad as it sounds, the personality of the typical pre-med students that I met were what made me doubt a career in medicine for the longest time. I figured there's no way in hell i'd be able to get along with all these people, and even worse, I feared that I would become like them .

It took me a smack in the head to realize that the only way to do something about it would be to apply myself. I mean, chances are that my med school spot would be replaced by someone, who statisticly would be more likely to be anal and narcasistic than me . By applying, I prevented this imaginery place to exchange gas from becoming a doctor!
