<p>" lolol Cc’er you’re such a tool don’t go into medicine. being a good student on paper isn’t all you need. "</p>
<p>Even if he does go into medicine, I bet you he probably will be revoked of his license because of improper care of patients and the motivation of personal gain over patient care.</p>
<p>i bet you are one of those people wanting attention and are in fact only a 40 year old man living with his mom who has never been laid.

<p>The idiocy of your statements is galling, mainly bc it has no basis in fact (esp. your knowledge of U.S. history with the draft statement), not to mention you seem to be misinformed to think that scores on standardized exams are somehow the magic key to admission to a Bachelor/MD program in the United States.</p>
<p>Just to be clear, however, as you seem to be confused – LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT = means you hold an identification card (a.k.a. green card) attesting to your permanent resident status as an alien in the United States of America (a.k.a. you’re not a U.S. citizen but you’re not here illegally). Alien is defined as a foreigner residing in a country. So, yes, you ARE classified as an international student. It doesn’t matter if you came to the U.S. when you were 4.</p>
<p>First of all, no matter if you go to public or private school, even if your school doesn’t rank - they can and will have to give which percentile of the class you are in. Just going to an elite private school won’t cut it. Bachelor/MD programs don’t have the time or the manpower to research every single high school and how good and bad they are. They do expect you to have high class rank though regardless of whether it is public or private school as well as a rigorous curriculum - many Pre-AP or AP (Pre-IB or IB - if your school does this program), and Honors courses.</p>
<p>I would say you are behind with respect to the SAT as you have yet to actually take the exam for real. Most people in the summer after their junior year have taken the SAT at least once or twice. Sorry but projections off of practice exams is not very valid. When you have an actual score let us know.</p>
<p>What are your health ECs, as the only thing I got from your post was 200 hours volunteering at 1 hospital and 500 hours in research (was it in 1 project? Did you get any publications or posters out of it?) after 3 years of high school?</p>
<p>It seems like (based on what you’ve posted so far) that you have everything all figured out and you’re more interested in bragging than getting information about how to improve your application to apply to Bachelor/MD programs, which is probably why you are getting the response you are from other CCers.</p>
<p>yeah, listen, CC’er apply and tell us how it goes. I don’t think you need us to tell you anything so p*ss off. if you do get in, great job. If not, thats good too.</p>
<p>Wow. Your arrogance and greed are appalling. I hope there aren’t many students that graduate from med school with an attitude like yours. Good luck with applications–and more importantly, maturity and becoming respectful.</p>
<p>With my experience around physicians for the past 10 years, if you do not truly want to become a doctor and do not exhibit a real passion for medicine, you will not be happy as a doctor. You will most likely (80-90% chance) be a miserable person if you choose to be a doctor for money, reputation, etc. You need to love medicine and love helping people; otherwise, you will be miserable. The 10-20% chance you will not be miserable is if you somehow come to love medicine and helping others; either way, you must exhibit these two qualities. Also, communication and “people” skills are extremely important. Arrogance will not bode well for you.</p>
<p>I suggest you explore different career paths. From your posts, it appears you are not actually passionate about becoming a doctor. Sure, you may put on a facade at the HPME interview and may get accepted into the program, but do you really want to be under such a facade for the rest of your life?</p>
