<p>I don't get the hatred of living with premeds. Anyone thought of the same situation with engineers? What do you think flopsy? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>engineers are wow addicts lol</p>

<p>no in all seriousness, the way premeds try to screw you over in classes is ridiculous.</p>

<p>Can you give an example? HAHA. I want to see what I'm missing out on.</p>

<p>like when i wasn't sure exactly where a test was, i asked someone and they told me somewhere like 15 minutes away from where it was actually held. or offering to turn in something for you, and dumping it.</p>

<p>^ I'll be sure to watch out the premeds then.</p>

<p>Engineers have "esprit de corps" because the competitiveness wears off after the weeder courses. Pre-meds don't have that luxury, and also don't have as many group projects as engineers do. In short, engineers are better for getting along with. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>That's pretty extreme moldau.</p>

<p>i haven't experienced sabotage, but im pretty sure the competition can get that bad....which is sad....</p>

<p>That's kind of scary, lol.</p>

<p>seriously I am not taking any chances; in lab, some dude was standing next to my fish cups near my apparatus so I grabbed them and placed them away from him.
Oh and I have heard stories of giving false information during lecture like whats going to be on the midterm, and I have also heard of jerks grabbing someones test they just turned in and ripping it up.
Its pretty messed up.
And my chem E friends are way cooler than any pre-med I have dealt with. I am seriously not going to talk with any classmates, even if they "seem" cool.</p>

<p>Avoid pre-meds at all costs especially the Biochem and Physio Sci majors who have too much of an attitude. Many of them are retarded, badly misinformed & lacking common sense. They don't get any better either, if they happen to get into med-school.</p>

<p>I wouldn't doubt it. Last year one of my Immunology 185A TAs, who went to Cal an undegrad, would tell stories of how some pre-meds would copy HW answers from the professor's turn-in box. After they got done copying, the pre-meds would take the HW from which they copied from & throw it in the trash can. One resident I know would recount stories of how his Biochem lab partner in med-school would give him wrong infomation about the data results in their experiment.</p>

<p>Damn, are you serious? My experience with the pre-meds must have been better , because that's just HARSH. </p>

<p>I've heard competition at Berkeley extends to TA positions; my friend was applying to one, and her partner sabotaged the Powerpoint section she was supposed to present, leaving her with nothing to refer from during the presentation.</p>

<p>ok thats just way too crazy.....
to premeds: there's life outside of med school!</p>

<p>messed up. do even female premeds do this?</p>

<p>They're probably nastier. Have you never seen girls compete omfg</p>

<p>i hope they're all stories...i have enough to worry about</p>

<p>even nastier? awesome, exactly my type</p>

<p>


Do I even need to ask what kind of lab this was? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>:rolleyes: How is that even remotely possible (for those of you who aren't here yet, exams are turned in to the front of class either in front of TAs or professors or both, and there are no classes that are stupid enough to leave a stack of turned in exam alone).</p>

<p>Its impossible to avoid premeds as a south campus major. I would venture to say that the number thrown out earlier was a gross underestimation and doesn't even capture those that considered medical school at any point but for some reason decided not to follow it through. These "stories" are not representative of reality by any stretch of the imagination for my own experiences (of course those posters may have been tainted by a few sour instances or stories passed on from a friend of a friend of a friend etc. etc. whom it happened to) and it would be really sad if you went about your college career paranoid about whether the person you talked to was premed and judged whether you would befriend someone by asking if they were a premed and running away if they answered yes. If anything, it would make you crazier than what you were attempting to make the pre-meds out to be.</p>
