<p>yeah i was just reading over my post and it doesn't make much sense. What i meant to say was that most doctors don't come from straight med prgs. And abt the 1900, i know where ur coming from. If you have highly competitive friends who score 200-300 pts higher than you, then of course you'll feel bad. But that doesn't you failed anything, 1900 way above avg and in a year or two, no one's gonna care how u did on the sat's.</p>
<p>No, I don't think you can make it - and it doesn't have anything to do with scores or anything quantitative like that. It has to do with perserverence. Your ready to quit at the first bump in school - no way in hell an attitude like that will make it in med school. If you studied as much as possible and fought for that score - then you stand a chance. There are tons of kids who sit and take the SAT and can make a 1400+ without studying/attempting to succeed - people don't just fall into being a physician. Once you get out of the high school "I have to go to an ivy" consumerism bs mind your in, you'll realize that working for what you want will get you a lot further in life than a simple test, and one of questionable merit at that.</p>
<p>I didn't study for the SAT the first time I took it and got a 2100. I pretty much own you.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that the above post was a joke (if it wasn't then we'll discuss this somewhere where I can't get banned), but seriously, this is what depresses me the most. The fact that I've tried extremely hard to do well on the SAT, and failed it, while people who don't do anything for it do amazing on it :(</p>
<p>But oh well. Maybe I'm just not destined to go to an Ivy League school. I guess the best thing I can do right now is try to study some more, and then start prepping for MCATs so that I can go to HYPS for med school.</p>
<p>Maybe Princeton will get that med school erected by the time you apply to med school.</p>
<p>i'm sure its been said b4, but you can't fail the SAT!! lol</p>
<p>You could get less than a 600. That would probably require getting every single question wrong. IMO, that is failing.</p>
<p>And maybe prestige of medical school will start mattering. And maybe Y and S will pass other well-established med schools in the process (W, P, D, U, and (hello) H come to mind). And maybe a whole lot of other things will happen for that acronym to make sense in the least.</p>
<p>prestige of med school really doesnt matter?
thats interesting
im guessing med school admissions thinking is entirely different from choosing an undergraduate college?</p>
<p>were u just <em>born</em> that helpful??
=) thanks</p>
<p>you idiot, failure. 1900 is horrible.</p>
<p>stop being too freakin discouraged. u got a 1900 the first time. i got a 1610 the first time, now i have a 1850. ill take it again, hpefully a 2000 this time
my friend got a 1770 the first time and now has a 2060</p>
<p>what im tryin to say is take it again.
and if u fail to get a higher than a 1900, who gives a *<strong><em>.
1900 is a good score.
i would be satisfied with it
be happy with what u have dammit
people spend a *</em></strong> load of money to get ur score.</p>
<p>That pep talk is about 9 months too late.</p>
<p>I think there is a relation between your posting on CC, and your performance. In a few month you posted on CC hundreds of post/threads on far-fetched subjects that even college students don't worry about (will I become a neurogeon, can I get a PhD in engineering and go to MBA types of thread etc...)<br>
Stop worrying about those things, and spend time studying. If you take care of the pennies, the dollars will take care of themselves. If you have reached the plateau score on the SAT, start learning other stuff. Are there biology stuff you want to explore in more details? Are there physics topics that intrigues you? Those are the things you ought to worry about at your young age. Instead of posting things that are tangible to your age/situation on CC, start taking a college textbook and study. Start reading and cultivate yourself as a person. Medical school wants to admit individuals, not numbers. Besides, growing as an individual will ultimately benefit you in the long run, whether academically or socially.</p>
<p>Just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>Hmm...have you ever considered being a chef?</p>
<p>great another amazingly smart person who needs reassurance.</p>
<p>dude this thread is a year old, why would you do that.</p>
<p>oooh thats funny. I just saw that a year ago, I thought the mcat tested content-based knowledge. Ha.</p>
<p>Haha. Med schools could care less about your SAT. And 1900 is not a low score at all, god, people.</p>
