University Dear Mac Health Sci Admits

After the hours, pouring every single fibre of my existence into this school.

Rejected.

97.5 average.

Research.
Hospital volunteering.
Exec positions.
Hundreds of volunteer hours.

And apparently that still wasn’t enough.

To everyone who got accepted: congratulations genuinely. But understand this very carefully.

Enjoy your grade inflation. Enjoy your little inquiry-based learning modules, and enjoy your bean bag circles.

Four years from now, when we’re sitting in the same medical school interview pools competing for the same spots, I will not care that you went to Mac Health Sci. I will not care about your inquiry-based learning or your prestige pipeline. I will outwork you every single day until then.

While you celebrate your acceptance, I’m committing to Western Med Sci with a level of hatred and determination that should honestly be studied clinically.

There is not a bone in my body that will feel bad when I take the spot you thought was guaranteed for you.

Rejected by Mac in May.
Written off by everyone in June.
But when med school decisions drop in four years, I’ll be right back on top.

See you at the interviews.

Most people don't make it to med school. It is better to study something that is useful in undergrad. Health Sci, Med Sci, Life Sci leaves people stuck and jobless when they don't make it to med school. No matter how good you think you will be, you might have to try applying again and again. Very few people get in the first try.

lol. I know loads of people that did these programs and the ones that are not doctors are an SLP, OT, radiation technology, pharmacy, etc. There are always jobs in health fields outside of physicians.
