Post-Grad: Med School

Average first-year in med school

Many undergrads chose Pre-Med as their major out of their own unrealistic ambition or at the urging of their parents. They were laughed at by their peers, and by sophomore year they had flunked their way into something easier like Sociology or English.

However, the people before us now are the precious few who clawed their way into medical school, and they'll let you know they damn well earned it - they had to retake Organic Chemistry twice and blow their professor for a rec letter to get here.

Course Offerings

Does the med school building have more than one story? If so, make sure you look up when passing by, because the entire class is on permanent suicide watch.

Med school is known for its brutal course load that is the intellectual equivalent of feudal serfdom. So why does anyone do it? Don't fool yourself with the Hippocratic Oath and the desire to help others - it's obviously because they aspire to become filthy, filthy rich, drive a BMW 7-series, own a yacht, and then finally lose everything after a series of gross malpractice lawsuits.

Social Life

Socializing in med school is limited to beers in between anatomy chapters and consensual pity groping between two desperate people.

Be careful who you make "friends" with, because the average med student will kill your entire family and your dog to move up one step on the class ladder. However, the brutal competition is ultimately all in vain, because one student is actually a supernatural cyborg built for studying and does not need sleep, food, or pleasurable release. And his last name is probably Patel.
