this are some pretty wise comments. Who is this Professor and where does he teaches??

[Oi2know]

He used to teach at the The City College Of New York. I knew him as Dr. Lou

I apologize about the volume...you just have to increase the volume of your speakers

1)Be born into a wealthy family which pushes their kids to be overachievers

2)Adjust your self-worth based on GPA

3)Put social standing at primary importance after relationships, spirituality, compassion..etc.

3)Appear altruistic by volunteering in order to convince people that social standing is not important.

4)Learn to regurgitate information on exams

5)Pay $1000's for MCAT/interview prep, and application services.

6)Get MD and pretend you are the star of your favorite hospital drama.

I am 13 years old and livein michigan, When I got older I want to be a heart surgeon.

I want to go to University of michigan or harvard for medical School.

This video really helps so I can learn whats ahead.

I have been inspired to be a heart surgeon becuase I myself have had 3 open heart surgeries.

I have double outslet left ventricle and moderate aortic stenosis and a ventricular septal defect.

WISH ME LUCK! :)

I do believe that there are people who make good grades who shouldn't be doctors

Good luck! I am 18, in my second year undergraduate, and am working hard for it. Do the same and stay motivated, focused, patient, serious, self-reflective, caring, relaxed, and enthusiastic and wish to God you're doing the right thing. Just work hard... Try your own ways and see how you acheive. And make sure you avoid distractions like TV, Youtube (yes I know...), and Facebook ... They're a studier's pitfall no matter whom.

He's absolutely right. The system is set up to maximize college ratings and profits. It's a numbers and statistic, and they treat medical school applicants like swine - the same way the do for every other industry in the United States.

And we wonder why we're falling behind in education, research, industry, production, finance, and economic power.

The person with the cure for AIDS, is probably working at Burger King because medical schools turned him/her down due to test scores.
