Is that another way of saying that you have to study 6 hours a day for 4 years straight in order to pull off enough As to balance the Bs in order to go to medical school at Emory?

Seriously, if that’s the case, I wouldn’t be surprised if Emory students just transfer out to a state school in order to put more As on their transcript so that they can actually go to medical school while MAYBE even working less harder than when they studied at Emory.

Who has the sanity to do 4-6 hours of studying per day for 4 years straight? That’ll kill their extracurricular involvement and social life and screw them over in general and maybe even go mentally insane.

Now, of course, there are people who succeed in studying and having fun even under those situations, but not everyone can go past 12 AM studying without falling asleep. I’m one of them; no matter what I do to stay up after 11 PM it just doesn’t work. My brain dies after that.
