<p>ksarmand - i already cited my sources (close relatives who are on the adcoms of 2 top med schools). maybe that’s true for med schools ranked way lower, but i assure you that i get my info straight from the people selecting the incoming students. </p>
<p>in any case, i was just advising the OP. what he/she chooses to do is actually their choice and if they don’t get into med school, it’s obviously none of my business and my life will go on.</p>
