“Saphire aren’t you a high schooler? Who do you think knows more about this, you or me (MD/PhD student who interviews applicants, got to attend adcom meetings and had a friend who was a voting member of my school’s adcom)?”
Is that polite? How do you know my dad is not the dean of admissions at some med school (he is not)? Or that I have 10 older brothers and sisters all of whom are med students and some of them were political science majors and I watched them go through the process. Or that maybe I just read a lot, want to go to med school myself and have spent plenty of time reading posts about this stuff. This is my opinion, I might be right, I might be wrong but I respectfully disagreed with you. I expect the same courtesy
