I can't stand the soulless self-deluded drones in my class anymore. I'm 1 year in. Even 1 year with these people has made me hate the "med" type more than any other breed on earth. I've met maybe 3 chill people that actually seem like decent people. They're all so stuck up and think they're the smartest people on earth, and they act like they're competing for their life in the academic Olympics even though the classes are literally all pass/fail and not even curved. They study 24/7 and it's actually kinda hilarious how pathetic these people are.

It's not even that hard to get into med school, it just takes a ton of time because scores and grades are worth so little compared to showing how much you love the disadvantaged through countless volunteer hours, and that you bring a diverse perspective as being "underrepresented in medicine".

I had to apply twice to get in even with a 4.0 GPA and 98th percentile MCAT score, didn't even get an interview the first time because I am "overrepresented in medicine" and didn't show a "commitment to serving others" through my volunteering and everything. 60th percentile scores with more volunteering or being "underrepresented in medicine" now get accepted over 95th percentile scores.

I could go on for hours about how screwed up so much stuff is with the whole system but the last post I tried submitting was too long and I lost it all.

Either way, I want something that actually makes use of my 143 IQ which is why I chose medicine (even though it's basically just rote memorization and little critical thinking is even needed to meet the cut, so even medicine feels like a waste) and I love to work very hard and grind at my craft, but I don't know what the hell else there is to do with my life.

Please help frens. And my BSc in Biochemistry is literally useless on its own, obviously.
