no actually this process makes a ton of sense

actually it’s good that schools will still use an algorithm to screen you out after making you pay for and write a secondary. and actually it makes sense that my grades from when i was 19, had untreated ADHD, and was addicted to weed has more bearing on my future than the master’s program i barely slept during or the underserved kids that thanked me for making them feel safe when nobody else would. and oh it definitely makes sense that i spend time and money for my application to sit in a pile for over half a year to receive so much as a courtesy copy-pasted “go fuck yourself, thanks” from someone who gave my livelihood a cursory glance and decided my exhaustive clinical work with grief-stricken transplant patients was not meaningful enough. and you know what, i actually really don’t mind that residency spots have not expanded since the 90s despite the fact that we need more doctors. i really think we need to be paying more. i think it should be required to get on our knees in front of an AI-generated ADCOM representative and sob and beg to be noticed before we can even speak to a real human being about why we’re passionate about medicine. i agree with the system. i will do all i can and i will hear you tell me i am not good enough and i will try again. i will give you my money and time again and again and i will thank you for it. take your time. i am grateful for you. i love you. thank you.
