My entire Med Sci cohort was @ UMAT
So if it was me, it was. Or it could have been about 100 other people lol.
Fail why so many med science kids want to do Med?
Ain't nobody wanna do research

This isn't going to be statistically accurate at all, but what I've found is:
About half of them are from parental pressure (You must do med)
About half of them are going for the 3 figure salary (e.g. if not med, then law, then engineering or commerce/actuarial)
About half of them are doing it for privilege or anything medically related to have some sort of recognition (If not med then dent, if not dent, then optom)
About 2% genuinely have an interest in actual Medicine and wanting to be a doctor

And half of the two percent don't get in.

Sometimes because they aren't competent enough and sometimes because the other kids get the spots, sigh

It's not always competition that help someone. But who am I to say anything.[emoji1]

Yep, pretty much. You won't believe how many are like "Uh if I don't get in, I'll just do commerce or law or something" or "Nah, I have to do this because my parents won't let me do anything else". So they do the Med Science coursework like robots without actually understanding anything and totally hating it.
I actually enjoy the subjects that I learn about in Med Science, esp Anatomy & Physiology. But then it infuriates me when I see people going "Uh Anatomy is such a pain in the ass, there's so much to do, it's so boring" and go on to say that they want to do Medicine.
