Taking Advice From The Wrong People
If your car broke down would you call a mechanic or someone that is interested in being a mechanic that has no actual experience? If you were to hire a personal trainer, would you hire someone that was obese? Obviously not. But, even crazier, most of you trust advice about getting into dental school from someone that has not successfully applied and earned a seat in dental school. How backwards is that? All of you here obviously are passionate about getting in or you would spend your time... Taking Advice From The Wrong People (Source: Student Doctor Network)
