economically, that doesn't make any sense. if USC graduates were not able to command higher salaries after graduation, why would they pay so much - dug Jul 11, 21:21 21
- Because, USC might have been the only school they were accepted to. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 21:23 20
  - LOL. Hilarious. (nm) - musubi Jul 11, 22:36
  - they could have applied to only state schools. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 21:23 18
    - You obviously don't understand how competitive it is. End of discussion. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 21:26 17
      - oh for god's sake, I taught premeds for five years. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 21:27 16
        
        And I am a pre-med at the nations biggest pre-med school. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 21:28 6
        
        yeah so? - loosilu Jul 11, 21:29 5
        
        Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. Just saying it is ridiculous. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 21:31 4
        
        if it's too ridiculous, don't do it. - loosilu Jul 11, 21:32 3
        
        hehe.. pre-meds are whiny. "if you're willing to do it, suck it up" applies to everything in life. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 21:33 2
        
        for everything worth having in life there are sacrafices to be made - - 'lia Jul 11, 21:37

        He's having a bit of a moment here. - Subversive Jul 11, 21:28 8
        
        Define crappy? I wouldn't call my undergrad of future med school crappy. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 21:29 7
        
        Dude, you're getting awfully defensive. Thought maybe you go to a school without much 'prestige' and thus the denial. - Subversive Jul 11, 21:36 6
        
        he's going to a state school. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 21:36 5
        
        Ranked 3rd in the nation for publicly funded. Considered to be one of the new ivys. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 22:02 3
        
        I don't say this often, but loosi is right. (nm) - musubi Jul 11, 22:38
        
        This thread blows me away. nm - Jim Jul 11, 22:20 1
        
        Thank you. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 22:22
        
        Makes sense. -- nm - Subversive Jul 11, 21:38
well, I don't know dental school specifically. Vet school is similar to med school, except much harder to get in. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 21:20
