i'm really impressed DH and yet you still have time to hang with us here on the Tank. That's really admirable of you in my opinion.

Well, generally no.
The thing is I'm in the Bachelor of Health Sciences program in the Faculty of Medicine. Out of high school it takes 120 students from across Canada and the World (my year includes students for Beijing, Kuwait, Hong Kong, India, Germany, Croatia, the US, and 8 provinces) with an entry average of 92%. By third year (now) we're down to 64ish. Almost all students in the program do research every summer, and most work in research labs during the year. Some for classes, some for work, some for other reasons. And the standards are much higher. On main campus an A is generally 85%+, over here at the hospital, its 90%+ and these are among the hardest courses on campus. Also, of note, the Alberta academic curriculum is among the 4 most difficult in the world. Gotcha. That would explain it then. Good job getting in.

*shrug* I enjoy hanging out with you guys, its one of the few things in my life that isn't either school work, volunteering, or other med-school preparation. I'm proud to say I got in with a 97% average. The hard thing is staying in, and getting into med school.

He was referring to my status as a broke loser, I believe.

Whoops, quoted the wrong part of that statement.
Fixed. But the broke college student also understands very well. |

I'm starting over at Southwestern Illinois College in the fall while I'm working for my grandfather; basically I'm going from completely broke to slightly less broke, as I'll have a JOB at the very least.

And at least you know your boss will be understanding if you need to work strange hours around classes. I know most of the ones around here are distinctly not (part of the reason so many of us rely on research grants to pay our bills) |

It helps that, what with my family being a big name in the area, we know just about EVERYONE, business owners included. Doesn't stop me from bustin' my ass though.
