We at the Clog would like to take this time to congratulate the Stanford College pre-med Cardinals for finding such a fantastic loophole in all the back-breaking requirements for medical school.
Apparently, Stanford kids are filling the seats of a certain physics summer class over at Santa Clara University. Hey, these folks have this system figured out–word on the street is that this class offers a full year of physics in three breezy months, an “approachable” high school teacher and a bright and shiny “A” at the end of the course.
“Why didn’t I think of that?” you ask yourself. True, different med schools have different requirements, and you may get away with such a slick cop out. Here’s the clincher, and our personal favorite part of Mercury News’ coverage on this story: “(an) adviser told (a Stanford student) it would look awkward if she didn’t at least select a school that had standards comparable to the University of California system.”
Left-handed compliment? Whatev, we’ll take it. (And Gordon, thanks for the tip.)
