Is that the UW version of our OLive forum? Read a few posts of that thread and you'll roll your eyes and click "close".

That was good humor to read...

Mesmerizing!

I especially appreciated the sincere pride shown for the high road taken by the Fuskie AD... Kudos to the most noble fan base in the PAC!



What were they thinking?



Can't wait for the next annual delivery...

That UW blog is pretty much the worst blog on the planet. They really have something against logic. I was banned from that site simply for stating that their 0-12 season was more recent then their "shared" national championship. Apparently they didn't see it that way.

After reading a couple post over there, they have to be more delusional than even the craziest Beaver fans. To think that they'll be in the conference title race is to overlook recent history and the current team's lack of depth/talent.

Washington fans are idiots and that guy running the blog is even more clueless. I'm going to assume that most of the fans on that blog didn't go to UW. My dad is a doctor and where you go for undergrad has no bearing on admittance to the university's medical school, particularly for a public school. UW does have a great medical school, but going there for undergrad does not give you leg up for admittance to their med school.

Well sort of, according to my roommate (who applied to med school and did his pre-med at PSU) UW's med school rarely accepts out of state applicants. So it certainly helps being a UW undergrad.

Med schools have a quota that they have to reach. The have a certain amount of spots for foreigners, out-of-staters, and minorities. The rest are for in-staters. If they can get people who can fill multiple spots, the more they can typically take. I have a friend I went to school at UO with and he's having a hard time getting into OHSU's dentistry school because of his in-state status and him being Asian. He's gotten in at other schools but can't afford to go to an out-of-state med school.

Tell him it's med school, he's boned either way

He can afford in-state since he's from the Portland area and can live with his parents, which cuts on the cost of housing. Going out-of-state was going to be expensive since he got into schools in LA and San Francisco, which have some of the highest rental prices in the country. Another main reason he didn't want to leave Oregon is that he didn't really like the areas the schools were in. He's still in school getting his master's in biology so he can stand out a bit from others fresh from undergrad.

This is true, but that doesn't necessarily just favor UW students. A Washington resident could go to college at Wisconsin and then apply to UW for med school and they would still be considered a Washington resident as long as they have retained their Washington residency. Med school is all about GPA and MCATs (extracurricular activities play a small role, when all other factors are equal). UW undergrads have a minimal advantage over other Washington residents if any.

A 3.8 GPA and 35 MCAT from Washington State > 3.7 GPA and 33 MCAT from UW

Most student athletes do not obtain state residency of the school that they are attending, thus it would be nearly impossible for Hundley to get into UW. Also with Med school, you go wherever you get in because admissions are so competitive. UW fans are probably the only fan base that would attempt to sell a recruit on their medical school.

Another thing that a lot of people don't realize: you don't need to major in a science discipline to get into med school; you just need to have taken a certain numbers of science classes (that fulfill the pre-med requirements). One of my friends is in his second year of medical school and he was an Economics major as an undergrad.
