Fair play to your friend , the reality is that a large proportion of aspiring medical students have little intrest in helping people and are doing it solely to get some letters after their name and a six figure salary.

Generalise much?

I'll take it that your a med student then!Seriously though do you find that many people in your class are doing it solely for this reason.( im doing the leaving and i know one guy thinking of putting med down just becuse of the career prospects and prestige)

I honestly havent met one person in my class like that.
I think career prospects are just as valid a reason to pursue a career in medicine as any other. Its the reason I chose medicine over theoretical physics.
Im not sure what your mate is waffling on about there with prestige. Its just a job like any other.

whadabouchasir · 13-01-2009 8:15pm

Ah come on if prestige wasn't a factor then the points wouldn't be as high and there wouldn't be as many applicants. Also that lad (not really my mate he doesn't have any of them) isn't exactlty the most empathetic person and said that he wanted a summer job with "not much interaction with people"

Yes, and I'm sure you're well in touch with your average med student............

Would you like him to be your Doctor?

Dubs · 13-01-2009 10:26pm

So long as he could treat me medically as any doctor would i wouldn't really care to be honest.

Paddy001 · 13-01-2009 10:31pm

605

370 I mean!

Gloom · 13-01-2009 10:41pm

Here I was hoping that the TC had some magical device where I could type any points I wanted.

I would love anything 500+
But, at this rate, I'll be lucky to get 420+

Need to put in a lot of work!

Dante · 14-01-2009 12:06am

i need 300 for Enterprise Computing in DCU but i'd like to get 400+ for pride! I need to start working more though.

bricky10 · 14-01-2009 10:11pm

355 for Venture management maynooth

-ME- · 14-01-2009 11:06pm

I would be absolutely over the moon to get 500 or more.

captainspeckle · 28-01-2009 3:52am

seems to me that 500 points is the "perfect size ten" for a huge proportion of people..... yikes!:D

SligoBrewer · 28-01-2009 1:33pm

Meh. 530 ish to be sure of first choice or incase i want to switch courses later on.

stainluss · 28-01-2009 8:20pm

440

Mycroft H · 28-01-2009 9:33pm

440 journilism dit

tootyflutty · 28-01-2009 9:59pm

Course cut off this year was 380, mid was 420, I aim for 430-450.
I'd be pretty happy with anything over 400 ish?
Very managable with a bit of work :P

laura! · 28-01-2009 11:42pm

450

don't need that much but i'd hate to work so hard for lesser points and to come out with so much lower points than my friends.... a few of them are aiming for 600
