Zanetti Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 ☑ Asking unnecessary questions which you'd find the answer to in less than 20 seconds by using Google. ☑ Sharing unnecessary details about your life which nobody gives a f**k about. ☑ Posting on your partner's status when you're probably sitting in the same room together. This is up there with the worst sort of shite on Facebook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm going to guess she knew exactly when Father's Day is but wanted to ask anyway as an excuse to share her tedious dilemma with a disinterested World. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 A shitey story about a teenager from Possilpark getting rejected from medical schools despite getting "the minimum requirements necessary" to get in and nothing more, then blaming her background as the reason she was rejected. This would be bad enough but then some stupid twat in the comments comes out with: "Doesn't mean if you get higher grades you'll be clever in the long-term everyone one should be given a chance no matter where your from." Yeah, so how on earth should universities discriminate between applicants then? Or should literally every single person who applies get a chance, in the off chance that they'll be smart "in the long term" despite getting 2 C's at higher level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I assumed this was the Faslane whistleblower but the guy's got a different second name.

Considering there are plenty of folk in medical schools from 'disadvantaged backgrounds' (widening access) then that's obviously a load of pish. Having seen applications first hand, simply having 'the minimum requirements necessary' will have you nowhere near getting accepted. The folk invited to interviews are doing loads of things like shadowing GPs, loads of volunteering, have pretty much straight As etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who didn't deserve to get in but tried to make it out to be discrimination, c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 1. "If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best" by women, while posting endless picture-sentiments that detail the enormous shopping list of positive qualities any potential boyfriend must have. 2. Stuff about immigrants. 3. Response-baiting attention-seeking stuff like , "Sigh", "f**k my life" and such. 4. Blinkered and half-truth party political nonsense, usually from SNP supporters these days. 5. Half-hourly updates on what someone is doing, where they are, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMartyn86 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Sine lassie was sharing this and I thought I'd enter the reg number of the van on Eurocarparts.com to see if it actually existed. Turns out it doesn't. No doubt I'll get a response saying that it'll be on fake plates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Considering there are plenty of folk in medical schools from 'disadvantaged backgrounds' (widening access) then that's obviously a load of pish. Having seen applications first hand, simply having 'the minimum requirements necessary' will have you nowhere near getting accepted. The folk invited to interviews are doing loads of things like shadowing GPs, loads of volunteering, have pretty much straight As etc. In fairness, there might be reasons why someone from Possil has less opportunity to do all sorts of unpaid work or gain experiences. It depends upon individual circumstances I suppose, but if someone from a deprived area achieves 5 As it's probably more impressive than someone from a privileged area getting 5 As and then going to Kenya to help give out plasters and climb Mt Kilimanjaro, or shadowing Uncle Doctor. I also think that certain schools will be more likely than others to provide information on these requirements and will be more likely to give pupils support on how to go about getting the type of experience medical schools will be looking for.

Possibly, but I've seen applications from students from more deprived backgrounds who have managed to do plenty of extra things to support their application. Ultimately it's up to the student to find out how to do these things and do them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
