From the Site:
For students who hope to study medicine, the college years are little more than a time to earn top grades by whatever means necessary. Their mercenary tactics can be tremendously annoying, but that irritating behavior is not entirely their fault.
Pre-med students may be victims of a broken system. Medical school admissions should be competitive, but the standards have become so stringent that scholars must nearly abandon their individuality to ceaselessly study.
Perhaps, instead of separating the brightest students from the rest, pre-med programs weed out all but the few who are willing to give everything up — hobbies, athletics, even their curiosity — for the sake of a high-paying job as a body mechanic.
These are sweeping generalizations that are intended to provoke a heated debate, so try not to get too offended.
