lets be onest, getting a million As isnt being a brainiac, its being someone who most accepts the status quo of studying 'ard for exams at an age when there are a thousand other fings to do, at the opportunity cost of these other life experiences.

and even more true, getting into med skool isnt that difficult if you've been cultured into receiving these million As.
but being a good ealthcare professional is an ole different ball game, wif many million A*s-ers being incapable of carrying out the tasks of a supernumerary Healthcare Auxiliary.

gizmo is right, it does take hard work. it takes determination and commitment.
However for some people it is easier, for some reason, and its not fair, but thats life. Still, it does not mean people have to be so brash as to quote their thoughts. Yes, sure, if you think you stand a grand chance of getting in because of the number of A's you hold, then thats fine, you can keep thinknig it, but you should really think before you post that thought as to how others will perceive you.
I am sure you will get in, most people with the grades get in, but i think you should be respectful of other peoples feelings a bit more before you post something that portrays ego and arrogance, unless you wanted to portray that?
