Most of all is the worthlessness of so-called "resources" on those sides of the college-- people not at office hours, people giving me no/crap advice, people not answering emails, those kind of things. Next is how people "do things for med school". Volunteering? For med school. Research? For med school. It's all lip service and it makes me feel incredibly cynical and jaded. Now don't get me wrong, there's some great people there as well. But still. This happens at every major where people want to get ahead in their lives. I'd argue that business school is even worse than you think it would be, since you have to pay lip service to everyone and network in order to get into a big firm to start (There's a reason why most people of power started at famous business companies). If you're not well-connected, you'll be spending time sucking up to recruiters and polishing your resume by volunteering, interning, and/or researching on why they should pick you over some kid who's family is already in the business and/or top-tier school. | ||
