Err,...what? Do you really think it makes such a big difference to start medical school at 22 years compared to 19 for example? Lower plasticity in an adult brain...lol.

I will never forget his win over Polt. Those games. That celebration. Just pure joy and wonderfulness.

This is the right decision for him, though I'm sad to see him go. Yay for Thorzain!

And Stephano can’t do the same, why? Thorzain said he practices every day for like 8-10 hours. Stephano said he barely practiced at all and had more success. Stephano should have remained the part time progamer since he only practices for like 1-3 hours a day and still places high at tournaments.

That people belive those stories....

So much negativity ... . Many people start studying with 22 or even later, and graduate students often are 26-30. So, based on experience, I don't think this is a valid point.

Playing SC2 while studying can be harmful, though. SC2 requires you to multitask, to observe minimal movements on the minimap, and to make quick decisions and actions. These skills are quite detrimental to concentrating on a book...

Obviously Thorzain in his infinite spoon wisdom has decided that it will benefit him to spend 5+ years studying the psychology of mind games and korean mentality.

Welcome to Linköping and glhf with the studies! =)

In the U.S., before going to "medical school", there is a regular 4 year undergraduate study at a university, after which you can apply to medical school, which is 3 years. It's very, very competitive and difficult to get in without being the cream of the crop. For context, could someone explain the equivalent process for which Thorzain is applying ? It seems a bit premature to announce "medical school" before having started the initial 4 years of undergraduate work, at least in the U.S. Is it different in Europe ? Does the process in Europe not involved several hundred thousand in debt for the medical school part alone ? Is it not as competitive as a barrier to entry as it is in the U.S. ?

I dunno what the EU is like but I'd have to agree. Canadian med schools don't even take you until you've done an undergrad.
