i think there are people who do want me to succeed, actually.
i think that there are people who genuinely do want more diversity in medicine. the problem is that you also need competent practitioners and quite a lot is required for that. in terms of background knowledge, yeah. in terms of your ability to acquire quite a lot of new knowledge in a fairly quick time frame.
i think they have opened up the social science pathway to medicine in the genuine hope that they do get a bunch more people applying... i don't think it is just a gimmick. i think they are genuinely sad that not many are getting in on that pathway... mostly... because their students aren't meeting the grade cut-off, i think. they can waive the physics... they can lighten the load (for verbal students) by giving them a bunch of woffly crap (sort of interesting, to be fair)... but all that... isn't enough to get them A's (the cherished A f*ck*ng minus for org chem).
maths... maths maths maths maths... what am i going to do?
i got some of the course books for last year's foundations maths... maybe i'll have to go back and suck up some more and get the course books for the other units... then do them my f*ck*ng self. AGAIN. ffs. :(
