Dante Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 oh give me a break... honestly these guys were the most accomodating and welcoming people i've met in a long time. try actually getting to know them (ie NOT on some random message board) before passing judgement.

Darla Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I agree with Dante. Aside from my fiasco of an interview (my fault ) I had a great time with the 2010s and was really impressed with their attitude towards each other and outsiders.

jeff101 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 To be fair, the med students on these forums should understand that they are representatives of their institution – whether they would like to think so or not. Their childish rants reflect poorly on their school. I’m not painting every student at Queens with the same board brush. However, it is clear that one Queen’s student in particular, while he/she may not have meant any harm in the video that is the focus of this discussion, clearly meant to be adversarial in his/her posts on this board. Which is unfortunate and I think reflects the question of professionalism which started this whole debate. Sorry I just don’t like to see people being ignorant online, because you know this discussion/thread would have been very different in person. Everyone is different, if our ideas differ lets discuss them in a civil manner – and not resort to personal attacks against people with dysgraphia.

sensfan Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 i can assure you i am the only huge a-hole in queens meds 2010. and you know what, i don't care. i'm not gonna apologize. i have a right to my obnoxious opinion. especially on an informal type online majigger, which is basically just a floor for people's obnoxious opinions. i am hoping that anyone with enough intelligence can realize that i am one person and obviously don't represent my class in general. and i'm sorry, but i'm not about to be "professional" and sugarcoat what i say, because that's not my style. why does anger have to be unprofessional? why does defending something you believe in very strongly with strong words automatically make people think you're being unreasonable? i say what's on my mind. cause that's what forums are for. and if someone attacks me or something i believe in, i attack back. cause that's me. i don't let people get away with saying crap. if you're gonna give it, u gotta be able to take it. and with that, i leave this thread, because it's reading week and i have better things to do. like watch tv. and eat cheese. good day to all.

Kyleh Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Anybody know the link for the video on you-tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingalongdong Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Our interview video (2010) is not and in all likelihood will not be publicly distributed via youtube for various aforementioned reasons. But there are many funny Queen's med student videos that are already on youtube. Just type in Queen's Medicine. A personal favorite of mine is "Gold Digger" from the 4th years. They are the ones who made the previous interview video, "The Applicant". D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apothecary Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Personally, I loved the video. The song was pretty hilarious as well. I think that the 2010 class did a great job with the interview weekend; their enthusiasm showed and it was contagious. Regarding the professionalism issue, I only have this to say: every healthy profession has to be mocked for its own good, and there is no one more qualified to mock a profession than the professionals themselves.

LightsEternity Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 ugh i really liked that video ; i would really like to see it again.. oh well - I think the whole pt was to show a "little fun." However I noticed that at both Calgary and Queen's interviews - this fun can be taken in the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie99 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hey all, As a fellow 2010'er, I can understand sensfans' reaction - however visceral it was. The class of 2010 worked VERY hard on the video. Also, we are a very fun funny class (as those of you who haven't had your interview wknd yet will learn shortly), and I think it is fair to say that anyone without a sense of humor just won't fit in at Queens. The whole point of the video was to give the interviewee's a minute of fun and distract them from the stress of interview day. As previously mentioned, the song was written by our bioethics head, and was also meant to be fun. I think most of the jokes are things that are well known to be stereotypes of each particular med school. Most of our class did their undergrad degrees (and some of them, masters degrees) at the other ontario schools that we make fun of, so we know full well that the other schools are good schools with lots of amazing people. I hope everyone who saw the video understands the light-hearted manner in which it was intended. I hope everyone who is coming to the next interview weekend has fun with it too. I wish you luck in the interview process, and I hope to see you in September, where we will continue to have much much fun for many years to come (alright, 3 years....but who's counting?). ps I was the verifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
