deeman101 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Ok I've come to the conclusion that adcoms need to add one important prereq for admissions: burn out. Burn out sucks, I wouldn't wish it upon anybody. In my particular case it resulted in me falling asleep at the wheel and crashing into a guard rail on the highway (in my 2nd year of UG). But I think its better to burn out before med/residency than during. Consequences are way less. And it teaches you the value of your time/effort. No the world is not your oyster, nor do you have infinite ability to conquer it. Too many try-hards burning out in my class right now. Its a 5 to 9 year marathon! Not a sprint! Its as annoying as watching rich kids spend $$ like it grows on trees. I feel ^ is what leads to so many docs and med students hating their lives, their patients, etc. Burn out earlier! Undergrad is actually the perfect time. That way you know that yes you DO have to conserve energy and ration your mental strength, and henceforth live overall a healthier life through your years of training and practice. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm already done with that too.. I'm avoiding a whole lot of people in my class right now because they're just so damn stressed out about our first exam which is pretty easy stuff really. Our FB group starts with 25-30 posts about past exam questions where they argue and stress even more! Oh well they'll figure it out eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey nikki, we are in the same boat, the only difference being perspective or attitude. I too have lost all friends. In your activities, you will find others with common interests. Your self-sacrifice was well worth it and it will all work out! Your best company is yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charmer08 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Applying for it, not doing it lol. I heard they are only giving out a few of them, and all RAY students working in organized research centres are eligible (including non-science ones like LaMarsh, apparently), so I'm not sure what the chances of actually getting it are. Not that it really matters as a RAY student since you are getting paid either way The student that David selected to apply for an NSERC two years ago got rejected, so yeah. yeah but I don't get that many hours as a ray student (I guess its diff if you're a RAY student in a research center tho)... that scholarship pays good money... better than NSERC - $3000 working part-time for 4-5 months vs. $4500 working full-time for 4 months (NSERC is such a rip-off lol) Don't you just need a high gpa to get an NSERC?
