thats why most other universities got rid of that kind of interview. now there is this speed dating kind of one where you have 2 minutes with each person and each person gives you an independent score.
i guess it is more obvious that it is strictly superficial, initial impressions.
sometimes they even do candidates a favor by not telling the interviewers whether they are interviewing people for medicine or for other things like nursing or optometry or pharmacy or whatever. so... a general personability rather than 'one of us' judgment.
i genuinely do think that disability criterion in this country is a box that you tick which means you have targeted yourself for 'special treatment' for sure.
in medicine... it's meant to be about keepign your head down (if you have been pre-tagged as 'one of us') or taking your chances, if not. there are high rates of drop outs. doctors need to marry people and drop out doctors seem to be ... uh... there for that? i know it used to be nurses but the 'class divide' in these parts means that's increasingly not going to happen.
suppose i do get to do medicine... what are teh chances i end up learning from / working with people who aren't psychopaths?
i think i've seen genuine people...
it takes time...
to tell...
of course theres a lot of hodge podge and one don't need to be good at everything... just try and keep your head down while you figure out what people want from you.
you can tell people from this country. they are the ones focused on warily scanning for predators.
the supposed alphas, even, are huddled together like alpackas.
it is not a nice way to live.
