UHHHHHH YOU NEEED TO HAVE THE PREREQUISITES COURSES. You just can't have a stellar GPA and perfect MCAT score of 528. NOPE. Doesn't count for shit, kid. You MUST pay may cronies another $20K for post-bacc education and waste more years of your life and try again next time. What's that? AP Credits? CLEP? I don't think so buddy. We can't make much money off those, so we require you to take the courses. Otherwise, it would not be fair. Would not be fair to my fellow numbskulls who lack innate intelligence. We value hard work in our society, not intelligent people.

I didn't understand any of that
Why is the American education system so complicated
Why can't you just have graded courses that collectively constitutes a degree like every other country

GPA = Grade Point Average
MCAT = standardized exam for medical school
Prerequisite courses = [Many STEM Graduate-level programs mandate prerequisite courses in America, which are set in stone. There is no getting around them. This benefits retards whose dream it was to do this since they were kids (delusional, neurotic midwits), who are told what to do by their parents and advisors. Meanwhile, actual intelligent people who form career goals when they are rational adults, pay the price by being forced to take years of useless courses, which is an insult to injury if they already possess levels of expertise in these fields]

You can get around that shit in undergrad, you just need to make a convincing case (or raise hell if it affects graduation timeline). It's impossible to do for medical school though.

And the freshman chem class at UC school isn't as hard as taking the MCAT and scoring a perfect score. There is no need for these requirements if someone already has expert level knowledge. It is only going to cost them years off their limited life, and even more money.

i failed chem but only because my teacher wouldnt provide me with material because hes a dick and i skipped classes from a serious infection.

the material is all there. they usually post it online, they even have office hours to help you review exams.

the only work you have to put into a class every week? maybe 6 hours for undergrad, including classes

honestly they just want to see whose not a retard and will stick with college.

if you get all as, your college is payed for and they will even give you at least a thousand dollars for working hard.

i dont see what the big deal is here. youre getting payed to take easy classes, and party all day.

if your major is taken seriously, itll even give you time to prepare a master thesis for when you graduate.

That's not why. What if you long ago matriculated and lack them? This is where it messes up the so-called nontraditional students. They may have had a great GPA. They might get a perfect MCAT/GRE/GMAT/PCAT score. None of this will matter if there is a prerequisite mandate making them need to go back to school for a year or two.

Quoted By:

The reason most without skin in the game defend these policies is done purely out of spite. They hate intelligent people who can just waltz right through everything, while these midwits, have struggled their entire life because they wanted to "do this since they were kids" and had to "work for it". Deep down, they hated everything they ever learned and viewed it as a enormous struggle just to get the prestige of playing doctor. Nothing made them angrier than seeing someone who put minimal work and surpass their performance by miles at the same time. I've seen premeds complain when people do well. They resent it whenever someone is genuinely smart and talented and when they get in a position of power, like say a panel, or even spewing platitudes on some forum, they will do all in their power to defend their life of toiling for their precious prize. So when a non-trad comes along, they hate them with malice. Oh yeah? Think your so smart? THEN WORK FOR IT.
