i'm currently a 4th year and i know that the surgery and rads kids did not have any connections neither did our urology guy. i find it a tad insulting that someone who doesnt know a single person in my class would just make assumptions like that.
on a separate note...even if someone does have a connection, they still need to be a qualified applicant which takes a lot of hard work and their acheivment should not be down played.

Could any 4th year or recent grads from Sackler please comment on this? I find it hard to believe that so much of Sackler's apparent success can be attributed to nepotism. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that nepotism isn't a part of the field of medicine and that it doesn't factor in to some people's success, but if all Sackler students were so well connected, why are they at Sackler to begin with instead of US school where they have family connections or what not? Seems like the poster might be painting with broad strokes, although I might be wrong, which is why I would like some other people to possibly weigh in.
