And hard work is hard work. But the outcome of hard work is often very different depending on where your starting line is. If a homeless person works very hard they will end up much better off than they would have otherwise and that is true but it is almost a guarantee that someone who is rich that works EQUALLY as hard will climb much much higher because of their access to different opportunities. So yes the statement "hard work is hard work" is true, it's just a little lazy in my opinion.

For example, a orthopedic surgeon probably doesn't need to be as personable as a PCP to do their job efficiently

Worked full time and went to school full time, graduated with a 3.46. Went to grad school for MBA, graduated with a 3.67. Now I’m pursuing a rewarding career. Yeah, maybe if I did better in high school I would’ve done better in college and landed somewhere just a bit more competitive. I could make a bunch of excuses as to why I didn’t but that’s behind me.

As someone whos been in a similar state as opal (recovering addict and also premed) i would like to say to me it seems he has been hurt a lot and when you come to that point that he has of having to resort to rehab it comes down to the mentality of "work will pay off no matter what" when in reality its not that simple but if he let himself believe anything else than that he would probably just relapse.

As someone who is ND, with ADHD and in the tism spectrum, Opal reminds me of certain things in myself. The extreme straightforwardness, some inability to think abstracty (hard work is hard work). I asked the same thing when he asked Emily why she hesitated switching, if I got a 1600 score, I wouldn't have hesitated to switch as to me that is fact, why would I act as if I didn't, or hesitate? People say he is arrogant, he might be, but it reminds me way more of how my tism works, when something is a fact it is a fact and that makes it unmovable, and when you don't catch social queues (and forget to mask and act bashful about things that simply are) it comes across as arrogance.

@@LaMC944 Modern neurodevergent culture is a huge problem. There is so much misinformation floating around about what these disorders really are, and it is getting so skewed that people are claiming it is not a disability, or a disorder. It is perpetuating cute names (the tism), calling normal every-day things people albeit not very common as Autistic or ADHD, validating self-diagnosis and going as far to calm self-diagnose is more accurate than MDs/PhDs who devoted their profession into researching these disorders. People who actually have these diagnosis don't like to see what they struggle with being adopted as a group of fun and unique personality traits. There are people suffering with these disorders and seeing them minimized makes us feel like garbage, and worry about being excluded and marginalized once again. Yes the tism meant to be light hearted, thut thrown around to describe yourself is very cringe. To parade these disorders around like it is who you are is harmful for us who have no choice because it will always be a part of us.

I have to disagree I think that the SAT and ACT are both important tests that should be mandatory, my reasoning behind why is that it is something universal meaning there shouldn't be any bias there, unlike with schools GPAs differ greatly depending on what school you go to and even what classes you take within the same school so, in my opinion, standardized tests are a great indicator of how well you are going to do, generally speaking (you are an exception to this obviously). I do agree that they should be made shorter or maybe even just split to where you take each section on a different day, but the problem is that with a person's GPA there are just way too many unknown variables at play, especially for international students where schools have different rules.

It bugs me that almost everyone's GPA was > 4.0. I'm years out of high school but this brought me back to feeling insecure and competitive over grades.

Probably just because they took a whole bunch of AP courses + the shown GPA being weighted. Ultimately, GPA is in no way a viable means of ranking someone. Nobody has the same situation. A valedictorian is not better than another person. Rather, everyone is just a different person who face different challenges which are unfortunately reflected onto their GPA’s. Unfortunately, we probably have to wait like a century or two for the education system to get better through generations of insightful people.
