This question clearly reveals your lack of understanding of the US medical education system.

I hate responding to trolls, but your comments through the thread have been a bit abrasive to me. Accusing someone of 'cheating the system', saying someone has to work 70 hrs a week, only having one shot, saying they should quit, telling them they must work 13hours a day to learn.

I'm assuming you're in (or rather I hope you are) medical school and not just someone applying. Here is the rub. Some people don't have to try to do well. There are people who never studied for the MCAT and scored 36+. They didn't have to really try to do well.

A radiology at the place he mentioned is very competitive, so it is safe to assume this guy was at the top of his class. The intelligence/knowledge difference between the top of the class and the bottom is enormous. Not everyone is the same. Don't fault him for what he wants to do in his free time.

Thank you for writing this. I hadn't taken the time to look at the usernames among all the negativity in this thread and realize much of it was from the same person.

Side note when looking at your profile: looks like both hnofficehours.com and hackernewsers.com are down/no more? Dead links.
