The title alone 100% perfectly encapsulates trying to get into medical school.

In Canada, the people who get to become doctors are not the most learned, selfless individuals who genuinely want to help others. The people who now get into medical school are the most ferociously competitive and manipulative, the ones who are willing to embellish their accomplishments and argue against every mark taken off every assignment and quiz, the ones who are willing to pretend they have learning disabilities so they get double the exam time of their peers. I was a science TA for years, and I got to see every flavour of sociopathic doctor-wannabe.
