Best mspe noteworthy characteristics reddit12/28/2023 ![]() but finding out about the truth behind the 5th spot brought the imposter syndrome roaring back to life despite when she heard about it, floyd was complimenting her relentlessly, praising her talent and even offering his own revelation about nottingham and how his spot being bought also didn't take away from the fact that he's an exceptional doctor. ![]() it was first apparent in her disbelief and way she talked about herself getting a residency spot in 3x14 and cycled through again in 4x02 and 4x03 but i thought from then on it had mostly been settled. ![]() You're right anon, i do think leyla has a strong case of imposter syndrome and that fed into her reaction as well. from wiping out the waitlist for the meals for senior program so her patient wouldn't suffer from malnutrition to giving brandon her personal number in 4x01 so he would have help remembering how to take his medicine to providing all the residents with new ipad and equipment because everyone deserves a level playing field. like you said anon, lauren is a genuinely nice person who makes kind gestures. lauren buying food and clothes for leyla weren't attempts at owning her or buying her affection. we literally see the episode and countless scenes in future episodes that disprove that notion. they told her that her technology, not having to take 4 buses to get to work, made her privileged. similar to what happened in 4x02 with the residents. but the way she lumped in the clothes and food to this idea of being bought? being owned? to say that those were things she didn't think she earned? it's like finding out about the 5th spot dropped this shroud over her eyes that made her retroactively see things in ways that aren't true. Look, i totally get the fury at the 5th spot situation because that was a whole different universe of crossing lines. why? did she think someone else was more needy than her for that resource? what would it have taken for her to accept going to a shelter? where was her line before admitting okay, i could use some help? with her being a reoccuring character i don't know if we're going to get someone challenging leyla on that or see her introspection. i mean leyla turned down a spot at a shelter and would rather live in her car on the streets in nyc. why is her idea of success and worth so deeply engrained in that concept? because it's not /just/ about money. done the best i could with what little i had." but there's so much more i need to know. like we know she was a doctor and she trained in war torn areas, she's had hardships, "i've always scraped by. it twists me up even more that the writers are putting such an emphasis on this idea of earning your success without the help of anyone or anything through leyla when we know so little about her backstory. needlessly suffering or enduring hardship or being distrustful of kind gestures to feel like you've truly earned something isn't a healthy. so i understand that chip on your shoulder that leyla has but. i'm a first generation american and i was raised all my life with this idea of doing it yourself and every good deed or nice thing someone does for you has an unspoken string attached that you need to pay back. but when leyla made that comment about the food and clothes and saying that it's on her for going along with those things, it frustrated me on a visceral level i didn't expect. Not every good student will Honor, but most people who Honor are good students.It's easy to focus on lauren's flaws and faults because she's the main character, we've been with her for 3 seasons, gotten detailed looks into her past and struggles and well let's be honest she does still have a lot to reconcile. (Yes there are exceptions at many schools, but overall Honors are hard to get and mean a lot). Many schools limit these to 10-20% and require good evals and good shelf scores to reach an Honors. Now, Honors on the other hand speak for themselves. I can't imagine anyone drawing meaningful differentiations between candidates this way, especially from students at different schools. I'm picturing the PD comparing Johnny with 15 generic comments 20 excellent comments and 2 not so great comments to Sarah who had 30 generic comments 20 excellent comments and 1 not so great comment to Matt who has 10 generic and 10 excellent comments. Individual LORs in the specialty of interest are likely more important to really understand how the applicant is. Most students will have a range of comments from mediocre "performed as expected" to glowing ones "amazing student/excellent work on team" Good luck interpreting 50+ comments in each MSPE to objectively compare 100s of applicants.
