jrebs... you are not that bright.
Here is the quote from the article.
Johnson hopes to attend medical school to become a neurosurgeon.
Trust me, he will not get accepted into any med school coming out of clarion. And re-read what I wrote as you obviously went to the school of dummies... like this kid.. obviously you are related!!
The 25th percentile SAT of Clarion incoming frosh was 830 (math + verbal)... the 75th percentile was 1050.
LOL
They spot you 400 just to sign you name!!
btw... I went to Columbia for my MBA.... currently live in NJ.

Plan 12, obviously your education at Pitt and your MBA from your "Ivy" league school (Phoenix University doesn't count), sure didn't teach you about the art of C-O-M-P-R-E-H-E-N-S-I-O-N. Never in that article did it say that he went to Clarion to go to medical school, and you quote, "....to go to Clarion because you want to go to med school." You must've went to Pitt in 2004 when they were the school with the lowest SAT scores in the nation. SO before you start to run your mouth one more time, I would love for you to please show me statistics saying that someone who graduates from Clarion will not be in the Ivy League... Please prove me wrong... Not that word of mouth garbage.... NO need to reply...

success is earned and jrebs...
Perhaps you don't get it... he won't get into ANY med school with a 4.0 out of Clarion.
If he is as smart as you say he is...
he is really DUMB...
Dumbest thing I ever heard of to go to Clarion because you want to go to med school.

Hank71, I don't know what level of education you have, nor do I care. I do know that it is more important where the young man decides to go to med. school. Princeton only takes the top 2% of people in the world. Given that statistic, I'm sure that he will get into a top notch med school.

No success, unless he is NBA material, he wont be able to do ANYTHING he wants with a sheepskin from Clarion. A degree from Princeton opens up doors upon doors of opportunity. That is a proven fact unlike some numbers you are spouting off in your reply.

Plan12, to call a young man's decision to switch school is "dumb" is idiotic on your part. I am willing to bet that his IQ is higher than you and everyone in your family combined..big kahoona(funny) based on your online name, I'm sure you have some short comings... Let's call it a hunch, lil man. This young man sr. year had a 5.0 val. in his class. He can do anything he wants.BTW: . I read in paper that the young man received player of the wk 3 out of his first 4 wks. Keep working young man, there are a lot of jealous idiots out there. No need to reply

Plan12, so you have an MBA, that doesn't speak anything about medical school. I know a lot of people who have their MBA, so congrats on that you are one of most American's who are pompous and have to flaunt around your MBA (Woooooo). So either you have the case to back it up, which you don't, so if you didn't get the message the first time.... NO need to reply.

bigkahoona and factchecker are spot ON!!!

jrebs25,
You are obviously clueless of what it takes to get into med school.
A 4.0 out of Clarion isn't going to cut it!!!
btw... I have my undergrad from Pitt and MBA from an Ivy!! just say'in

“I feel academically and athletically comfortable at Clarion,” Johnson said.
Translation: I couldn't handle the academics.
If your goal is truly to become a neurosurgeon, you just don't leave Princeton to attend Clarion unless you can't make the grades or can't pay the bills.
Spare me the nonsense of wanting/needing more playing time.

There are more factors to this than is being reported. No one in their right mind would leave Princeton for Clarion for only basketball purposes. Closer to home, cheaper, not as demanding academically....something is missing here.

Plan12, the DUMBEST decision was you typing that message. If you have a high GPA (that's Grade Point Average if you didn't know) then your case for medical school, regardless where you go, will speak for itself. If the kid wants to play basketball, why speak your mind about the "DUMBEST" decision. The ticket in college is an education and being in the right place to succeed, he wanted to do both. No need to reply

It is unknown whether transferring to Clarion was really a financial decision.
I'm assuming he had a free ride to Princeton.
If he had a free ride, DUMBEST decision I ever heard.
It is doubtful anyone came out of Clarion and went to medical school.
