Be honest: why are premeds hated so much in research labs? I’ve seen a lot of grad students, postdocs, and lab staff talk negatively about premeds and I’m curious where that comes from.

Is it:

lack of commitment?

résumé padding?

ego?

leaving after getting hours/posters?

not actually caring about science?

Oh here is a new one I just found out, Premeds also sabotagging other's experiments out of spite.

I'm just curious because my last PI hated accepting Premeds themselves and really wanted Pre-phds.

But just give me your thoughts. I'm genuinely curious

What's the most "stereotypical" premed thing y'all have experienced personally?

Could be:

Anything like Rudeness, crazy obsession, MCAT ego, insane competitiveness, etc.

And another, what are awesome hobbies to just get distracted from? I'm thinking soccer and calisthenics, but I always think sports
