Looks like medicos just aren't willing to move on from "ranks".

I went to take admission the other day, and met so many fellow new to be residents, the common feeling of anxiety among everyone definitely helped me feel better about myself, that i was not the only one feeling this way. But one thing that stung me really badly was how everyone is so obsessed with asking each other's PG ranks. I really thought this was something only new UG's are obsessed with, but, NO! Even after clearing PG , doctors can't help but ask about each other's ranks. While i understand it's a major factor in how you got here, but asking your rank in the first meeting kinda seems weird in my opinion.

Is this just in my college or is everyone experiencing this?
