Would Heisenberg get into medical school??

[Great White Buffalo]

A few threads mention the binge watching of Breaking Bad during this application cycle. One of my all time favorite guilty pleasures.

Question, with all the mental abilities of Walter White, could he pull off getting into medical school??
Discuss.

Heck, yeah! Well of course if that was back in the day before his meth adventure.

Walt was brilliant, so of course he would be able to make the grades for med school lol...and I'd imagine he'd ace the MCAT.

Given his ability to skirt authorities, I bet he could fake it even after the the meth adventure.
Heck, he fooled the DEA brother in law for a few seasons!! That series was priceless, as his Heisenberg was truly scary.

Saul would get him in

How much would Saul charge him??

Could Heisenberg get into medical school?

Let's just say it's uncertain.

 

[baconshrimps]

Heisenberg would not get accepted to medical school for the following reasons...

1) he is unhinged
2) due to his age, the length of training until autonomous practice, and his health conditions, ADCOMS would likely wonder if his application/attendance in medical school is anything more than just an intellectual exercise.

 

[Oso]

yes, even if physical chemistry was a prereq.

 

[CarlosDanger]

He's got a PhD from Caltech, so definitely. He was also a teacher, so that takes care of the touchy feely part of his app. As long as his Certiphi comes back clean...

 

[Great White Buffalo]

Walter White, the ultimate non-traditional applicant: PhD, entreprenuer, years of service as a High School Chemistry Teacher, taking a Jesse under his wing as a mentor. He's checked all the boxes.

Never got caught, the background check would come back clean. Saul would make sure of it with his vacuum cleaner guy!!

He was also a Car Wash Professional!

 

[Mavs88]

lol, actually Saul would get him in. Probably take $100K and get him a Caribbean diploma the next day. "I know a guy who knows a guy..."

Gawd I miss this show :'( But, Better Call Saul starts this fall on amc

I'm visiting ABQ soon and will visit some filming locations.

Gus would give him a terrible LOR.

Yeah but his colleagues from Grey Matter would write him phenomenal recommendation letters, as would that supa-fine principal of the high school he teaches at.

Hook it up with some Pollos Hermanos.

Did you know that the guy who plays Ehrmantraut was in an episode of Parks & Rec?

Yep. He pretty much has the exact same demeanor as in BrBa.

You mean he is a fossil in both of them. Old curmudgeonly old man.

Fa sho, well at least the "Twisters" fast food restaurant that it was set in.

I don't think Gretchen and Elliot were all that happy with Walt by the end of the show.

Walt could probably only get a good LOR from Skinny Pete and Badger.

Is it written by the same person? I hope it lives up to BrBa, it would be a shame if this became like that spin off season of Scrubs.

 

[masaraksh]

Matching into Derm would certainly make laundering all that money easier than doing it through a carwash.

trust me you can go anywhere in ABQ and you can rest assure that that location is in one of the movies. for instance: have you seen We are the Millers? thats ABQ airport, I got so excited seeing the airport, specifically AA terminal, and Sandia mountain in the back....

Don't forget the "I was so inspired by the dedicated physicians who cared for me when I was sick and I want to be just like them in bringing hope to patients who are afraid and uncertain." It is amazing that I haven't developed diabetes with all the sap and sugar I've been exposed to in PSs.

@LabratABQ and I will help you out!!

Awesome! I've been to ABQ once before and really, really liked it. This was pre-BrBa too lol.
I was in Rio Rancho, so Sandia was right there!

Better Call Saul will be done by Gilligan again, so it's the same geniuses. Though, they're saying it will have a lighter tone, it's a prequel and rumors say that Gus and Mike will make appearances. I'm curious to hear Saul's past.

Considering I have a personal experience similar to that but a million times less sappy...have you ever had a PS with that kind of topic that doesn't come off that way?

It can be done without sap or saccharine.

No love for my spot-on analysis? @LizzyM, might you weigh in on this? Does my interpretation seem accurate?

Psht, he was ready to give up.

Truth be told, I never got past season 1, episode 2.... when would he have applied (which season)? He might have had enough of a hook in his application that a school that likes "non-trads" would jump on him. At some point he did become unhinged (I kept up with the story although I didn't watch), early on he might have been an interesting applicant and he might have interviewed well. (Even unhinged he might have fooled some adcoms as he fooled his brother-in-law for so long).
