So I am still waitlisted at a top-3 school, and I think it is because I crapped in my pants during one of the interviews. They gave us chili for lunch, and when the interviewer asked about a B+ I received during freshman year I got scared and it just "happened". It was very awkward, but thank god it was towards the end of the interview. I was shocked that they waitlisted me because I must have smelled some kind of awful. My question is: will it help me to get off the WL if I write a letter and apologize for soiling myself during the interview? Also, would it help if I said that I thought is only going to be flatulence, but was instead a shart? Also, I know that I cannot be the first person to poo his pants during an interview, so I would appreciate some support my fellow brown-trousers.
 
Goodness gracious. Never heard of this before but writing a letter for this isn't a good idea IMO
 
This reminds me of the How I Met Your Mother recent season finale. 😀
But hopefully it goes better for you.

You shat yourself during an interview. You really think that's med school material?
 
is this really working right now?

Dude, your interviewer probably knew you were full of ****.

Pun definitely intended.

No idea if this is real, but its the best post I've seen, maybe ever.
 
Would have been better if you put it on a hotdog bun. Then said I will eat this for admission. Now THATS dedication.
 
If I was going to retake the MCAT this summer, what kind of score would I need to get to overcome a pants-pooing?
 
Stay away from chili and high fiber foods (fiber one bars, kashi cereal) during your interview, folks.

Everyone knows that if you poop your pants you'll never be a good doctor.

You can't just go for the solid 32 or 33. I'm saying maybe straight 14's across the board. Also, you could try to sleep your way in, but you may not be attractive anymore on account of the feces in your pantaloons.

Step 1: Change pants.
Step 2: Nail MCAT.
Step 3: Sleep with at least 1 member of adcom from every school.
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Profit

It was from the 6th season that ended a couple weeks ago,

It was an awesomely cute episode.

Everyone Poops, OP.

You should be well aware of this, seeing that we both recommended this book to all the pre-meds in that one thread lol.
 
I'm sure there are plenty of people who have gone through this situation. **** happens....
 
I prefer the diarrhea thread, because I am pretty sure that was real life.

I wish I had some advice for the OP, but I have never experienced this. At most I can relate to accidentally farting while cuddling with your new boyfriend and then pretending to be asleep while hearing him try to contain his subtle giggles.

That was awesome. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Much better than the fake "I didn't get an A in Chemistry, am I screwed for life?!?!?!" threads.

P.S. Would have been more "believable" (though not really) if you didn't have UCSD SOM 2015 as your sig.
 
You ain't cool, unless you poop your pants.

Prolonged stress can disrupt the digestive system, irritating the large intestine and causing diarrhea, constipation, cramping, and bloating. Excessive production of digestive acids in the stomach can cause all sorts of problems including ulcers.

And if one craps their pants under a stressful situation such as an interview, which often are considered stressful, it appears that it might not give the interviewee a good sign of your stress management skills, which are often essential in a medical setting.

/takes thread seriously.
 
Something to add to my pre-interview list when the time comes around. Thanks for the warning. Never thought I would have to think of this, but thanks anyway.
 
Troll or not, this is some funny s**t. pun intended.

Maybe the interviewer was a gastroenterologist?? hopefully...they would probably appreciate that.

On the bright side, they'll never forget you.

Very good point. If you seek a residency/fellowship involving gastroenterology, you should mention this during your interview. It'll definitely set you apart from the competition.
