Without even taking the MCAT.
I'm not naive. I know that in the world, it's who you know. But explain to me, a 27-year-old former computer graphics guy who's now back in school to become a doctor how a kid with no MCAT score and no AMCAS application gets into med school? Ding, ding, ding, could it be Daddy's financial contribution to Gov. Crist and Crist's letter of recommendation? This story is disgusting. The selection committee should walk.
