the idea of amcas veryifying anyone's application beyond the numbers portion is simply ludicrous. they receive tens of thousands of applications every year. avg. ten or so ECs per applicant--do the math. that's a hell of a lot of phone calls to make.
as far as medical schools checking up, well, i doubt that, too. again, they don't have unlimited man hours to devote to such things, especially during the admissions process. and re: the story of the guy who was expelled after admission, it just doesn't sound right. last time i checked, employers don't verify references after they've hired someone. why would a school bother to?
