Anyone hook up thanks to MCAT?

No, it didn't happen to me although there were some hunnies, playboy bunnies giving me the eye at the MCAT test center. Girls can smell the sexy from a mile away, what can I say.

But really, I'm wondering if anyone got close to someone due to the preparation time spent together for the MCAT.

Supposedly when exams roll around, people get pretty horny. I need to corroborate this theory so I can use the knowledge for Good... and maybe some Evil.



Stories please?

dude, gross. If you have to do flirting over the internets

hee hee, he said "internets", just like Bush. 😛

dude, gross. If you have to do flirting over the internets, confine it to pm. And as a general rule you might want to limit the jerking off references, a small minority of women find them unsexy. Unless you're sending pm's over buk-kakenet, then fire away (pardon the pun).


edit: i cannot believe the b* word is bleeped out. unreal.

hey, that was a great post. I thought it was funny and the person to whom it was directed seemed to have no problem with it.

I actually found your reference to porn far more unsettling.

At my administation of the MCAT, you could tell which candidates had the form with the Kama Sutra passage in VR. Their heavy breathing and shifting around in their chairs was really distracting.

....yeah, I can see how you would get off on Boy George--the Culture Club Boy George though, not the late 90's fat, bald Boy George.

I've seen a couple recent interviews with him/her. What a very strange person.

My deep dark 80s secret: in 1983 I saw Duran Duran and Culture Club at the civic center in Minneapolis. I was an impressionable youth, and hanging around with a bad crowd.

the reflex is a door to finding
treasure in the dark



For a band that looked as purposely gay as they did, I'm sure they got more tail in the 80's than anyone this side of Bon Jovi.

When I took kaplan, two of my friends didn't hook up but broke up! We were all in the class together and they started to date around the November before and Kaplan started in January. The pressure started to build and they broke up by March. He ended up leaving kaplan for the rest of the weeks.

 

[QofQuimica]

what if a student initiated something... is that against the rules?

lol, I can't believe that I just wasted my time reading through this thread, but I have to say, you guys are a hoot. Somehow, none of my MCAT students have ever asked me out, so I've never had to face temptation. I DID get asked out by a much younger fellow employee though. 😳 I had to turn him down, if for no other reason than that he lived at home with his parents. He WAS legal, but he couldn't drink yet.

I'll bet they've never asked you out because they were intimidated by you. I, of course, do not get intimidated -- I could be in mortal danger, obvious to everyone else, and have no clue. Problematic on occasion, but it does mean I get to give people the opportunity to turn me down on a regular basis.

Another reason not to take Kaplan: it destroys relationships.

so aaaaah...do youuu.....you come here often? 😉

Hmm, well, you should avoid any Kaplan/TPR miscegenation. 😱 I'm SURE that's gotta be against the rules, many times worse than fraternizing with students.

Guess what, Shrike? I found out yesterday that I have to complete a sexual harrassment workshop. 🙄 What am I going to learn, that I might sue myself for damages if I touch myself inappropriately??? That I'm not allowed to coerce my students into sleeping with me by telling them that their MCAT will be ten points higher if they do???

Here's to you, Mrs. QofRobinson......

Well, at least you all know that I'm a she now. 😍

This thread is funny. We should keep it around when we get the more serious threads bringing us down. 😀

Hmm... from the evidence provided thus far I conclude that tests inhibit reproduction and hence the fitness of our species. It would therefore be wise to eliminate test-taking in favor of something much more likely to increase fertilization-- namely, drinking competitions.

And while you may not want your life in the hands of a drunk doctor, we'd all be getting laid a lot more and theoretically this is a good thing.

REALLY?? Damn, I missed that boat.

This is advice to all you single males studying for the MCAT over the summer.
FORGET ABOUT CHICKS!!!! They will do nothing but distract you from the task at hand. Act completely indifferent to all women during this period of your life. Focus all the energy you would normally expend getting laid to your MCAT study's. This will pay dividends later when you get your score and it says 35 while the guy wasting his time with girls gets a 26. He might have been getting laid during your lonely MCAT existence, but just think of all the nurses, elementary school teachers, and ballerinas you can field with an MCAT score that assures your acceptance.

Another funny thing about girls is this, they are like cats. When you are in a room with a Cat the best way to attract it is to ignore it. When you are indifferent to it, it wants to try to win your affection. Women are the same way. They will all want to jump your bones after the MCAT because you have ignored them for "like three months, like what is wrong with this guy, does he not think I am cute, O my god here he comes let me play with my hair and act dingy." Catch my drift dudes stay the course and dont let any females distract you, you've got the rest of your life to make babys, three months is nothing to sacrafice for a better score, and if you follow my advice you will have more baby making opportunities after test day.

Adios

well said....**** the girls. who cares.....99% of the time they won't be around long enough anyways....are they gonna pay your bills....see you through medical school make your dreams happen? think with the REAL head....not the number 2 head....ok boys? FOCUS!

[Surferdude]

seriously, who cares about the girls.....that test is one of the worst exams you will ever face in your life....think of it as a stepping stone, not a challenge....medical school is everything it's cracked up to be. I can't picture myself doing anything else in life, but medicine......focus people.



Touchdown!

u need to calm down dude. being stressed out wont help u with anything.

Miscegenation statutes have been invalidated. You're gonna have to look for another excuse.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the fact that the one who lamented wasting her time reading this thread has now chimed in with the mention of touching herself. Good to see you getting into the spirit of things. Or rather, it would be good to see that. Or something like that.

Sorry, after your new sensitivity training you are going to have to stop wielding your awesome power over your students to obtain sexual favors. Now you'll just have to extract extra money or something.

Hey, here's a thought -- do you know for certain that they're going to teach to avoid sexual harassment?

 

[Shrike]

Theoretically? What, you're not sure it's true in practice?

Sounds like a good science fair experiment.

A. CHILL OUT!!!!!!!
B. The MCAT IS NOT THE WORST TEST
There will be the boards which are far worse.
C. People know what they need to do. However, as someone pointed out...
Not all 24 hours of the day should be MCAT MCAT MCAT.

I wasn't talking about statutes; I'm talking about company policy. 🙄 Sometimes laws do actually make sense, although it's probably accidental in many cases. But do company rules and mores ever make sense??? Anyway, if I were writing the book, I'd include that rule just because it's ridiculous and unenforceable. 😛 You know what? Forget the MCAT prep books; we can just use Examkrackers. Let's write a company policy manual from hell instead, sell it to corporations, and make a zillion dollars. You have just enough legal training to be dangerous. It'd be fantastic.

You're right, they don't technically teach you to avoid sexual harrassment....they teach you to avoid being CHARGED with sexual harrassment. So I guess as long as you don't get caught, it's ok? 🙄 But I can't touch myself, or I'd be touching an employee inappropriately. Sorry to ruin your test prep fantasy. 😉

Hmm, extortion has NOT been mentioned anywhere as being against the rules. I like the way you think. I also didn't see anywhere that I'm not allowed to have students pay me to take the MCAT for them. Which some (mostly joking!) have offered to do. But absolutely, positively, NO HUGGING STUDENTS.

We have a plan, then. Together, we will write corporate policy, engage in extortion, teach some seriously good MCAT prep, and eschew touching ourselves. Luckily, that doesn't preclude all possible avenues to enjoyment.

TPR actually does have an explicit rule against taking the test for a student. In fact, I think it applies to taking the test for anyone else, customer or not. And gosh, I was just itching to do that... I have received feelers but not formal offers, enough to make me muse about what it take to get me to do such a thing. The question is how many digits; that number is not small. Fun to contemplate. One of my coworkers once received a serious offer of $30,000 to take the GMAT; he declined. (He jokes that he was holding out for 50, except that I'm not sure he was joking.) What do you figure a 43 (from you) or 40ish (from me, next time I try it) is really worth? What's a 180 on the LSAT worth? Or 800 on the GMAT?

But, back to the important issue at hand: whom we can touch. I think your statements above support the inference that it is OK to touch (but not hug) anyone who will not sue for harassment. We need to keep this in mind.

I definitely want my kid to go to that school. Introduced to the ways of the world, and a rational approach thereto, early on -- gotta be a good thing.
