The acdoms on here aren't really adcoms /thread

Because adcom is short for admissions committee and it would be really something if multiple entire adcoms were coordinating to work as shared accounts.

Why not fake adcoms?

To answer your question OP...I believe they definitely know each other, especially in state schools.

Edit: Read the question wrong, I'm a special kind of idiot. Thought you were asking about adcoms in general, not the ones on SDN.

They wear special decoder rings that interlock . Once the rings fit they can start talking about the secret ceremonies involving ritual canabalism and sacrifice that they do to initiate application season.

The rings are buried with the wearer , and a few years ago there was a plot by some especially desperate premeds to infiltrate the cabal by exhuming a ring and going to a temple. however the premeds forgot that each ring has a password associated with it that is required after the interlocking but before the secrets of "holistic" selection can be revealed. They were reported to aamc and have now been blacklisted at all MD schools.

Or, you know they are medical education professionals that interact with each other at conferences.

I hear they have yearly BBQ get-togethers where they each print out the most ridiculous things SDNers have written and laugh.

I would guess the adcoms on sdn are quality people donating their expertise and unknown personally to other sdn adcommers. Really graceful donation of their time to be here.

Must be a week-long BBQ given our antics.

Only in the context of fellow medical educators. For example, I have friends and collaborators on Faculty at U AL, U NE, U OK, IU, LECOM, TUNCOM, Touro-CA, Northwestern, U MI and a few others. They are not always on their own Adcoms (I am). So I am tied into how some people think.

Admissions Deans seem to know a lot of each other, from what I've gleaned from the wily old Admissions Dean.

I've never been so curious about an anonymous person mentioned by another anonymous person as I have this "wily old admissions dean" .

Send him my regards.

I bet they have a lounge where they talk crap about all the premeds..
"Yea, I had this kid with a 4.0 GPA, 520 MCAT, great ECs, good kid, but he couldn't even get diamond in league.. REJECTED"
