Hahaha Rachiie! Reminds me of when I did actually get caught copying homework in 7th grade. We had these things called Saturday Detentions, and if you had one, you weren't allowed to attend a school dance that month. I remember bawling my eyes out when the office made me call my mom...and my mom said she heard me crying as if someone died and panicked. Once I told her I got a Saturday Detention for copying homework, she was like " wow seriously? You were dumb enough to get caught COPYING HOMEWORK? You deserve all the punishment".
I made Gold rank in League of Legends.
I'm so sorry.

Oh, I thought that using fake ids and whatnot in college was a given? I figured that everyone was a drunk in college but being a sneaky little **** since elementary school might not apply to all. Whoops lol.Lol is elementary school HW literally the only thing you guys can think of?
How about that time when you got super ****ed up at a frat party and hooked up with someone you shouldn't have? Or when you "shared" labs with friends in other sections? That time you got away with something the police definitely would've been interested in?
I know I'm not the only one who indulged in the college life, cmon now!
All will come out after October 15th, my friend.These are some lame-ass secrets. It's totally normally for people to drink themselves sick in college, unless you were a raging alcoholic that couldn't stop doing it weekly there's no reason to think you'd be condemned for it.
I suspect the biggest/most frequent secret by far is cheating in undergrad. Would kill people's apps if discovered, and is absolutely rampant at a lot of schools, mine included. It's basically available for anyone that wants to cheat - the school can't strip search you to find that cellphone hidden in your pocket, your school can't prevent you from going to the restroom, and your school can't monitor what you do in the restroom. Suddenly a ton of people need to use the bathroom 15-20 minutes into that bio/chem/ochem/calc test! Googling mechanisms, refreshing on those hormones you forgot, using wolfram alpha, etc...people lacking good ethics can really get ahead.
Hell even in stuff like easier upper-level psych classes there is cheating. Phone pics of last year's test being circulated among a frat/sports team and their good friends, that kind of stuff. Considering the proportion of students that are premed in these classes and that they are the most motivated to cheat, I'd bet a disgustingly large chunk of premeds coming out of my school have a cheater secret that would make an adcom do a lot more than just reconsider

Except that he's still convinced his "secret" isn't immoral lol.@METTA WORLD PEACE would enjoy this thread...
I knew you seemed more like a Halcyon31!My real name isn't Halcyon32.
WOW that felt good to get off my chest

High school was so not worth my time- I never did the homework because I found it too boring, and just dropped out and got my GED because the whole process was just ******ed and largely irrelevant to my life goals. I wouldn't judge someone for cheating in HS because it's nonsense.I could totally see that, especially in premed where grades were critical. Luckily (or not?) for me, my grades didn't matter at the time for me in undergrad (that came with its own sets of problems though!) so I took a "C gets degrees" path...
I cared a lot in HS though, so I could unabashedly say, I totally cheated on homework then. Too big of a wuss to do it on exams (because for us, supposedly they would automatically fail us + report us to our undergrad institutions) so I never did that. But oh man was I tempted a few times! (Yes, I suppose I'm horrible because my biggest motivation for NOT doing something is the risk/consequence of doing so, rather than the moral implications..especially when it comes to victimless crimes)
I'd have to imagine everyone has done something bad. Be it cheating a tiny bit on an assignment, using study drugs without a script, saying something incredibly offensive...the list goes on forever.
What self respecting 22 year old can honestly say they've never gotten WAYYYYY too drunk at a party or something?

Well, if SDN really wants to know my secret, I'll just say I get nervous around women (adding the hot factor essentially liquefies me). But I think everyone here knows that already 🙁
Cheating is just stupid.

This information does not leave SDN you hear me?I knew you seemed more like a Halcyon31!
If I could go back in time, I would love to have worked for 3-4 years while and studied for my GED instead of sitting through high school.
Mix of both I think. In some situations it's downright logical for even a hard worker to start to cheat, if their best effort still only nets them B- prereq grades.they can't pull the As without cheating? Can no amount of hard work save their grade? Or are they just lazy, and capable, but don't want to put in the effort?
Not necessarily in that order though, right? I mean education DOES come first.It's funny because if I could go back in time, I'd kill Hitler. And then I'd redo high school, take it seriously, and do extremely well.
Didn't you go to an Ivy League undergrad? How did you do that if you didn't take highschool seriously ?!It's funny because if I could go back in time, I'd kill Hitler. And then I'd redo high school, take it seriously, and do extremely well. I'd probably be an attending by now if I had.

Must have been weird being a freshman in your late 20's lolI'm a nontrad. I went to art school after high school, dropped out, then took a very loooooooooong road (full of secrets) back to finish my degree at an Ivy.

Well, I came in as a junior, technically, and only needed to do another three years. But yes. It's weird being around kids all day long.
Really old super-seniors for the win!Same!
Except not at an Ivy. 😛

I'd be a big fan of a policy that said no coming back after using the restroom, but I feel like that's asking for bad press when students go in their seats during tests! I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit from something like thatYour school is weaksauce. 😉
In many -though not all- of my classes you couldn't leave the room unless you had finished the exam. If you left you couldn't come back. And if the group was small enough and the prof felt courteous, you could go to the bathroom but accompanied by a TA only. 😱
I was at a party my sophomore year raging it up when the cops decided to crash the place. Pretty much 90% of the people there were underage and the cops were lining people up against the wall and stopping people from trying to run away. I remember thinking to myself "I'm f***ed, I'm never going to make it to med school with this on my record" (there were drugs and other crap around and I was a scared premed). Somehow, I had a bright idea that if I acted like I owned the place I could maybe escape. I summoned up all my confidence and walked straight passed the cops through the front door, once outside, I walked straight passed the cops chilling by their cars. None of them said a single word to me, I just avoided eye contact. Once I felt like I was in the clear I sprinted all the way home. Lol
Does liking Simple Plan and Good Charlotte well into my 20s count as a secret?
Liking them ever should be kept secretDoes liking Simple Plan and Good Charlotte well into my 20s count as a secret?
Sucks that I had to compete with people like that when I could work hard and have highly competitive stats without cheating.Mix of both I think. In some situations it's downright logical for even a hard worker to start to cheat, if their best effort still only nets them B- prereq grades.
Try my best honestly -> near 100% chance of being non-competitive for med school
Start to cheat -> very slim odds of losing shot at MD from being caught, very high chance they get away with it and can get some nice high grades to make them more MD competitive
