Do you have a secret?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I never get why people cheat. I had a 3.81 with zero cheating, the hell is wrong with people that they feel they need to cheat to get by? And the cost if you get caught is just ridiculous, I don't get why people risk it. Are they just so bad academically that 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?

Maybe you had easy classes and decent professors. Hence why I believe GPAs within a certain range are just incomparable. Unfortunately premeds set up hostile environments in any science class where you have to do whatever you can to get a leg up and the temptations are strong. All in vain though, since cheating on the MCAT is near impossible and would guarantee the end of any dream about becoming a doctor.

Nice humble brag btw

It was a humble troll, but kthanx 😉

If people going into college are too dumb to do their research as to how much going to a given college will affect their ability to maintain a strong GPA and get into med school, they get a resounding "meh" from me, and certainly don't get a free pass to cheat.

This term humblebrag is being thrown around a lot on SDN

Humble bragging is rampant on sdn.

Yeah, it's not the term that's being thrown around a lot, it's the humble bragging.

Some people don't have the luxury of paying for an expensive private university that grade inflates and end up going to their state university where they deflate.

Not endorsing cheating in anyway, just saying there's more behind it than you see.

Dude, I went to community college and a cheap ass university part-time after I finished with my associates. I had less than 11k in debt for my entire education, I'm not exactly some spoiled brat that had a billion dollars to spend on his undergraduate degree. I was a high school dropout working retail.
 
I've never humble bragged in my life. It's not a big deal, it's just something that I feel that I'm above, even though I've had plenty of opportunities with my stats.
This is why I feel like you need to decapitate me and take my place Highlander style.

Being a pledge, you're forced to do things that you have to keep a secret.

From that (still talking about fraternities,) I did some questionable stuff as an active. Too much to drink, questionable nights with questionable people, and some weekends that, to this day, cannot remember. Going to a southern school in a fraternity is one hell of a ride, with more downs than ups some years.

any declassified stuff you could tell us about? i love hearing about my friends' frat (secret) stories
 
Hmmm. I don't drink, do drugs, cheat on tests (thus why I have 3 C+s on my transcript), or even Netflix and chill. I don't even have a Netflix or Tinder account.

I guess my two secrets would be that I troll people on Yik Yak by making them feel like crap for making grammatical errors, and I've beat every level of Candy Crush Saga.

Once, a girl started crying and told me that I was "**** as a human being" because she said "je peut vous aider!" in response to someone saying French was hard. She told me I was destined to fail in life, and that I'm a horrible person who doesn't know jack about French culture. She told me I was as bad as rapists and murderers. I told her she wasted $100,000 on her French major. Whatevs.

Actually, my Yik Yak arguments/troll attempts get quite heated. I definitely wouldn't want an adcom seeing them.

I still have nightmares about these 2:

Ice Bucket baseball: Pledge #1 stands in a trash can full of ice water and pledge #2 stands in one full of warm water. The #2 is asked an obscure trivia question every 60 seconds. Once he gets 3 in a row right, #2 goes into the cold water and #1 goes in the warm water and answer trivia questions for #2. Meanwhile Pledge #3 watches while eating a 3 lb bag of Habanero Sunflower seeds. The event ends when #3 finishes all 3 lbs of seeds.

Cucumber night: Every pledge is asked to bring a cucumber, condom, and lube to the event. They are then mercilessly questioned what they think the items are for until someone inevitably says that they're going to get "sodomized" or whatever the term is. The person in charge then freaks out and does the whole "what the heck is wrong with you?!?!?" thing. They go on a very long run with the cucumber in their pocket as punishment
 
One more:

Storage Wars: Pledges are stored in various cupboards and closets around the house for 24 hours, and 2 actives get to go pick up 2 pledges at random times and pit them against eachother in some contest (like drunk basketball or trivia). The winner is freed and has the day off, loser returns to storage to wait for another round. Everyone competes until only 1 pledge is left. The last pledge spends the remainder of the 24 hours standing in the front lawn saluting the fraternity flag.
 
Pretty stupid stuff, but the cucumber one is kind of funny because it doesn't actually involve physical abuse.
 
I agree, this thread has some lame ass secrets lol.

I had a friend who regularly used prostitutes during college (and as far as I know/guess, probably still does). There wasn't a lot of choice around town so he would make these trips to the large city nearby and get his fill. Funny thing is that he also had a lot of luck with the ladies at school anyway since he was well-built, fit, and quite a looker. According to him, being young and good-looking basically guaranteed good sessions when he "hobbied" since the chicks were all starved for enjoyable sex amongst the overwhelming middle-aged clientele. He's applying this cycle I think. Lives in LA now, he must've had hundreds of choices and spent boatloads of money over the past 2 years on hobbying :laugh:

I like how you bash everyone in this thread for having a "lame ass secret" and then tell someone else's secret because you don't have a good one of your own. 🙄
I'm actually a fluorescent butterfly.

Lol what do you expect? Most people don't frequent prostitutes, or kill people, or whatever...if people have a secret, most **** is just going to be mundane, but none-the-less problematic for admission if found out.

Like, I haven't cheated since first grade (on how to spell the word doctor, no less) so most stuff I may not want people to know are peculiar personal habits.
And mostly it's just weird enough to get a 😵.

Isn't that was every creep paying for sex wants to believe? That they're special and she enjoys it with him? I think there's just a tiny chance that he couldn't possibly be more wrong.

Yah that is why I tells the story
 
I mean, even prostitutes have basic prerequisites right? :naughty:

🙁 🙁 ah well. Props to avgn's friend (despite different target audience).

You know, I don't think I've met anyone who is truly, truly, ugly. I mean, definitely people I wasn't attracted to, but no one I'd recoil from.

I think there's someone out there for everyone.

*edit...not full truth, I just remembered a couple... there have been a few outliers. But, OVERALL, I think most people have a chance.

Hey take a chill pill k bye Felicia
 
But it should have involved more of you kicking him in the balls every day.
He wasn't a good friend, certainly not someone I cared about. It's not like he confided in me or anything. I found out accidentally. Apparently there are robust forums where people discuss post reviews 🤔 :scared: 😕 He left a browser window open and I peeked at the screen and asked lol. Haven't spoken to him in ages

Do you remember the address?

Ohemgee you are like, so cool. How about just not being rude in literally every thread you post in? Then you won't get called out lol duh.
making them feel like crap for making grammatical errors
But realtalk grammatical/spelling errors are unacceptable lol.

Truthfully, most secrets worth telling aren't going to be spilled to a random bunch of strangers on the internet. Hence why all my skeletons are staying buried on top of one another in an undisclosed closet in an abandoned house far, far from this thread.
 
I may or may not participated in a resistance movement in the Middle East considered by most foreign countries as a terrorist group.
 
Lol, you think that's bad? Clearly you went bottom tier
Never really understood why people were all proud to be members of frats. All this pledging **** is just some sad-ass attempt at a ceremony to carry you from childhood to adulthood, but it's run by a bunch of other children. Paying money to be treated like **** so you can treat other people like **** and then bond over having treated and been treated like **** is just plain ******ed.
the US military
I saw what you did there, switching it from US military to CIA. While the edit is clever (who likes the CIA?), the original post was pretty harsh man. Military dudes just be doin' their jobs.
