Getting Arrested Between Acceptance and Matriculation?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Well, I've been talking to my buddies, most of whom lived the stereotypical fratboy college experience, and we'll definitely be going on a spring break trip, though maybe not to Cancun. Still, expect a lot of drinking, drugs, parties, and house music. 🙂

My parents are fine with it too, though I left out some key details that may have changed their mind.

Hope it works out for you. I'd leave out the drugs, but to each their own.
 
If it involves stealing a chicken burrito then that should be viewed as an extracurricular.

Battleship anyone?
 
So for spring break, I'm probably going to Cancun with my boys to celebrate our last year together before we begin the rest of our lives. I told them straight up that I don't want to do anything illegal or dangerous. But you know how we are, and you can expect at least one person to do something patently ******ed, and possibly get themselves arrested or killed. Oh well, you only live once.

Anyways, I'm going to go ahead and assume that dead people cannot matriculate to medical school.

So I wanted to ask, if you get arrested and tried for a misdemeanor offense, can a medical school rescind your acceptance? I'm talking about stuff like soliciting a prostitute, possession of illegal substances, drunk and disorderly, driving under influence of intoxicants, etc.

Prostitution is legal in Cancun
Drunk and Disorderly is let go unless you're destroying property or physically harassing people
You don't need to worry about possession for the most part. But there is a lot of entrapment that happens over drug deals.
There is absolutely no reason to drive in Cancun. The bus is $1 and cabs are about $5

If you get arrested in Cancun, you have something more important to worry about than med school, and that's mexican jail. Contrary to what people believe, Cancun is Las Vegas, Mexico. The police there aren't like other mexican municipalities, and its likely you can't bribe yourself out of trouble.

Protip: Cancun for spring break sucks
 
Dude. You are totally going to be THAT GUY in lecture that has no filter, asks a million questions, makes lecture run 10-15 minutes late and pisses everyone off in your class.

There's still hope.

Don't be THAT GUY.
 
I have the funniest image of a bunch of nerdy pre-meds doing coke and banging prostitutes after reading this thread
 
What can possibly go wrong when a bunch of guys go on a trip, with alcohol, drugs, and sex on the brain?
 
There should be a movie about this. Do we really effing need a third Hangover?

(yes)

I saw a trailer for Hangover Part III. It's coming out this summer.
 
Also, one of the friends going on the trip has been cited for public defecation before. This will be interesting...

Best advice in this thread.

Cancun is very expensive, and it doesn't sound like youre the type that will enjoy that atmosphere (no offense).

Ignore all of the holier-than-thou SDN moral code enforcers. They are nauseating.

Out of curiosity, what type do you think I am? What kind of place would I enjoy?

Dude especially because your SDN handle is your real name. Be careful. You might want to delete this thread even....

Oh please...like ANYONE is going to get an acceptance rescinded because of impropriety on social media, linked to them by overuse of their real name. 🙄

I'm happy to see some people have the same before-med-school agenda out there. Sun and day drinking usually knock me out before any real trouble can happen.. But... It's not always sunny in Florida...

Doctors should be regular people. Have some fun before you understand what all the drugs, alcohol or excessive prostitute glitter do to your body. Do prostitutes use glitter?
 
Still waiting for that Mexican prison story guy to deliver. 😀

On SDN they aren't. 🙄

Drugs are bad for you.

All your threads are amusing/is he for real...

When I was last down in Mexico a few weeks ago I passed by a man with a tattooed face marketing "drugs, bitches, ecstasy, coke, and anything you need." When you an your buddies are down there, just find the tattooed face guy and follow him upstairs - I'm sure he has all of those things.
 
I've been driving no more than 20 over the speed limit out of fear of being charged with reckless driving.
