Is it possible that they might have accidently added a faculty application question to the med school secondary app?

LMAO
I hardly think every med school applicant is a Nobel Laureate, if any. It appears as if a.) they sent you a faculty application or b.) they're trying to throw you a curve ball secondary just to see how you handle difficult questions. It's actually kind of funny because it's getting to the point you almost need a nobel prize to get into med school. I would LMAO if I ever got a question like this.

i have spent the majority of my life in small african villages trying to save children. Also, I have been working on health policy issues that many developing nations currently face. In my spare time, I have been working on a cure for cancer and AIDS. Although these obstacles may seem trivial to you, I feel that I have learned a lot from these experiences...so f-ck off.

I have two Nobel prizes; one in chemistry and one in medicine. I just left that particular field blank. As far as not having a Nobel prize, I think you're gonna be in trouble for medical school. Nobel prizes aren't difficult to get these days, and not having one is a sure sign of laziness. If you have a score of 44 or better on your MCAT, you might have a shot. If not, consider the Caribbean, but make sure to PLEAD your case to them, and say that not having a Nobel prize was a fluke, and you'll make it up by getting at least four in medical school.

Damn. Harvard was on my list too. I currently have zero Nobel prizes but have been nominated for five. Do you think they will understand? Some years the competition is jst fierce. It's not my fault. Anyone else in the same boat?!

Yah, I was nominated last year but some events led to my not winning... long story short, I got drunk and ended up taking the underaged daughter of the prize committee head home to her house. Talk about awkward. Anyway, do you think if I explain my situation in a letter they'll understand? I'm pretty 60% sure I had a 95% chance of winning it before my unfortunate chain of events transpired.

Harvard hasn't accepted any students from my institution (Vanderbilt) in many years according to my premed office. I think it's because Vanderbilt said it's the Harvard of the south or some such balogna. I wouldn't be surprised that by the time we have children and they are looking to get into medical school, they will have to be pseudo-Nobel laureates or groomed from birth for the practice of medicine.
