I'm getting really nervous, do you think ADCOM has a sense of humor?

To the OP:

Did you also include that you spend 5.816 hours a day playing "Magic" and "Dungeons and Dragons?"
What about the black trench coats and black hair?
You might want to create an AMCAS adendum for those items as well.

OH The Skulls!! You mean the drama about the elite fraternity at an Ivy league School directed by Rob Cohen and starring up and coming actors Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker.


Never heard of it.

Back in high school, me and my friends made up this organization as a joke called S.O.O.C. . It stands for SECRET ORDER OF THE CATERPILLAR. It's not a real organization, we made it up to put on all of our applications for stuff. When we applied to colleges, we put S.O.O.C. as an extra curricular activity. We always put 5.816 hours per week, since 5.816 is the perfect number. I got accepted to all the colleges, but I only really applied to tier 2 undergrads. I put S.O.O.C. down when I applied for national honors society, part-time jobs; its even listed in the activities section next to our pictures in the high school yearbook. I also put S.O.O.C. on my med school application....for my Title i put "cracking chrysalis", since i'm second in command. For contact, i put one of my friends and his title is "head monarch". of course, i put 5.816 hours per week. For description I put something like "due to the secret nature of the secret order of the caterpillar, i am barred from ever revealing the secrets that lie within our secret organization. If I or one of my fellow Lepidopteras were to ever reveal said secrets, we would thus have to change our name to the "Not So Secret Order of the Caterpillar".

Was my med-school application not the place for this kind of sillyness? i'm nervous they'll immediately garbage my applications when they see this nonsense. Everything else on my application was truthful and serious. (GPA=3.7, sci=3.6, mcat=31P)

Did you read that Barron's personal statement book too dude? 👍

Yes indeed! 😀 It was worth it for those little gems.

if i were an adcom member, i would seriously question your maturity. there is a time and place for being silly and funny, but posting something in your application as a joke is inappropriate.

This is probably a joke post, but if you really did put that in your application, you are screwed. The AMCAS will of course investigate without a doubt due to the funny name. Once AMCAS find out you lied (which you did), the organization will inform your college. Your college will then revoke your degree because you got in on false information. Dude, are you kidding around?

Oh, you think it is "probably" a joke post, eh?

Man, sacrament, those theories just keep being proven. Being gullible is one thing, but believing someone after they tell you they are lying is just down right stupid!(no offense shatter)

IMHO, at best, your attempt at humor will spawn some confused smiles from adcom members. At worst, ppl will think you are weird and won't take you as seriously. It's not as if they were borderline on your application until they saw your description of the S.O.O.C. and were so blown away that they just had to meet you in person. I can just picture some conservative older gentleman reading your application and wondering what kind of whippersnappers they're letting into medical school nowadays.

And what ever happened to the threads that SWORE that the adcoms didn't read the AMCAS application. Can't do anything about it now, thanks for sharing that funny story.

Maybe if it was actually funny adcoms would like it, but this is ridiculous and eccentric. i don't want to work with a nerd
