Honestly, this thread has surprised me in a good way. It's nice to see that people for once are actually being realistic. Unfortunately, I still feel that there is an enormous disconnect between the way the medical students in this thread feel than program directors and the rest of society.
For example, if this girl was applying for any job in corporate America, and she was investigated on Google and the pictures were found, do you think that she would still be given a job offer? If she were a pre-med (yes, think back to those amazing days), do you think that a medical school would still accept her after finding these photos?
I'm a firm believer of private lives having nothing to do with one's work life. Somehow people managed to do just fine back in the days before social media, yet today we hear about people being rejected from jobs or even medical school because of the dirt that's dug up on social networking sites. It's very stupid since applicants were doing these very same things, or worse, during the pre-social networking days.
Also, with the amount of anger that's directed toward sexting and revenge porn websites, I just don't think that program directors, or the school administration would look kindly toward this. Like everyone else, I agree that her abilities as a physician would not be affected by this. But, I'm surprised that everyone is forgetting society's views on this. If people were as accepting as we are in this thread, then no one would have problems with sexting, revenge porn, or any other forms of amateur porn. In fact, I'm sure many girls would do pornographic photo shoots if there were no stigma and because they money is very good.
It's baffling. Really, it is. 😕 Also society sucks.
