Reasons to lose an acceptance

[SadAsian]

Advertisement - Members don't see this ad

After you gain an acceptance somewhere, is there any reason a medical school can rescind your acceptance besides (1) failure to meet prerequisites or (2) misdemeanor/felony/drugs/etc.

..... As in can they review the accepted students’ profiles at some point before matriculation and be like ‘ehhhh on second thought, not enough clinical hours, let’s take that acceptance back’ or ‘your letters of rec aren’t as good as we thought they were’ or ‘your undergrad gpa actually kinda sucks a little bit’


I know I’m reaching a whole different level of neuroticism but I am actually wondering. I think I’m feeling this way because I was conditionally accepted to USUHS last year and then in March did not pass the medical clearance. I apologize in advance for the eye rolls, if there are any.

Lying on the application will do it.

This includes sins of omission, not just commission.

Getting arrested for something serious.

This is a true story: posting offensive material on social media (yes, Admission deans check on your social media)

Not fulling prereqs in time

USUHS is a totally different animal. Not only do you neee to be fit for med school but military service too. So don’t stress about your current acceptance.

That doesn’t apply to any other school. Just don’t fail any classes or do anything stupid like getting arrested and you’ll be fine.

Neuroticism in full swing already.

Don't worry about it, unless you've engaged in behavior that would get you kicked out and they don't know about it already.

1) Also, (besides those mentioned above) low grades on your final required transcript from the recent year's academic cycle that weren't on the original application (which does not result in a GPA recalculation, BTW).

2) No, these examples won't happen.

What are the most common lies adcoms come across? I wish more of them would thoroughly check activities given the amount of BS I've seen people put down

This year's most common lies were from re-applicants who were a different race in their last application.

Jesus, are people really that stupid to think adcoms won't see that -_-

Apparently so.

Well it is 2019 (almost), I guess they're free to identify as whatever race they choose 😳

Dont forget IAs, such as cheating or plagarism

Hey. It worked to get Vijay Jojo Chokal-Ingam into medical school. So sometimes, fraudsters slip through. Although these ones that are getting caught seem to be fairly poor-quality fraudsters.

I have a whole file of them this year.
It used to be rare.

Very interesting. I wonder if there’s some common denominator, like a YouTube video or something

...or one of those "advisers" you pay for. This is a vulnerable population. I could easily see how they might be buffaloed.

Maybe they did Ancestry DNA 😀

No lie. I'm extremely white but had a family member seriously tell me I should have genetic testing done in case I'm partially Native American, because it might help on apps. (didn't happen)

Lol I know this. I’m just saying I’ve had the feeling of an acceptance taken away from me. I knew it was possible, but it wasn’t fun. Not sure if I could tolerate that heartbreak again lol. Luckily, I’ve already graduated from college, I didn’t lie on my app, not engaging in stupid behavior, and there doesn’t seem to be any sign that adcoms re-review current applications.

Thanks for the input @everyone. Didn’t mean to open the discussion to race lol.

I mean, tbf that was conditional on you passing your physical. It wasn't a full acceptance. Your acceptance to a civilian school is only contingent on you not failing anything or acting like a dick bag. That's a pretty low bar to meet lol.

Lol again, I know this. Doesn’t mean I wasn’t upset that a distant history of knee injury kept me from my dream school.

Here's a reason you can get fired from residency:
Medical resident in Cleveland fired for antisemitic social media posts

Can’t wait for someone to find her new account where she blames us “yahood” for getting fired.
