her (12:29:51 PM): i mean there are just so many angles to consider
me (12:30:02 PM): this NEEDS to be a movie script
her (12:30:08 PM): haha
me (12:30:29 PM): unbelievable
her (12:30:30 PM): i'll happily sit down and tell my story to a screen writer who's willing to listen
me (12:30:55 PM): truly remarkable
me (12:30:57 PM): you have such balls
me (12:31:13 PM): so you really don't want to be a doctor any more though?
her (12:31:23 PM): no...i REALLY dont want to be a doctor
me (12:31:33 PM): why
me (12:31:36 PM): you used to want to
her (12:32:21 PM): yeah i know...but i dont think i ever really did...u know it was so much easier to be in college and say that i was going to be a doctor, cause that got my parents off my back...i was just stupid and never thought it through
me (12:32:53 PM): i feel you
me (12:33:06 PM): so are you planning on showing this invitation to your parents?
her (12:33:19 PM): you know having been a pre-med, i just know that being a doctor would be a struggle for me for the rest of my life...law on the other hand, comes much more easily to me...just fits, u know
me (12:34:01 PM): ya, whatever suits you
me (12:34:18 PM): so if this application process falls through your parents are gonna be chill with the whole law school thing
her (12:34:22 PM): well no, not really, i've been lucky so far and they havent actually asked to see and of the letters or correspondence from schools...but they may be so excited at the prospect of an interview they may want to see it out of happiness or some ****
me (12:34:33 PM): ha
me (12:34:52 PM): a lot of schools call you for an interview
her (12:38:42 PM): i made sure i applied to mostly the best schools so when i got none or maybe one interview, it would believable
her (12:39:10 PM): not that i would have gotten any interviews at the worst schools either with my mcat score
her (12:39:40 PM): anyway, beside the point...so what schools call for an interview
me (12:40:23 PM): umm

Holy crap, i did the same thing when applying to undergrad. I screwed all my apps to ivy leagues and top schools (my interview at Penn was hilarious) to go to my state school. I'm guessing pulling this off for med school is alot harder, not to mention alot more expensive. I have a feeling her parents will find out, parents always have a way of doing that. Oh well, wish her good luck!

 

[Pontifex Maximus]

Why are some parents so f-ing pushy? She's wasting a TON of their money (I assume theirs anyway!) and just stringing them along to just knock them down with law school anyway. Why is she doing all this crap when she's gonna tell them sooner or later?

 

[Fermata]

Wow.

She's ******ed.

Why not just send me the cash?

 

[cfdavid]

dude, that's crazy.... lol

hey, mota, i like the arnold in rio video you posted. keep an eye out for my next avatar!!!

i dont think she plans on ever telling them. i think she could pull it off. her parents are foreigners.

i don't know, i think it could be pretty easy to fake, especially if she doesn't live that close to her parents. my only thought is that if her parents don't have a lot of money, it's not so nice since they seem to be paying for everything.

check out that mark hacking dude -- he faked going to undergrad, graduating from college (even made fake invitations and got "sick" at the last minute), taking the mcat, applying, interviewing and then getting accepted to med school. his dad was even a doctor, so yeah, it can be done.

so, she'll go to the fake interview and report back to her parents that it didn't go so well. then, she'll conveniently get rejected. she can tell her parents she was so bummed by the rejection letter that she threw it away as soon as she got it because she couldn't stand to look at it. come on, don't you think there are some fakers here, and it's actually harder to be consistent with the fakery on message boards than in real life because we've got the search function here.

 

[OddNath]

Remember the case of the woman, Lori Hacking, who was killed by her husband? That guy pretended to go to college, graduate (fake graduation invites and everything), apply to med school, and get in..and he was somehow going to try to pretend to actually go to med school (but he got caught by his wife when she called the school, and learned that he hadn't applied).

So, I guess what your friend is doing isn't nearly as bad. Ha.

[Doctor Bagel]

yeah, i think faking getting accepted is a lot harder than faking getting rejected. you just have to wonder what mark hacking was planning on doing once they got to north carolina.

 

[drmota]

don't worry. they're pretty loaded. but that 2 Gs could have gone to something much better, like 4 video ipods and 2 xbox 360s.

[Jon Davis]

I gave up reading a few lines into it. Kinda boring. I got the jist of it. Human nature is a weird thing. The greater pain would be to admit to her parents she wants law instead of losing the $$$. Interesting...

This guy was such a screwball. He had a hot girlfriend. Why don't these girls find me??? I'm genuine!!!

Forget that. Man, that's like half a pound of humboldt county's finest.

 

[Messerschmitts]

I don't understand, why does she need to "fake an interview invitation"? PLENTY of applicants don't get invited to any interviews each year. She could just say she didn't get an invitation, couldn't she? It would be an even faster way of "not getting into medical school".

And for that matter, why even bother actually paying and applying? My parents care very much about the application process, but they don't understand much of it (their English is very poor), and have never seen an application screen or a correspondence letter. They just take whatever I say on faith because they couldn't understand it anyway. Since I actually want to go to medical school, I tell it like it is, but no reason your friend couldn't just fake the entire thing "by mouth".

 

[hannahx]

wow. good thing i mentioned this is one of my good friends. sounds like you're gonna have great success with women in the future.

on a positive note, i guess its reassuring to know that not everyone who "applies" really goes through with it. even though this is a bizarre case i'm sure it happens.
-mota

Mota,

I feel for your friend about being pushed into something she doesn't really want to do. But to go through those lengths to keep up a facade? Wow, hope she finds a support network that will stick by her no matter what she chooses..

As for that Caesars0331 guy... Flamer that needs to be reported.

Also to the friend who is going to get a vacation out of her "interviewing experience". LOL

DaMota, posting pics of yourself and your personal conversations opens yourself up to insecure pre-med attacks. I thought you knew that.

To the people who get their jollies by attacking people, GET A LIFE. You're the #1 reason why I don't classify myself as a "pre-med".

DaMota, lemme guess: this girl is Persian, right?

I truly hope you don't go around posting patients histories like this when you become a doctor. Where is your sense of respect for a person's story. This happens to a lot of kids and it is psychological damaging, but one should not go around making fun of them and deliberately posting private conversations in public forums. They should close this thread.

 

[OddNath]

And how you talk to her about her situation is pathetic, too.

He seemed supportive and didn't judge, despite her weaknesses. We all get in stupid situations sometimes..and while this one is pretty ridiculous, he lent an ear, which is nice.

Mota, best of luck with your wacky friend!

 

[CerealBox]

Wow. I was here once. ....kind of
I dropped out of econ grad school but was too wimpy to tell my mom. Education is HUGE to her. and me "not liking it" would definitely not have been a good enough reason to drop out. but seriously, i knew at the beginning that 5+ years of school plus lifetime in econ was not for me.
But finally, a month or so later, I told her. And she was SO mad. she acted like the world was ending and that she had completely failed as a mother.

she got over it though. and she still loves me

hopefully your friend will just tell her parents. it feels better.

 

[red dot]

wow.

and money aside, i can't believe she went through with the mcat

 

[Phil Anthropist]

I didn't see a flame war coming for a thread like this! Closing due to personal attacks [mostly removed ], profanity, and requests I've received.
