What is wrong with you people???? The kid is talking about lying to his parents about his mcat score because he's embarrassed. It's not exactly the crime of the century.IMO, and I am nowhere near an adcom, the lie is a bigger deal than the MCAT.
It's too bad that admissions committees don't have a magical machine to see how applicants perform under stress and under what degree they start to consider compromising their own ethics.
Some of you say getting a 16 on the mcat doesn't mean you'll be a bad doctor (imo it means you're dumb as a rock, and that does correlate w/ being a bad doctor), but does lying to your parents about your mcat mean you'll be a terrible physician???
When I was in high school I lied to my parents all the time about drinking, does this mean I shouldn't be allowed into med school??? The lie is a bigger deal than the mcat? What world do you live in???
