Man these stories are hilarious. Kinda makes me wonder how many of these "weird" kids get past their interviews and actually end up in med school? I just can't see how an awkward kid that's annoying and thinks too much of himself would do well in an interview.

In addition to good grades (outstanding, actually) and being all 'round badasses, we're also quite good at pretending to be normal when necessary.

im in ur med skoolz, takin ur seats

This kid in my upper level neuroscience class wanted to write our extra-credit paper (supposed to be about a movie/news piece very oriented towards the nervous system) and he asked if he could write it on Avatar.

"Professor, have you seen the movie Avatar? I've seen it 3 times already! I think it's really great and would love to write my paper on it!"

This kind of scares me because I don't see what's wrong with that... Honestly if I had to write a paper on CNS then doing on about Avatar sounds kind of fun

its call pretending for 20 mins or so, won't be too hard.

Yeah, but considering that these people have been interviewing candidates for many years it would be easier to recognize someone who's faking it. Oh well, I guess sometimes you get good liars like that Craigslist killer who fooled his interviewer into getting in BU med. I bet the interviewer must feel pretty dumb for missing that one.

In my orientation, we were also divided into groups based on major. I am molecular bio major, but I didn't tell anyone I'm pre-med. There were a couple of people who had an idea what they were doing, one was biochem, other was human anatomy, but there was one chick and guy that were a bit delusional.

The guy kept saying he is majoring in pre-med, and our advisor said u have to pick a major, so he said I know, I'm doing pre-med, it took him about 10 mins to realize pre-med is a path not a major.

The girl was a bit funnier because I was sitting right next to her. She was telling me how she is majoring in bio and was completely confident that she is going to medical school at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. I asked her wat specialty she was interested in and she told me psychiatry. I said why?, "oh because I don't like blood and I don't want to cut people open or do any procedures involving needles. Also, I think it will be really easy to get into a psychiatry program because its not as hard as other specialties and you get paid a lot to sit in a chair all day."

Never talked to her again....
