If you get this question during the interview, but you have never made any ethical decision that "changed" you life, what would you say?

I would tell the interviewers that the cashiers in supermarkets often mistakenly give me extra changes, and I always inform them the mistakes and return the extra changes.

I have no idea how I would answer this question. I don't think I have ever had to make a "major" ethical decision. I've done stuff like turn wallets/purses in to lost and found but I mean... what are they looking for? I think litldime had it right with cheating. I was at the Midwestern open house and they mentioned they might ask you this with regards to cheating at the interview. They say cheating is becoming (probably always has been) a problem. I have dentist friends who said there was alot of cheating going on while they were in school. They said it was worse than undergrad. Kind of scary.

I am sure most of us have lied or cheated at some points of our life. Did you guys actually mention the cheating incidents that you involved in during the interview?

I think by cheating he meant reporting an incident, not actually committing it...maybe?

Anyone else mind sharing how they might answer this?

I cannot think of an answer other then some girl trying to persuade me to not run against her for president of the bio honors society. I feel like they will roll their eyes if I talk to them about some experiance with cheating or something. Hard questions.

When I was younger I had many opportunities trade my brother bad pokemon cards for his good ones but I decided not to even though I could have gotten a Charizard and totally won all of my battles for simply trading 5-6 common pokemon cards.

LMBO!!!!! that's friggin' hilarious.

....guilty.
