ontheinside Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 You know what bothers me, is that I went through my undergrad with someone who cheated in almost at everything and now is trying to get into med school. I am just hoping that his/her references picked up on it and that this third time round will not be a charm! People work so hard to get to where they want to go, it's a shame to see undeserving people get ahead and become the examples for other aspiring students! Anyway I wish that there was someway med school applications would/could incorporate character traits into their applications and could communicate with more personal references. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaM Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 At any of the times he or she cheated in the past gone to someone in a position of authority and voiced your suspicions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monopoly Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah tell me about it. During the UBC app cycle, a guy I knew from undergrad wanted me to send him my auto-essay for "ideas", and also wanted me to verify a non-existent activity for him. Needless to say I told him to **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneticist Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wouldn't cheating be subjective in some regards? I mean, having a template to write your auto-essay would not necessarily be cheating if there was no plagarism or stealing of ideas. Of course, it is more honorable to do it yourself, but it would just be a waste of time without any general direction. Otherwise, would it be unfair that some students can pay for courses that assists you in applying for med school or preping for the MCAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
