I know this story and everything associated with it, is making a lot of the premeds here upset. Kone said that 10% of a med school class haven’t taken the MCAT. Thats false, the only students who dont take the MCAT are people in accelerated BA/BS-MD programs. As for UF, they have 12 every year from the Junior Honors Medical program. People are upset because he was rejected by the ADCOM’s twice: 1st from junior honors and 2nd from regular admissions. He did not take the MCAT. He applied (Feb…) after the deadline (Jan 15). Plus he has way too much political connection to kone and etc (his dad raised $15,000 for Crist run for gov.). If I were him I would be embarrassed to start next year, esp with your name (Ben Mendelsohn) all over the newspapers.
