<p>Sorry- but by the time they are accepted to medical school, that is up to THEM to show pride and brag. I think it is really over the top for you to have a license plate on your car about it! Also- I might mention that the young doctors are actually cautioned about identifying their cars as belonging to a “doctor”. People see dollar signs and have actually staged accidents with the doctor-identified car.</p>

<p>…the message that getting lots of attention creates problems?</p>
<p>The message that the only ones that get most of the attention are the ones that get into trouble is what I’m trying to say here.</p>
<p>

<p>Imagine their chagrin when they find out that it’s just the car of the MOM of a medical student…</p>
<p>Both my kids got those honor student bumper stickers every year from middle school on. We always just threw them in a drawer and forgot about them. But around here, everybody who gets one puts it on their car and makes a big deal out of it. One night coming out a band practice I heard someone ask my son why we didn’t have one on our car. His answer “Oh yes, I have them. It is just that I am smart enough to know that the indiscriminate boasting of one’s own accomplishments is tasteless.” Cracked me up.</p>
<p>The worst are the band signs. Son’s friend still has his on his yard, a year later. I’m like, Graduate already! He loved band so much, he was trying to jockey a way onto the annual Disney Band Trip after graduating.</p>
<p>I always wanted to meet the person who parked by my son’s school who displayed four different private college stickers on their back windshield. I figured they would be the person to ask for a loan, since they were so giving with their money.</p>
<p>The worst, though, is driving down Broadway, near Tulane’s campus, and seeing all those Harvard, Columbia, Dartmouth, and other Ivy and selective school stickies on their back windshields. What on God’s green earth possessed these obviously intelligent people to move to the armpit of America?</p>
<p>Come out to where the real people live, and most of the back windshields have the little boy peeing on the Ford or other rival car company emblem.</p>
<p>Good gosh.</p>
My daughter is in the Duke tip program and our magnet fell off my car when washing it…just trying to find out how to order another…lol funny but true if anyone knows that would be great Thanks!
