There are some things you can do that will destroy your chances of getting into medical school.
Consider this list WHAT NOT TO DO:
Do not copy from someone else’s paper.
Do not let others copy from your paper.
Do not change a grade on an test, exam or quiz and submit it for regrading.
Do not share lab reports or lab notes with others.
Do not share old tests with others.
Do not collaborate on lab reports, term papers, or take home exams, unless you have something in writing from your instructor stating that this is permitted.
Do not use unauthorized material in completing homework assignments or take home exams. Don’t obtain teacher’s or desk copies of textbooks. Don’t use Google for help with problem sets or to find problems and solutions.
Do not plagiarize. Cite any material you use in a term paper. This means putting material from other sources in quotation marks with a citation indicating the source of the material. If you use an idea but not the exact words, cite the source of the idea. If you don’t know how to cite material, ask your professor for help in learning this valuable skill.
Do not sell or give your prescription medication to anyone else.
Do not use prescription medications that have been prescribed for someone else. In particular, do not use medications for ADHD that were not prescribed for you by a licensed physician.
Do not put yourself in a situation where you can be accused of domestic violence.
Don’t have sex with someone who is drunk or high.
Do not Drive Under the Influence.
Do not urinate in an alley (or in any public place) in any states where that act will get you listed on the Sex Offender Registry. (California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Michigan, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut.)
Do not give your clicker to someone else to use.
Do not use someone else’s clicker.
Do not have someone else sign you in for attendance.
Don’t let friends with marijuana (or any other drugs for that matter) into your car if it isn’t legal in your state. You will often get charged with possession even if the drugs aren’t yours, and that’s a tough misdemeanor to explain without coming off like you’ve either got terrible decision making skills or are trying to make excuses.
Do not use a “falsie” or fake ID to purchase liquor or prove age at a bar.
[Never give a false name or fake ID to a police or security officer.
