Medical School United States DO Question

If someone hypothetically cheated through their entire undergraduate degree and managed to get into medical school without taking the MCAT, is it possible for them to successfully complete medical school if they decide to work hard and dedicate themselves studying and memorizing like biochemistry and other rigorous courses?

It would be better to ask on a US medical schools forum. Perhaps ask about people who attend Caribbean schools who have weak MCAT scores?

I think the premise is really absurd enough to render the question moot.

Also I've moved your thread to the international study forum - the medicine forums are for queries about UK medicine and medical degrees.

Hey, so the direct answer to your question is people do cheat through medical school but they are ALWAYS caught. A recent case was Zolia Alemi, a NZ national who failed med school but worked as a clinical psychologist for years in the UK by lying on her CV. She was caught during a routine degree check from the UK medical authorities. Don't do it, she's now in jail.

People do cheat in medical degrees but they are ALWAYS caught. A recent high profile example in the UK was NZ national "Dr" Zolia Alemi, who failed med school in new Zealand but successfully lied in her CV and worked for ten years in the UK as a clinical psychologist. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-64797676.amp

She was caught during a routine check of staffs degrees by the UK medical authorities. Don't do it, she is now in jail for fraud and for a long time.
