Fake Medical Student Attended Auckland University For Two Years Before Professors Found Out
That’s the situation at the University of Auckland Medical School in New Zealand, where officials recently learned a student had applied for admission in 2010, been denied, yet attended classes for the last 2 years anyway.
According to the Otago Daily Times, the unnamed male attended med-school classesand labs at the university and interacted with patients. While in the hospital, he used a fake student doctor ID badge to blend in.
“Because of the size of the medical class, and by not submitting assessments or sitting tests, the individual was able to deceive classmates and teachers. Ultimately the presence of this person was detected when an assignment was submitted that did not match any name on the class list.”
Wow. That’s pretty impressive. Person may have attended, but I wonder how much was actually learned? Why didn’t he try to get in subsequent years? I think it’d be impressive if he actually took the tests and blew everyone away. But from the information we’re given in the article, he was kind of living in a fantasy world. :/ All the best in his future endeavors.
