Crashing Med School

I just learned about this from a current med student.  Apparently, each year there are a few spots in every matriculating class where people simply don't show up to orientation.  If you show up with your pencils sharpened, notebook in hand you can likely go to the admissions office and say "I'm ready to learn".  This puts pressure off the admissions people because they have to fill several slots each time to get a full class, and the tuition associated with it.  This may not work so well with state schools, which are usually filled first, but with private med schools and DO schools this is often the case.

This seems like a good premise for a corny movie/novel ala "wedding crashers" or "weekend at Bernie's".
