Thread: Is the white coat ceremony mandatory?

The question is basically self explanatory. What happens if you don't attend?

You'll throw off the entire order of students who go on stage and you'll have a lot of unhappy school administrators.

If you don't have a legitimate reason not to, you really should go. It's actually worth listening to someone explain the significance of the journey you're about to partake in.

Why would you not attend?

I thought the white coat ceremony was very motivating. We were able to see and hear from students who made it through basic sciences & get helpful advice on how to succeed.

It's the one time when everyone in your class sits together in unity - it's your moment & I don't really understand why anyone wouldn't want to attend.

i learned why it is good to play flip cup, thanks to white coat.

Excellent example of valuable life information you can't find in any brs.

ADD: Another reason why you should attend is because you have already paid for it. Might as well go and enjoy the food.

I think the OP is referring to the ceremony, but I agree that you should also go to the party that night as well.

The reference WAS to the ceremony. Long story; speech gone wrong, didn't go over well.

Yes you should go to both, especially since I spent countless hours planning it. Enjoy it because its one of the most memorable events here at AUC

plus, its the first/last time you get to the see almost the entire school at a social event (i.e. getting wasted), which makes great saturday morning/afternoon talk...
