Did he get the scholarship?

I agree and this was always a gripe of mine as well that they hinted @ him getting it. While it gives him a certain type of "life experience", it doesn't carry over into the world of medicine and doesn't exactly scream integrity does it?

The guy sure looked dazzled.


When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.

Counting cards isnt scamming or even cheating. Its skilled play. Hiding money from the IRS is illegal, but I wouldn't call it immoral.

I think the "dazzle me" scenes were unnecessary. Filmmaker used them as bookends, but they seem detached from the main story.

I think Ben had him until he summised "I scored the hottest girl in school", and I think that's the reason for the admissions guy's jaw dropped reaction - as if to say "what are you, 15?!", or "are you a top-of-you-class MIT scholar or a caveman"
Between that and Josh Gad and his friend rating girls out of 10, plus the whitewashing, it's fair to say this hasn't aged well.
