[quote=Anonymous]OP here. 
Thanks for the comments. He feels that the teachers at his current college are very passive and lecture what’s already  in the textbook. 
  Labs have been a problem since there is no help. Once he got so frustrated that I had to ask a co-worker’s husband who works at NIH to help him out. It turns out that there was a specific way of conducting that particular experiment that the teacher never bothered to mention— however told the students that if they were unable to identify all the bacteria correctly after 3 attempts, the grade for the experiment will be an automatic “F”. 
He said that  at UDC, students were all helping each other  and the professor was present and actively guiding them. 
At his current school, he does not feel he is getting prepared for the MCAT. I do not agree with the poster who claims a minimum GPA  of 3.7 is needed for med school admissions. That’s not necessarily true especially if the MCAT score is high and the student has considerable research and other related work experiences. I know several people who have graduated from “lower level” institutions (including DO schools)  and have turned out to be very competent physicians. [/quote]
