[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Med school and residency is a slog. I’d be happy both for him to start not but t out and to have more clinical experience before he goes ahead snd starts down this grueling snd expensive path. [/quote]

I got the same impression from this post - is it possible that OP's DS is just trying to slow this road down because he knows once it starts, there's no way to take a year off? I mean once he starts med school, it's 4 yrs of that, then rolling right into internship and residency and even the shortest possible internship/residency will be 3-4 years total. He may be looking at the slog of 7-8 years and thinking this is his last chance to chill. Or maybe he's reconsidering and doesn't want to say yet; it's quite possible that in 12 months he decides not to apply at all because when he's back on campus as a senior, he goes through on campus recruiting and picks up a business type of job (not necessarily McKinsey but any 40 hr/wk job that college grads take).[/quote]
