[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think we should keep this post focused on solutions and positive stories. Those doubting my child's stats are taking away from posts that can be productive for me and others. My child isn't special or better than your child, I know that. My child worked hard, did well, and wants to see their results realized. [/quote]

One solution is to really dig into what it takes to get into med school. Ask anybody you know who had a kid in med school. What were that child’s stats in high school? Pay special attention to class rank. I don’t know the current med school trends, which is why I’m asking. I just remember a time of “premeds” who changed their mind after first year. It would be such a shame for your child to go to the safety, only to choose a different, but still amazing path.[/quote]

This X10000. It’s extremely competitive now for GPA ( perfect 4.0) MCAT, research and shadowing.  Your child isn’t likely to be the valedictorian of Salisbury or Towson but they will be up against kids with those stats from more competitive schools and schools with much more research and shadowing opportunities.
