[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know any MDs who steered their kid to a less selective school to “game” pre-med GPA or to save money. It’s something I’ve never heard anyone in real life doing or discussing — it’s internet forum busybody nonsense. I know MD kids who’ve gone to T15s to state schools to what people here would deem lower rung small private colleges — but that’s because that’s where their pre-med kid wanted to go. In fact, one young MD with an MD father transferred out of a T15 private and into a large state school (where dozens of her high school friends were at) and became a sorority girl and the whole nine. As I said, she’s now a young MD. There are many paths to medicine. I think on these forums people tend to overthink the room and complicate the process. A driven smart kid with MD parents is a shoo-in for medical school. The overwhelming majority of pre-med kids who are “weeded out” were unprepared for college and didn’t really want to be a doctor, they just liked the status pre-med and medicine conferred.[/quote]
