[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In-laws, wife works part-time, husband is an MD. A super genuine and good family. They are upper middle class but I don't know if they're "rich." He's a first generation MD.

Their kids are great students and obsessed with becoming doctors like dad. [b]It's obvious they are one of those families that somehow grooms their kids to become doctors. [/b]The oldest is a senior and has a free 100% full scholarship on the table to a regional hometown private college where they live (not DMV). [/quote]

Or their kids are smart and hardworking and think medicine would be a rewarding career.

OP, you seem judgmental and intrusive, yet uninformed. Back off.

Also, as someone whose kid is at a local bargain institution, let me say that you tend to get what you pay for. Lots of parents are complaining about access to professors or quality of classes, and it grinds my gears. Low professor-student ratios cost money. Admit rates aren't everything, but a school that admits more than half of its applicants is widening its net by lowering its standards, so there's going to be a decrease in the quality of the average student. And those things affect the experience. [/quote]
