[quote=Anonymous]Your DD needs to talk to the medical school advisor at her school for a realistic opinion. Although it’s hard to believe, there are some colleges that have a medical school committee that has to recommend/approve the students who plan to apply to medical school. The MCAT is another deciding factor. PA and pharmacy schools are very competitive. This is why students opt for a direct entry program right out of high school. You need to be an RN before you can become a NP. Some students opt for post graduate work to raise their GPA. This means the expense of 2 more years of graduate school tuition without any guarantees. Other options could be podiatry school or optometry school. Good luck to your DD. This career choice is a journey and not for the faint of heart. Then, you throw in a pandemic 😷 My DS went to a SLAC known for hard work and grade deflation. He will complete his residency in a few months. I will say his education taught him to study and he did very well on the MCAT and subsequently, successful in his medical school boards.[/quote]
