[quote=Anonymous]OP I think it's 100% fine to say you won't fund his gap year. He can live at home and commute the 20 min to school if he's with a lab etc. there, or if he wants to stay at school, he makes sure his jobs pay the rent and food and whatever other bills you've decided an adult should cover. Other than that though I'd leave this gap year thing alone. Trust that he knows how the process works and thinks he needs this year to up his application, so leave him to it. Reality is if you talk him out of this and he applies/gets denied or just moves on from this med dream because he doesn't think he can't get in NOW, then it'll forever be - I wanted to be a doctor but my parents talked me out of it, so now I'm stuck doing whatever my second choice thing is. Why crush his dream? If he isn't good enough, the med schools will crush it but at least he'll know for sure that he tried his best.[/quote]
