[quote=Anonymous]DH is a math professor; many students who are premed or prenursing fail due to not being able to pass the math, anatomy, and chemistry requirements. They are not well prepared, don't realize how much science is involved in medicine (!) and sometimes unwilling put in the hours of work each week for each class. Some of the poorer students are also trying to work a lot of hours to support themselves, and don't have the time to do the work in the harder courses to make the grades they need. And may not be as well prepared. One of his students could not score well enough on the MCAT and his grades were not good enough to get into med school - he had spent 4 years in a frat. After he graduated, he moved out of the frat, came back and took a years work of STEM classes, and studied constantly for the GRE. He made it into med school. Have no doubt he will be a great doctor.
