[quote=Anonymous]OP here - I don't have a back up plan for him. DH and I are both not in science, so I'm not even sure what the back ups in science are. My original back up plan for him when he was in HS and looking at colleges was to do engineering - either biomedical or other because my understanding was that with an engineering degree you can get your pre reqs done to apply to med school. Yet you have an exit - should you not apply, not get in, change your mind etc. [not to say the road wouldn't be bumpy if you've been spending summers shadowing rather than being an engineering intern but ultimately you could get on track having an engineering degree in hand]. That idea was summarily rejected as DS told us he knew what he was doing and pursed a bio undergrad.

The only back up plan that comes to mind now - were he not to apply or not get in - pick up a corporate job, anyplace you can, do that for 2-3 years and go get an MBA and start your career.

DS's back up plan - well he thinks he's getting in . . . .[/quote]
