[quote=Anonymous]To OP - I read what you posted about test scores and gpa and perhaps not cutting it. He’s confused and probably now knows (seeing his UNC classmates move forward) that this med school is not for him. So I would suggest taking advantage of unc’s career services office. They should be willing to administer a battery of career defining tests and then help him find a suitable job. Yes, he should have done that way before graduation but here you are! If that’s not possible I would pay for local vocational aptitude testing and counseling. It doesn’t sound like he’s ever going to apply to med school -which is fine! - but he needs some guidance right now and a year off doing nothing isn’t going to help. I’m sure you know that all of the medical school app process is gpa and test scores. It sounds like he may (?) not have either. He’s ashamed so you are going to have to open the conversation about where to go from here. UNC is a great school but he’s got to go back to them and ask for help. Fwiw some of my SLAC colleagues went med school in Grenada because they couldn’t get in anywhere in the states and regretted it[/quote]
