“Don’t worry, folks. One day maybe your brain surgeon will be a product of this enablement and acquiescence.”
Speaking as someone with a child in medical school I can reassure you. The curriculum is very difficult, as it should be.
I have to agree but having a parent as an alum (who has donated to the university over the years since graduation) can also help gain entry to med school.
Staying in is, of course, another matter.
You’re right. I’m from a family of physicians and nurses, all of whom did not whine like babies because of the difficulty of a course. And as someone who HAD brain surgery, I was reassured to know my surgeon had survived the weeding-out process.
