Prestige of Undergrad - for Med Schools (esp interested in hearing from Curm.)

<p>entomom,</p>

<p>Wish her well during the next 2 weeks.</p>

<p>In my child’s case, he happens to have one very heavy class this semester also - mostly because of the students in it, rather than the professor or the course materials. This class seems to be heavier than the cell bio he took years ago and gave him a lot of pressure (so many students in that class seems to be very good. Several of the students in that class seem to be destined to some top medical schools, if they could get a high MCAT score.)</p>

<p>For the cell bio, he could even skip the last two hourly quizzes without any adverse effect. I guess this was a kind of “pemed efficiency” game being played here – do not do extra work if it does not gain you any points :slight_smile: sad but true. He told us that there are much easier ways to fulfill the premed requirements just before the fall started , but then he decided to go for this class … Well… He has grown and this is his choice and he takes the responsibility for his decision. We as parents just need to prepare a lot of band-aids should the child falls.</p>
