<p>OK - I acknowledge the odds are better than 1,000 to 1 for the final med school applicants, vs. the numbers who start out as premed. (You know what they say about lawyers - if we could do math, we would have become doctors.) In my right-brained legal world, though, 54 or 44 or 34 to 1 still seems like lousy odds for applicants. </p>
<p>One of my kids is planning on applying to med school after finishing an advanced degree in a health care field, so I’m actually rooting for the dreamers.</p>
