<p>I think the elephant in the living room is…</p>
<p>Why are his grades so low? If that GPA is the result of 4 years of “so so” grades, then the question is…why does he think he “has what it takes” to become a physician? </p>
<p>Something just doesn’t seem right with me. It’s one thing to take a GPA hit because one year a person had some odd issue…but when someone wants to be a doctor and spends 4 years at a good college and emerges with a 2.9 GPA, then the question a person should be asking himself is…Am I smart enough or dedicated enough for this career choice? </p>
<p>Is his goal to become a doctor something that your family expects of him regardless of his abilities and real desire? </p>
<p>*He is not a URM, he is Asian. The rest of his application is not very strong… maybe average.</p>
<p>My parents are very worried *</p>
