I do not see anything as “gaming the sytem”, even if one sabotage others’ efforts by stealing their work (which has happened to my D. in college). Everybody is just putting the best effort and those who cheat will get pusnished at the end, no need to waste your time and nerves on them. As long as it is OK with Med. Schools, do not listen to anybody calling names. Your only concern is Med. School application and absolutely NOTHING else. Sorry, I cannot help you with that, although my D. has gone thru the process. She did not have similar experience and we never felt bad about spending money on whatever her heard desired, private HS, trips abroad (to have fun and learn, not to have edge over somebody else), Kaplan MCAT prep. course, sorority, prestigous honors societies fees or whatever. We did not feel bad about all of that, we felt that she deserved it because of her hard work. And you should not feel bad about stuff like this either, be proud and do not listen to others who do not wish you best. I do wish your child the brightest future that he deserved!
