The comment that you were told to not even consider Hopkins made me laugh. Do you have any idea how competitive a field medical research is? The competition for grants is fierce. If you son is not competitive–perhaps he should consider another field.



Well… the quote came from a researcher currently working in the field… so I suppose you can laugh if you want, but we’ll take it seriously. I think he gave us a pretty good explanation of the difference in cultures that exist at schools. He’s the one who told us to look around in order to match the student with the correct school. (Plus, he said not to consider them for undergrad. Grad school is a whole different deal.)
