However, the parental restrictions are not just for the student claiming to do pre-med – the restriction is to a BS/MD program, which greatly restricts the choice of undergraduate schools (and greatly increases the chance of being shut out, since BS/MD programs are reach-for-everyone).

<p>You dont understand. the parents are saying BS/MD…OR…something else they approve…like engineering. So, choose an engineering area that the parents accept which allows a student to easily include the premed prereqs. No where on the transcript/grades does it need to say that the student is premed. she can join premed clubs and the parents dont need to know.</p>
