That’s a very good point, and perhaps the decision will be made for us. I hate to admit this, but I almost hope that is the case. I think the toughest call will be if he got into UPenn because that is really the only Ivy that is known for bme. You are also right about the interviews being more informational in nature. He did ask the alum from UPenn (a doctor who did not go to Ivy for medical school) “What was the benefit of going to Ivy League undergraduate?” He responded, “I didn’t do very well on my MCATS but because I went to UPenn I got in.” Personally, I don’t think that’s a very convincing response.
