Another thought–you don’t have to be a science major to go to medical school. Your nephew could take the minimum science requirements for med school application, and finish a major in another field. It seems unlikely that someone with your N’s high school record/scores could make it to med school, but I wouldn’t discourage him. He’ll find out soon enough what he can/can’t handle. Sometimes the other pre-med students are enough to scare people away–they can be quite a high stress bunch. His parents should just remind him how hard it will be and how hard he’ll have to work. And let him know they’re proud of him whatever major/career he chooses.
