I think that it is appropriate for universities to encourage students who think of themselves as premed to understand that most of them are going to end up needing to do something else. Midterm exams with class averages in the 40’s or 50’s might give a hint to some students how tough the path to medical school is. Premed advisors that are honest can provide another strong hint.
This is a challenging path. Academic strength is needed. A lot of work is needed. A high level of determination is needed.
Exactly.
