Just a question - if you’re a parent, why are you doing all this research? BS/MD programs specifically are for extremely hardworking and motivated students. If your child can’t even do this research for him/herself, they’re not a good candidate for one of these programs.
The students in my BS/MD class who were pushed into it by their parents quickly realized that they weren’t cut out for the work because they didn’t have the passion for it that others of us did.
