@WorryHurry411 Happy to know that you are asking the question at the right time of the student. The earlier the better for this program requirements. But make sure the student is interested in medicine career (than parents). Don’t have to discuss and get confirmation from student since it is too early for them. But ensure to expose to them to the various activities related to medicine and also get them involved in various science related activities (in 9th and 10th) so that they can get involved in some research during summer.
Just posted a new thread with to answer to your original question in a lighthearted manner. Please review.
