Here's a scenario: During the adjustment to medical school in the first semester, a student failed the first few molecular and anatomy tests as s/he learned how to study. S/he is also interested in pursuing competitive specialties. Which of the following two options would you advise?
(1) Encourage the student to continue making As/Bs on the remainder of the tests to pass with two Cs and to try to compensate for those Cs with good grades throughout the remainder of medical school.
(2) Encourage the student to take the dean's offer to withdraw without penalty, taking a W on the transcript, and returning next year, pulling off the As/Bs the student believes s/he is capable of making.
(3) Other, please specify.
