He just needs to be determined and keep pushing. Call the schools that rejected him and ask what would make his application look more acceptable to them. Or even call other schools, explain the situation and ask what they would want to see to make this applicant more appealing. If the school saw that what you saw, he got married and his grades went down, they might be concerned about his ability to keep up the fast-pace of medical school. His persistence in asking questions, applying and preparing will show he's ready and willing to make the sacrifices. GET ON THEIR NERVES until you have exausted every single opportunity. And then get creative and make more! Also, as much as he might hate it, he might consider taking more classes and raising his GPA. Perhaps working on a masters. If he is not already involved in any service/volunteering, he should start now. It might take some time, but he can still make it. Some day he'll be 45. He can either look back and say "I wish I would have...." or "I'm glad I took the time to..."
Good luck.
