Sorry for such a long post, but I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts.
Earlier, I posted a thread about how I met a guy at my college who was 16, a junior, and planning on going to medical school. He's really nice and humble and kind of suave. Well, I ran into him again, and we got to some talking about his chances of getting into medical schools and pretty much disagreed on everything. I thought that with his age, some extracurriculars, his near perfect gpa, and his 32 MCAT (he thought this score was really bad but is too lazy to retake the test and for a minute I wanted to strangle him! i hope i could break 30), he would have a great chance at almost any medical school and especially at some top 20 schools since he is also interested in research. He argued that, at best, he would have only an equal chance of getting into medical schools as other people of about the same stats, if not a tougher time, since, he argued, that with his age, the adcoms may expect much more exceptional stats. If he would have a tough time getting into medical school, I shudder to think of my chances. What do you guys think?
