Hey guys,
Why do med schools care if either of your parents is a physician? Does it hurt or help you?

according to people who i know that work on the adcom or have previously worked on an adcom.. the reason for that question is because individuals with parents as physicians are supposed to know the lifestyle and be more educated about becoming a physician..
in fact.. almost all our students in the bac/md program have a parent or two that are physicians..
imho.. that's a bunch of bull..

Haha... SC B/MD is loaded with people with doctors as parents. Most of my friends' parents aren't tho... but I know of a lot... And... yes, I don't really think preference should be given to kids of doctors.

Let us hope that the adcoms give equal preference to each applicant,regardless if your parent(s) was (were) a doctor or not. Otherwise,something about this is truly disturbing.
