Just out of curiosity, would fathering a child out of wed-lock in ones teenage years hurt their chances of being accepted by a medical school?

Agreed. I wouldn't sweat it at Loyola or Georgetown. The administration plays up the Jesuit thing for the marketers (lotta Catholics out there) but I can't imagine your average adcom is a raging Catholic by necessity.Zoom-Zoom said:Only at Loma Linda, and only if you tell them.

Dr. Roket said:I am a single parent, had my daughter at 18. Don't hide it, don't apologize for it, play to it. Having a child teaches you things, show them what you've learned and if they have kids they'll understand. As for the possible moral disapproval, show them the responsibility and maturity one must have to raise a child, I think that far outweighs youthful (fill in the blank) but demonstrate it in your application somewhere.

that'd be one hell of an adcom meeting.Law2Doc said:Yes, if it was with an adcom's daughter.
NovemberWhiskey said:I don't know about that. If you don't tell them they will never know, but adcoms are generally made up of old men who likely don't approve of these types of things.
