The free webinar, watch anytime
In one honest hour, see whether BS/MD is right for your student, and exactly how a committee will read them
The full recording of An Honest Take, from the reviewer’s side of the table. I am a practicing physician and a former Assistant Dean at Brown’s PLME. Nothing to buy to watch it, and no pitch at the end.
Press play. It is free, and there is no email wall.
What this hour gives you
- A straight answer to the question under all the others: is this path genuinely right for your student, or is it the wrong fit dressed up as a shortcut.
- The three requirement sets families confuse: getting in, keeping the seat, and the traditional route. Tell them apart and you stop comparing the wrong numbers.
- How an admissions committee reads a file, so you can look at your own student the way a reviewer will.
- The honest odds, without the manufactured 98 percent the marketing runs on.
A BS/MD decision costs a year of a student’s life and a large sum of money, and it is largely irreversible once it is made. Most families make it on what a forum told them. One honest hour is the cheapest insurance there is on a bet that size.
Who it is for
The parent and the student together, early enough that there is still time to act on what you learn. It is not a way to game a gatekeeper, and I will not pretend it is. If your student is not ready, this hour will tell you that too, plainly.
Why trust this one
I read files from the reviewer’s side of the table, and I practice medicine today. That is a different seat from a consultant selling hope, or a recent graduate telling you how they got in. No guarantees, no inflated numbers. Just what I would tell a colleague asking about their own kid.
When you want a read of your own student
The webinar is the general case. When you want a physician’s judgment on your student in particular, that is the paid work: a program-by-program read in the Match, or the full assessment in a Second Opinion. Most families watch this, act on it, and never need more. See how the help is sized →
