    Anecdote from a former colleague whose kid went to UT.  The kid said that, if he had to do it again, he'd have considered going to a slightly less prestigious university for undergrad, crushed the GPA, and spent more time preparing for the MCAT.  That said, he graduated w/ high honors from UT and went to UT Southwestern before specializing.

    EDITED to add: IIRC the med schools are now taking the rigor of the undergrad university into account.  Something like Lamar (~400 nationally) or McNeese (unranked) might lack rigor for serious consideration to a top med school, regardless of GPA.

    My kid is currently killing it at ou in BioChem GPA wise and is currently drilling for the MCAT.

    This guy had a small problem and let it escalate to a big problem

     

    Years ago, I had a boss that was having a fling with a 22 year old stripper. He was 51 at the time. As their relationship grew the stripper demanded more time and a divorce. Eventually she started calling him in the evening on his work and personal phone in the evenings.

    I told him, this is going to end with you strangling a stripper in the woods and you will end up in prison. Figure out how to cut this off. He eventually gave her money to move out the state.

    Given that we're approximately the same age, what was the FCA bullshit?  It was really a student club, faculty sponsor was a coach, so it was kind of a nothing at my HS, but most of the jocks dabbled in it.

    YL was sponsored mostly out of a PCUSA church, so it was pretty milktoast, too.  It was only later that I learned it had some darkish fundagelical origins and undertones.

    When I was in high school FCA was run by our head football coach and it was voluntary participation that was mandatory.

    It didn't last long because our coach was a meat head and was probably unfamiliar with the bible. During the first meeting he tried to teach John 3:16 and it was hilarious.

    Coach asked our starting nose guard what God's love meant but the NG was a mongo and replied "I  don't know coach, I don't love people." Our coach then tried to explain God's love but Mongo kept replying about fucking people up. lulz 

    Several weeks later coach told us during practice, "let's set that FCA stuff aside for a moment" then proceeded to cuss everyone out in profanity we never heard before. That was the end of our FCA group. 

    We also had Young Life but that was for scoring the cheerleaders.

    That’s not a fair comparison.   Alabama and Texas are both full members of the SEC.

    Miami is a full member of the ACC while ND is just a partial member. 

    Exactly, ND treats the ACC like a side piece then gets offended when the ACC keeps their status as single on social media.
