  Your parents have questions. We have answers. Love Thy Parents is a series dedicated to all the fathers and mothers out there. Applying to medical school can be confusing for applicants themselves; how do you think parents must feel?

  In Part 1, we tackle the application itself: the timeline, the most basic resources, finances, and tips for parents of applicants to keep in mind.

  In future parts, we’ll cover financial aid from the parental perspective, common myths, and what to expect when a son or daughter starts medical school.

  If you have questions for us, please send them to pritzkerquestions@gmail.com. Or, call (773) 336-2POD and leave us a message.
