    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 this Part 3, we’re busting myths related to having a son or daughter apply to and ultimately medical school.

    In the final installment, we’ll talk more about what it’s like to have a son or daughter in medical school.
