I've known Dave for four years, since we were freshmen. He's smart, majoring in biology, wanting to go on to med school. He's a straight A student--and I mean it, a 3.98 GPA. For the first two years of college, he always said he wanted to go to Harvard or Johns Hopkins or another top med school. However, his third year, he met a girl, which is normal, I guess. But this girl (who's staying for a fifth year) wants him to stay also, and pursuaded Dave to stay at the same school for med school as well. The school we're at is not top-ranked, and I really feel he's doing it just because she's pressuring him to do so. He also got a 98 percentile on his MCATs. Seriously, he can go to any med school he wants. When do you tell a good friend that he's making a bad decision? While I know that "it's his life" and I should support him about it, I know he gave up his dream for a girl, and as his friend, feel like I have an obligation to talk to him about it.
