these will be the most awkward days of our lives

my dear, i truly desire to see you as soon as possible, and to die in your arms, since neither the gods whom you have piously worshiped nor the men whom i have always served have shown us any thanks - cicero, to his wife



Grace Babe,

Attached is the class/course plan that Ba wants you to fill out before
you tell me what you want to study this fall.

You must focus on two areas during next four years at Duke, or you
can't get our blessings and supports.
1. Demonstrate strong background to apply medical school (U of M or
Washing U. preferred).
1). Take lessons learned from NW and Washing U straight
Medical program application failures.
2). One major must be Biology w/ intensive pre-Med courses.
3). Maintain the best GPA (3.85 or above) for both majors.
4). Issue at least 2 research papers publically - find the good
professors for topics and use work study or summer time.
5). Join the medical related group to in-need country (China or
South America...) for research or volunteer in weeks.

2. Make your best effort complete double majors in 3.5 years:
(Duke is expensive, use last semester as backup. If you make it,
use it for medical interview, travel, MCAT test and fun.)
1). Take more common courses between two majors.
2). Take as many required courses as you can handle in the earlier
semesters.
3). Don't miss any pre-required courses in freshman and sophomore
years - overview the required courses in good plan.
4). Balance your study load by taking light but practical courses
(i.e Chinese) with heavier required courses.

The keys to success are how you use your time wisely and effectively.
If you work hard toward the right direction, do not worry about the
money. We, including two sisters, will support you.
However, spend money wisely or as necessary.

Love you!

Baba & Mama
