There’s a very good chance that he failed because everything has been handed to him in the first place.
He should make his own mark on the world and forge his own path.
Being a safety net in the event that he REALLY fails and struggles is solid.
Ask yourself this, if you would be in his shoes at his age and your Dad bailed you out or influenced your path, would you appreciate it or would you resent it? You have the advantage of hindsight.
We all grow through adversity.

I believe this is a very likely possibility, helicoptering is the norm these days

Most people here think that if you aren’t a helicopter parent you must not love your kids.
Hell, there was a post earlier today about a guy being upset because his son talked to a military recruiter without him.

As a reminder:
One of my kids is in medical school now (in the southeast at a good school) and 8% of their class failed out by class failure or board exam failure in the first 2 years.
Stop questioning effort and parenting. It may also be poor teaching and poor preparation by the school.

DO School, then International School if not possible but going to be 300k in debt.

That is the highest number of failures I have ever heard of for a medical school class.
However this article says it’s higher than I thought.

We had people quit. We had maybe 2 or 3 finish the next year.
I have seen an increase of students not matching into a residency.
A large state school could have around 150-250 students. 8% would be 12-20 students failing each year. I don’t have the data for the med school I work at, but that seems really high.
I never knew that more than 10% quit/fail.
Seems odd, but I guess maybe we don’t do a good job screening applicants if we have that big a drop rate.

This is not my area of expertise, but from what I have always heard from my buddies that went through med school, once you got in you should be able to hack it. No one is trying to fail you. Everyone wants you to succeed.
My understanding as well.
USMLE pass rates for first-time test takers is close to 100%.
If he’s failing, it’s likely because he doesn’t want to be there.

The DEI at private med schools have driven up the failure rates. There are people who have no business being in med school getting in. State schools aren’t as bad but definitely on the uptick.
The real crime is these people are borrowing money and creating debt with low possibility of passing their boards.

I guess quitting was not an option for me.
Different time.
A career as a physician requires “delayed gratification.”
Our culture does not really inculcate that value anymore.
I guess there are so many options for making a living now that many do not tolerate the bullshite involved in medical school.
I’m not sure what can be done. We were going to fight through anything to graduate. Now I think people quit because they can and they have better options.
If I had quit, the Army would have owned my arse. Maybe that was a motivation to finish.
What are the demographics of the failures/quitters? Younger? Older? Male? Female? Etc

Numbers were probably exactly the same
