Thank you for the direction. I will not post this going forward. I did not know about that overarching rule, but makes sense.

Grant is pre-med. Medical school admission is super competitive, so you'd best take your slot when you get it. If he gets an acceptance, he will almost certainly leave.
If I'm not mistaken, Grant has a job offer after graduation. I imagine he's either going to take the job or go play a grad year elsewhere. I am of the impression (from many) that of the group, Kochera plans to return.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 6:35 pmGrant is pre-med.

Grant spent last summer as an intern for Stryker, a huge medical/surgical equipment company. I suspect this is the source of his job offer. If he is intent on medical school, he has some options in case he isn't accepted straight out of college. This is actually a common occurrence these days, as many med schools like to see some research or work experience after college. Back in my day, with the Vietnam war still raging, a prospective MD didn't dare risk a gap year unless you had a safe draft number. One of my Duke classmates flew F-4 Phantoms off an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin prior to med school.collegecoach8502 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 9:45 amIf I'm not mistaken, Grant has a job offer after graduation.

Due to a lack of grad school at Davidson, student-athletes can't just randomly decide to take another year at Davidson, even if they have eligibility. You can do so, but it must be worked out well in advance.
Maybe it's still the case, but wasn't there a Davidson alumnus/a that was CEO of Stryker in recent years?DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:37 amGrant spent last summer as an intern for Stryker, a huge medical/surgical equipment company.

A classmate of mine went to Harvard Law School straight out of Davidson. He had not done Advanced ROTC, so when the draft laws changed, he did NROTC at Harvard. It was a time of war protests, so very few undergrads there did any ROTC flavor. Almost everyone in the program was in med school or law school. My number was high enough that I didn't need deferments for which I was eligible. My draft board classified me 1-A. If you stayed in that for a year without being drafted, then you were exempt for all practical purposes. I recently found out that my friend from New York was in the same situation. Then after a few years in the parish, he became a chaplain in the Navy.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 10:37 amBack in my day, with the Vietnam war still raging, a prospective MD didn't dare risk a gap year unless you had a safe draft number.
