seems fairly straightforward to me. Any tougher questions?This was a past JMP question
You are the father of a two year old son who has developed a medical condition. His condition means by age six he will be disabled. There is an experimental treatment available with a 50% chance of cure but 50% chance of disability.
Didn't see this post and sorry been extremely busy with students this year. Booked out almost.
Trick question mateseems fairly straightforward to me. Any tougher questions?
Not really straight forward in my opinion. There are so many ways you can answer this question.seems fairly straightforward to me. Any tougher questions?
haha yeah i thought of most of them. I'll inbox you a question i was unsure of sometime this week to see what you think of itNot really straight forward in my opinion. There are so many ways you can answer this question.
Let me give you a taste of what could be said:
1. Does having the disability early affect the child more than later?
2. What is the extent of the disability? Certain disabilities will not be as profound.
3. How will the disability affect the child's future. Will they be able to live a normal life and work in society.
4. Mother's or other family's perspective on treatment or disability.
5. The financial implications of treatment and future care for the child with disability.
6. The impact of treatment on the child, either social, psychological or side effects.
7. Social impact of the treat or disability. Need for relocation will have significant financial cost but also affect work, family members (who may be living close by) etc.
There may be more but that's what I have thought of. If you got them then you are ready for interviews.
What do they actually expect you to say?This was a past JMP question

they want you to take them through your thought process and how you reach a decision. The choice itself isn't very important in most cases as long as its justified.What do they actually expect you to say?
Your thought process has to be detailed and not just superficial. They don't care exactly what you say as long as it makes logical sense and there there is a structure to it. At the end of the day there are many ways to answer the given question. Yeh generally judgement doesn't matter albeit in some cases it might.they want you to take them through your thought process and how you reach a decision. The choice itself isn't very important in most cases as long as its justified.
