Hey guys. I have a question about BMI @ Parexel. I've done plenty of studies here, but I never had a problem with my BMI. If my BMI is a bit higher (like 1 or less) than a study's maximum BMI, would I disqualified from that particular study? Or is it that I would have to get the maximum BMI by the screening (or the start of the study?)
Thanks!

If the recruiter asks for your height and weight on the phone and you tell them a weight that puts you over the bmi then they wouldn't let you screen but there's no reason you would ever do that. When you get to screening then you need to be down in weight so you don't exceed the max BMI. I have seen people get sent home at screening by being just .1 or .2 over the limit.

As long as you're under (maybe even if you're exactly), you'll be fine. If you're over at all (maybe even if you're exactly), you'll get bounced.

dress your skimpiest, stand tall, diet and exercise, but not so much exercise you throw off your labs. but ask the recruiter about other studies.
