3.0+ is NAWT fine. Also some of us go to schools with serious grade deflation where getting even a B+ is one hell of a struggle, and people being messy as hell trying to get the As and A-s.
With that said, congrats to everyone for surviving yet another semester. |
Honestly who cares about where you go to med school? This is one thing I don't get about pre-med and people having top choices. Like, all of them will prepare you equally for the medical field and you will have the same exact job no matter where you graduate from. It isn't like a community college vs. Ivy league kind of situation where you're going to get a notably better education getting into a super selective med school.
Yeah, it'd be cool to say you got into ~Harvard med skewl~ but I've read a lot online that you apply for 20+ schools, be happy with the couple that you get accepted to, and move on. And when the standard target for med school is a 3.7+ GPA, it isn't like a 3.8 vs. a 4.0 will make much of a difference in an admission decision.
that was one of the main reasons why I chose Howard over American.
That's why my 4 month summer break was so dreadful at times.
