<p>UCBalumnus, your data include engineering and CS, right? Those are tough courses and seldom give out As wherever you’re enrolled in.</p>

<p>Brown

Important to note that Brown’s stats do not include PLME people admitted to Brown’s medical school (it says on the site)</p>

<p>Take this with a grain of salt: Brown is more selective than Berkeley, which might account for the difference.</p>

<p>So about all these Career Center statistics… Do they include data at all on the students who take a year off before med school? Almost all the premed students I know are planning on taking a year off. </p>

<p>It makes sense because the application process is so long (first round of applications starts June 2011 if you want to start in Fall of 2012). And all the bio majors I know have research positions that pay them well so they don’t mind working there after graduation.</p>
