<p>i'm interested in going to med school after northwestern and it's quite obvious that GPA is a significant factor in admissions. i was wondering if anyone could tell me a little about the situation for the premeds at NW. is it as bad as berkeley? how is grade inflation? is it on the same level as the ivies? and help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>The viewbook says the med school admit rate is 84%. Average GPA varies quite a bit among majors.</p>
<p>[National</a> Trends in Grade Inflation, American Colleges and Universities](<a href=“http://www.gradeinflation.com%5DNational”>http://www.gradeinflation.com)
there’s a data table on northwestern at the bottom of the page. suffice it to say, the grade inflation…downright admirable.</p>
<p>i see… what is the average northwesterner undergrad MCAT score? does anyone happen to know that? (in comparison to other schools)</p>
<p>I’m planning on being pre-med too, and I’m stuck between UNC, JHU, or NU…</p>
