Hey guys
I am just curious regarding whether Northwestern has grade inflation or not to evaluate whether I shall pursue its premed track.
I would have to say 100% not
Although many top undergrad institutions fell prey to the grade inflation bug, Northwestern generally avoided it. You’re right to think that GPA will matter a lot for applying to medical school, but I wouldn’t let that scare you. If you want to be a doctor, I would pursue it, grade inflation or no grade inflation. Many of my friends and myself went on from NU to medical school, including to top 10 places. You’ll be fine 
Definitely no grade inflation at NU in STEM classes.
