This is a little beside the point but...
It seems incredible to me that med school admissions committees don't take into account the difficulty of the program from which the gpa was earned. Tell me it isn't true. Does a 3.8 from Podunk trump a 3.3 from MIT? In fact, does it EVER happen? That would seem like pure foolishness on the part of med school admissions. There is a perception that it is better for med schools to see an easy 3.8 than a hard 3.3. If true, so much the worse for the medical profession (and their patients)!!</p>
