<p>Are the averages relatively low mostly because of the professors being harsh graders, students not studying enough/not bright enough in science, both, or neither? This: <…the general trend is that premeds here will usually try the hardest yet still have relatively low GPAs.>, worries me. I don’t want to study 6+ hours a day just to get a <3.4GPA. That’s suggesting people to go to a state school and ace-up a crispy and tasty 3.8+ GPA for the same amount of effort.</p>
<p>I’ll be in the pre-pharmacy track and students in the pre-pharmacy track take mostly the same courses as pre-med. I’m not pre-med damn it! Who do we pre-pharmacy students have to skate in the same ring as them? Not cool, dude.</p>
