Can any IB majors at Berkeley share your experiences? I’m looking into doing research or going to med school afterward. Are the prerequisites cutthroat? Will grade deflation hurt my chances of getting into a good med school? What is considered a good GPA? Any suggestions, stories, and experiences are all greatly appreciated!
https://www.berkeleytime.com/grades/ can show you grade distributions for various courses.
The typical integrative biology and pre-med prerequisites tend to have about a quarter of students earning A- or higher grades.
…which is what you will need to be competitive for med school (3.7+), and so you can see you need to be in the top quartile of premed students at UCB. Not an easy task at UCB where most students are admitted on a merit basis.
