<p>Is it true that no one at University of Chicago can get into a medical school because of the huge grade deflation?</p>
<p>From what I have heard the average GPA at University of Chicago is about 3.1 for biology and physical sciences majors. Unfortunately most medical schools want at least a 3.6 GPA to get into a medical school. </p>
<p>Is there even a little bit of chance for the average biology or chemistry student to even get into medical school?</p>
<p>Oh my god! Where did you hear this rumor? It is not true by any means. I think like 70-80% get into med school. If you go to the chicago pre-med website, there is some information. It states that the average u chicago grad accepted to med school has a 3.4 something GPA (the lowest in the country for accepted allopathic students), while the average graduate across the country has a 3.5 something GPA. So, although you may have a .1 GPA lower than someone from a grade inflated school, med schools take it into account, believe me. I speak from personal experience as I will be going to a top 15 med school next year. Good luck.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the "average" GPA's and MCAT scores for top Medical Schools. As chicagograd has said, it looks like one would do just fine with a 3.4 from Chicago.</p>
<p>Thank you for the input</p>
<p>I think those averages are a bit dated, but the point is well taken. Chicago's average gpa has bumped up in recent years, and admissions committees tend to be well aware that chicago has lower average gpas's than comparable schools.</p>
