<p>So the pay is the same for both D.O. and M.D.?</p>
<p>yes … lol</p>
<p>What is the average GPA that you should aim for if you want to go to a good med school?</p>
<p>3.5 or above for med school. 3.8 or above for a top med school.</p>
<p>aim for a 4.0, can’t hurt you, med school admission is becoming increasingly competitive, mroe and more kids are turning up with higher gpas. its kinda like college admissions!</p>
<p>oh man a 3.8 GPA at cornell… O_O!!! haha… I better write a kick butt med school essay and get a high MCAT score!</p>
<p>A 3.8 at Cornell must be ridiculous to get… especially with the pre-med track.
Wow!</p>
<p>Not really. If you work 30-40% as hard as you will in med school, you should be able to achieve a reasonable GPA.</p>
<p>what % of those students get a 3.8 GPA? >.<!!! also, if you lets say get a cornell degree and apply for cornell’s med school, will that give u an advantage? O_o… just wondering haha…</p>
<p>Pretty sure it wouldn’t, I think a lot of people will tell you that, not entirely sure though so maybe someone else can tell you, but I’m pretty sure it’s that way</p>
<p>And remember, GPA and MCAT score are a large portion of the acceptance, but there is a lot more you will need on top of that, don’t just aim on perfecting two components, make the effort and do much more than that</p>
<p>3.8 is mad hard. maybe hahahha. i just do bad on finals</p>
