<p>Okay, like I've been talking to alumni, who say that at Harvey Mudd, if you get a 3.0, you can still get into Med School, because Med Schools look at Mudd and they consider the grade deflation and then still allow you to get in. However, I've also heard that Med Schools usually juts browse over students and look for people with 3.5 and above only. Is that true?
I'm still unsure about my future and i want tobe safe, lol. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Graduate schools do that. Medical schools I have heard do not.</p>
<p>What about law schools (for those who might want to get into patent law). Do the law schools take the grade deflation into account?</p>
<p>…why would you be considering mudd if you are considering law?</p>
<p>At least med school involves basic knowledge of the math and sciences…</p>
<p>I’m not, my son is interested in computer science and math. However, I’m just curious as some folks with engineering/science degrees end up going to law school for patent law (which requires a science/engineering backround)</p>
<p>Med School after Mudd is generally seen as a silly idea. You will be made fun of (in a friendly way, of course) and people will think you are crazy. However, this is not to say that people don’t do it. There is a premed advisor, Prof. Haushalter, who you should definitely talk to if you are on campus and can grab him for a few minutes. </p>
<p>As for the GPA thing, I don’t think they just toss applications, but unless you spend all your time here working in order to get that super high GPA, you’re going to have to find a way to make it clear in your interview/on your application that Mudd has more than prepared you for Med School before you lose their attention. Mudd may be well known in the Math/Science/Engineering world, but its still got a way to go outside of that.</p>
<p>In terms of law school, I have heard that plenty of Mudd alums have gone in that direction. I haven’t actually heard of any specific names though (unlike with the med school issue, where I know one current student and have met an alum)</p>
