<p>I go to JHU, am pre-med. I'll say it's hard, <em>almost</em> cutthroat, but not as openly as you hear. The real problems are the non-inflated grades and the fact that lots of people prefer to stay and study 24/7, skewing the curve like hell. </p>
<p>Still, 85%-90% med school acceptance rate speaks for something...all I can say is I fight for my As like mad. Perhaps too much.</p>
