premed at 3rd tier?...

<p>So Sakky, what would be your explanation as to why med schools demand higher GPA's from tougher schools? Let's face it, I don't think med school adcoms just got together and said "Let's accept students with lower GPA's from easier schools and higher GPA's from more rigorous schools" I would hope that you give admissions officers more credit than that. What must be examined is what Berkeley and MIT graduates lack in relation to those other graduates that force them to have to compensate with a higher GPA.</p>

<p>BTW: This still doesn't answer the original poster's question. You're comparing top schools to top schools.</p>
