premed at 3rd tier?...

<p>sakky, I'm not sure if you go to MIT or not, but even on the other thread you keep bringing up MIT students. First of all, at MIT when you graduate you're supposed to report your GPA and where you're going for grad school, work, med school, etc to the careers office. A lot of people don't report their information. Second of all, med schools do realize MIT is much harder to get good grades at. Just this year my friend who has a 3.4 ( a 4.4 on MIT's 5.0 scale) got into University of Chicago medical school and he's not a minority. Also another thing is a lot of the time MIT students do lack in social skills and don't do well in their interviews. I've talked to so many physicians and surgeons who are at the top of their respective fields and they've all said that MIT students have a different way of thinking which becomes very useful in medicine. So, before you go on bashing MIT premeds, get your fact straight.</p>
