<p>Umm, gpa is only ~half of the battle for an interview. (Hint: mcat can count for more) And since Princeton selects for high testers, its average student SHOULD score higher on the mcat than the student at ‘state school’. (A 3.4 at ‘state school’ with a high 30’s mcat will do just fine.) So the real question is whether the same student would score as well on the mcat regardless of what college s/he attends.</p>

<p>Ballpark numbers: Excluding tech/engineering colleges, approximately 25% of each college’s liberal arts Frosh class are premed. P’ton has approx 1300 Frosh. Thus, ~325 are premed on Day 1. According to the link above, ~110 seniors apply each year. (Of those, 90% are accepted.) But that means that 200+ premed Frosh (2/3rds) find other interests – either by choice, or by low grades in bcpm.</p>
