private VS public for premed

[Lollerpants]

<p>

Do note that this sheet - the sheet that you provided - states that the average MCAT score for Duke applicants to med school is a full 3 POINTS HIGHER than the national average, thus allowing for Duke applicants to have a lower GPA.</p>

<p>The lower GPA doesn’t mean that adcoms think more highly of a GPA from Duke if the MCAT scores are, on average, 3 points higher.</p>

<p>Kindly refrain from bringing in “evidence” if you only cherry-pick what works for your argument.

<p>This kind of makes your undergrad institution relevant, indirectly. If you go to a “good” undergrad institution, you’re more likely to learn more or at at higher level, and get the better score. Be it either from class size, test level, what not. To say that going to any undergrad is the same is just irresponsible.</p>
