<p>I'm applying to University of Washington, but I heard that it's really hard getting a good gpa there. I NEED a good gpa because I'm thinking about going to a medical school, and I hear that mcat and gpa matter a lot. So, is it true that it's hard to get a good gpa there? Would it be better for me to go to a smaller college for a better chance of a good gpa?</p>
