<p>im thinking ahead about medical school
i was jw about the grades of current students in both schools. (grade inflation or no, etc)</p>
<p>it’s definitely easier to get a higher gpa in the college, but then med schools supposedly really like engineers</p>
<p>^yeah but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll give you any leeway (most med schools will hold engineers to the same standards as someone doing a bull***** major)</p>
<p>in any case, average gpa in the college is like a 3.2? whereas in engineering, according to a few years back’s daily pennsylvanian, it was a 2.8</p>
<p>ohh wow thanks for all the info.
are the sat scores about the same for both schools?</p>
<p>also, (biases aside, if possible) do you think Penn’s SAS would be a wiser choice for pre med than Cornell’s Human Ecology?</p>
<p>sure, given the wealth of strong research opportunities at penn med, whereas cornell med is all the way in the city</p>
<p>sat scores are higher for engineering, but not by a huge amount</p>
<p>on a side note, cornell is more expensive!</p>
<p>(i don’t have a big bias, i almost went to cornell and my brother goes to cornell)</p>
<p>^^^ really? i thought cornell woudl be cheaper since im a nys resident and human ecology is a contract college?</p>
<p>tenebrous, how did your brother feel abt the grading at cornell? and how about you for penn?</p>
<p>oh oh if you’re in-state and human ecology then it’ll be cheaper</p>
<p>he thinks it’s fair but he’s also in electrical engineering…</p>
<p>i was bioengineering and i thought it was just fine</p>
<p>hmmm i still cant decide which school i want to apply to ED 
(Penn SAS or Cornell Human Ecology)</p>
<p>Is the city vs. rural difference important to you?</p>
<p>not really, i live in nyc tho.
how is the city setting at penn? similar to nyc?</p>
<p>have you visited both campuses yet? i highly highly recommend a visit</p>
<p>im going to visit this week actually :)</p>
<p>bump bump :)</p>
