<p>There will always be exceptions but my main point is there are a lot more people with 4.0s in high school than there are in college. Just because your grades go down in college doesn’t mean the college is “doing anything to you”</p>
<p>Additionally, if you look at the average MCAT scores of applicants, they tend to be higher at the higher ranked schools. Look at the table. You are better off with a 39 and 3.0 then a 26 and 4.0</p>
<p>I have seen an admissions committee question the effort/rigor required to get a 4.0 at a state school and in the same session not question a 3.8 at an Ivy League school.</p>
