[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By weed out, OP, you mean got a C- in Organic Chemistry? Even with the curve? I'm fine with that. [/quote] When everyone in the college has 95-99 percentile SATs it’s pointless to have curves, yet top 20 colleges do this in their pre-med tracks. We’re not talking curve against a class of flunkies, all these kids are wicked smart and could become fine doctors who speak the king’s English.[/quote] U Chicago is the only top 10 school that I know of that is harsh with the grades. Kids know that going in. You can still distinguish yourself both in the clsssroom and at work, even without perfect grades. And on the MCAT too. Plus graduate schools don’t expect U Chicago kids to have straight A’s. [/quote]
