My DD is in her second year at Georgetown. She mentioned that in one of her classes As are limited to 40%, which does not seem restrictive to me. DD had a 4.0 GPA her freshman year.

Also, Georgetown has an early admittance program for students that lets them apply to med school during junior or at the beginning of senior year and start immediately after graduating from college, which is a huge huge bonus.

applying senior year and getting to go right to med school is common at many elite schools...i do not think this is a boost unless you are saying the admit rate is higher/it is easier to get in to med school?[/quote]

Yes, I am saying it is easier to be directly admitted to the med school as an undergrad - Georgetown reserves a certain number of slots for this program (though many GU undergrads are admitted to the med school outside this program as well).  It is definitely a boost, especially considering that a relatively small percentage of students are now accepted into med school directly from undergrad, so having the certainty early in the process that you are on this path is definitely a bonus.  There is a similar program for law school.[/quote]
