[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you have to earn your grades at W&M but medical schools and other graduate programs recognize this, so a 3.4 at W&M is equivalent to a 3.8 at JMU.

For a more quantitative measure the admit rate for W&M is 15-20% higher than the national average for medical school. [/quote]

You think premed courses at, say, JMU are easy? [/quote]

Not easy anywhere, but there is a difference.

Well known if you read any of the pre-med advising boards that there is no such thing as a boost based on where an applicant went undergrad. I wish there was- [b]my kid at a T20 had a much more challenging orgo class than my other kid's roommate at JMU or her HS bff at VCU. [/b]But no brownie points for having gone to a T20. Hopefully the tougher curriculum will help net a higher MCAT score. 
The general advice is go undergrad where you can get the highest BCPM GPA and overall GPA. [/quote]

How on earth would you know this?  Oh, right.  You don’t.   :roll:

Hmm. You are not doing JMU any favors with your posts. [/quote]
