[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started my 1st sem med school pre-reqs at my T10 and bombed, so I took summer 2nd sem classes at my state flagship and got easy As. Did that for the rest of the pre-reqs every summer.

T10 tests were a beast -- short answer and essay and drawing cycles from memory, while state flagship tests were easy -- matching and multiple choice with maybe one short answer.

I ended up choosing a different health profession, and my interviewer told me they were excited to have someone from [my T10 university].

So maybe consider other health professions if med school isn't in the cards.  [/quote]

I have no clue how things compare, but can say my child at a supposed inflation Ivy is working their tail off in pre-req. One B so far, the rest are A’s but comes with tons of effort and hours in the library, and not prioritizing a social life. This is a kid that picks things up easily, it’s HARD. The exams are very intense and classmates are all very smart. [/quote]

Harvard? Yeah, I think the easy A rep no longer applies.[/quote]

From mine and their cousin, applies to both Harvard and Brown. I feel confident the same could be said for Yale who also gets lumped into this. I think it’s good to talk about, cousin would have taken things slower and protected grades more had they known, especially given gap year norm. [/quote]
