...you will get curved like crazy at those schools. They specialize in keeping most pre-meds out of medicine. I highly advise people to go to small liberal arts colleges cause the name on your degree doesn't mean **** when you have a 3.3 and I'm graduating magna cum laude. My friends at the local state school in the same town as my college are struggling like crazy to get a 3.4-6, with the possibility of a 3.2. I pulled down a 4.0 this semester on 4(2) hard sciences(with lab). It won't matter that it isnt a large well known institution... my cousin got a 4.0 straight at his no-name undergrad and had 6 md acceptances with a average mcat and average ec's, and was offered a few half and quarter tuition scholarships. Your paying for that degree.. so buyer beware.
