The Meds schools know which universities/colleges are known for inflated GPAs and which are known for grade deflation...

Unfortunately, that's only true for Tier 3 colleges, such as Podunk state U. Two of the most grade-inflated colleges in teh country (one on each coast) have extremely high acceptance rates to professional schools. Conversely, students at Reed and UChicago, two schools known for grade-deflation, don't do that well in the professional admissions game. The first cut is all about numbers, gpa and mcat. Thus, a 3.2 at Furman (or any other top college) will be way behind a 3.5 at grade-inflated (fill in the name).
