| I found that Core Classes were not intense at all and were in fact quite easy, especially since a lot of the material was review from AP classes. I think my freshman year I spent more time playing computer games than actually doing work; this has not been close to true until recently (it's my last term and I'm underloading).
It is definitely not true that people have no time to do anything. As an example, I've watched essentially every Houston Rockets game during my time here, that's 2.5-3 hours every other day for about 5-6 months, plus the playoffs. The work can get hectic in stretches but it's definitely possible to do fun stuff.
Not a premed, would rather not answer questions that I don't know answers to.
Yes, the average GPA here is a 3.3. That's because it is quite easy in general to get a B but quite hard to get an A. To get in top flight grad schools/med schools you'll need almost all A's, therefore a 3.3 is a low GPA here. |
