Unfortunately, medical school admissions practices encourage pre-meds to take the least challenging course options, since they give no benefit for taking harder or more advanced courses over the introductory courses in the pre-med course list. The use of GPA without regard to one's major or school grade inflation also encourages this type of thinking.
