Colgate Premed. A's possible?

I am very interested in Colgate. I also think that I am going to be a premed student no matter where I go. How is the premed program at Colgate? What other schools have programs similar to the premed at Colagate (if you know)?

Also, my dad has a friend (friend is a doctor) who went to Colgate and was premed there. His friend said it is almost impossible to get A's there? Is that true? What is the avg. GPA for a premed student?

Premed is difficult anywhere anyway. Colgate's going to be tough, no matter what major you're in.

But it does have excellent reputation in the sciences so you'll be looked upon quite favorably by med schools. I wouldn't sweat it.

All premeds are the same. A friend at Cornell insists that it's just all in your head that getting A's in premed is really hard.
