<p>@bernie12 Thanks so much for taking the time to type that–it’s very informative and I greatly appreciate it! :] Yes, it does make sense that MCAT scores of WashU students will be quite higher, but is it because it’s a standardized test and WashU typically takes in students with very high standardized test scores to begin with? I am looking for a medium-level challenge, which I hope Emory will offer me. I just can’t afford to end up with a GPA centered at the typical premed average of 2.7 because that’d ruin all my dreams. I did get accepted to UNC Chapel Hill as well, but I’m wondering if that one would be on the easier side.</p>
<p>I also found it interesting how you said that Emory takes labs, HW, and quizzes into account when it comes to grades. I think that will definitely help give me a boost, seeing as I haven’t been the best test taker in AP Chem so far. I’m glad you told me about that part! As for the professors, wow, there seems to be a huge disparity between the grading. Maybe Emory would be a fit since it’s in-between; it’s not as difficult as WashU nor is it as easy as my safety schools. I’m just hoping I can get at least a 3.5. Would you happen to know the average science GPA of premed students by their junior year when they apply to med schools?</p>
