BC is NOT cut-throat; indeed, just the opposite.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that Organic chem is easy, and that everyone has above median grades (ala Lake Wobegone). Premed is HARD at every college, due primarily to the forced curves of the STEM classes. Plenty of kids in Frosh Chem will already have taken AP Chem and earned a 5, but are repeating for the “easy A.”

But more importantly, these are two very different type schools. Medium sized Uni in a suburban campus, vs. small LAC.
