@ cavilier: what’s ur major dude? Most engineering majors are significantly deflated relative to other engineering schools, such as Stanford.

Also, your point about med school is just ridiculous. It doesn’t matter what you major in. For the sake of argument, let us say that med schools take people who do biological sciences. There’s a lot of variation in GPA between biology majors at berkeley itself (for example: MCB vs IB).

Additionally, you are competing with other med school applicants, from grade-inflated schools such as Brown.

Obviously, you don’t intend to go to med or law school.
