<p>@ Future: Oddly enough, if you think about grades, and grade distributions, then you probably won’t do well here. </p>
<p>The people who do best are those that major in what they are passionate in (regardless of GPAs/difficulty). As long as you are passionate, the grades will come naturally. A 3.8+ is very doable. </p>
<p>I have friends that take classes solely based on the grading distributions, which often backfires because of their lack of interest in the course. Forget about this off-season junk as well. </p>
<p>Aside from passion, the only “logistical” things you should do are to take the class with an instructor known to be good and (most importantly) schedule no more than 2 premed classes per term. </p>
<p>Balance 2 premed classes with 1 R&C course, and perhaps an AC course. This is really really important, because it makes getting close to a 4.0 pretty easy.</p>
