My daughter is a sophomore at BU and is a premed. While the smartest of the smartest kids get A’s, many kids have to struggle to get B’s or lower. First year Chemistry scale their tests so the average is in the low 60’s. They do a good job of providing support for kids who want to learn and they make the average a B-. The Biology department however is horrid. Bad teachers and difficult tests make it hard for kids who aren’t whizzes to do well. If you aren’t at the top in your class and you want to med school, go somewhere else where you can get a better grade point.
