Caltech Med Scholars

<p>It’s an elaborate trap to try and trick premeds into going to Caltech. Suckers. Actually, they probably just used the following [incorrect] logic:</p>

<p>“More than 40% graduate with honors… that’s pretty much 50%. One way to graduate with honors is to get a 3.5… we’ll assume that’s the only way. Therefore, the median GPA is a 3.5!” </p>

<p>According to the registrar, 38% of undergrads have a 3.5 or higher. Still, not bad, considering the current average GPA of 3.1-3.2 is a heck of a lot better than the 2.8 average of half a century ago.</p>

<p>[Insert joke about biologists being bad at math here.]</p>
