<p>bluebird, congrats on your son’s choices. 3.5 is in fact the median gpa according to their flyer. being division 3 athletics, any student can participate in the athletics without fear, especially during the first two terms when it is on P/F. Even in the 3rd term and beyond, they can stay on the team as they can easily choose not to travel for the away games. my son enjoys the ultimate frisbee there and he plans to stay on in the team as there is no added pressure from it on his academics.their house system, and kids working together and helping others with ps and academics in general are just great (thanks to their strong honor code). but it doesn’t mean that the workload is light because it is not. another consideration for your son is, from any of the top colleges that your son can select from, it is no trivial matter to get in top 20 med school. They will really have to exert themselves throughout college to get admitted to any top 20 med schools. Congrats again to you and your son.</p>
