<p>Thanks Miaroxs.
Final question/concern: grading/cutthroatedness/atmosphere at Cornell. I constantly hear that Cornell is cutthroat competitive and many premed students there are miserable as a result. Also, looking at the med school acceptance charts, it seems you need a 3.8 to have a good shot at med school. Is it possible to attain this/do extracurriculars/make friends/be happy? I constantly hear that grading is impossible at Cornell, students are competitive rather than collaborative, and the overall atmosphere for premeds trying to attain high grades is extremely stressful/depressing. I was wondering if anybody could comment on that.</p>
