Does anyone else think the USPM program at WUSTL is Ridiculous?

<p>

This pretty much means that the students accepted will not be like those at HYPSM since they eliminated ones that they think will be accepted at HYPSM, thus meaning that there won’t be a lot of students that are “the best of the best” at their school when compared to HYPSM so the number of students that can “easily” maintain a 3.8 (which in the first place is difficult for almost everyone) are reduced.

<p>Prove it. People like to complain about over-qualified candidates being rejected from WUSTL, but there really is no such thing as an over-qualified candidate (until some 18 year old cures cancer and gets rejected).
That is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have heard all day. There are plenty of students at WashU who have turned down HYPSM, as well as plenty who didn’t even apply (for whatever reason- weather, school department, you name it).</p>

<p>I’ll agree with you on this much though, a 3.8 at WashU is pretty damn difficult.</p>
