<p>Thank you for relieving some of my concerns. I guess what has kept me from jumping at Princeton’s admission is the grade deflation. And while I see that it was put in place to keep the humanities in check, I worry that a GPA like a 3.2 at Princeton, which is comparable to a 3.5 or so at Harvard, could hurt my chances of pursuing medical school… So classes I take outside of STEM courses could still hurt me because of grade deflation?</p>
<p>I apologize if I am overthinking this.</p>
<p>And I am waiting to hear from other schools because I have applied to some 6/7-year combined pre-med/med programs (ie. George Washington, Penn State) so I want to consider all of my options. Though Princeton has been my dream school since I was a child, I still want to be practical about my decision. I don’t think I am “taking” spots from other applicants…</p>
