<p>Sure, but the early classes are the weeder courses anyway. And in any case, why would we assume that Berkeley selects its kids exclusively from its Princeton-worthy SAT pool, while Princeton selects its kids from its mean distribution?</p>
<p>Sure, Berkeley has a talented “top tier” of kids. But so does every school. I think it’s unreasonable to suggest that the difference vanishes. A look at mean MCAT scores, if we can find it, will help demonstrate this.</p>
