<p>People get A’s. Its just important that you realize that it won’t necessarily be you getting A’s in every class anymore. That said, it could still be you getting A’s in every class. You’ll find out when you get here.</p>
<p>Oh and I think it is important to note that in the US every medical school is a good medical school. It isn’t like undergrad where there are clearly defined tiers. (whether you agree with those tiers or not whatever, they are there) For medical schools there are the top 10 or so and then there is everything else. Obviously there might be a couple of exceptions but pretty much any US medical school you will get the same quality of medical education.</p>
<p>But if you mean “how do student get into the top 10 medical schools”? The answer is: study, study, volunteer, be brilliant, be authentic (thats a big one, nothing kills a good application like a big faker; it comes across in interviews) and study. Most people at Duke for undergrad will not end up at Duke or Johns Hopkins or WashU for medical school. Thats just the way it works.</p>
<p>Edit: Oh and the answer to how to get A’s when the class is curved to a B-/C+ is do a lot better than the average. There is no magic trick to it, you just do really well.</p>
