This question does pop up on CC a lot. Applicants want to know which schools practice grade deflation in the sciences or which schools write committee letters for med school applicants, but don’t write one if they don’t feel you are a strong candidate. My question back, is, if you are already worried before you get to college that you will not achieve a strong gpa or be in the top portion of the class, then maybe med school is not for you. Med schools take the best of the best. Med school is really tough. DRs need to be really smart. I for one, would feel more comfortable with a DR coming from a school where ‘the committee’ gave him/her support!
