If a student is in one of the smaller departments, I would think he may know whether he is among the pool of “better” premed stduents by his grades in most of the prereq classes.



Sorry, but this line of reasoning doesn’t make any sense to me. It doesn’t much matter what a student “knows” about his/her standing…the only thing that matters is what the professional school adcom ‘knows’ or cares about.

A’s are A’s, regardless of whether in a large or small department. A’s in premed courses are A’s in premed courses, regardless of the size of the class, or college.

btw: a 3.7 from Brown, which is way below the top 5%-10% will still do quite well in the grad school admissions game.
