bluedevilmike,
I have read a lot of good information from you. I’m posting for my high school junior son. Although web information, books or college visiting can help to understand a school, it is still difficult for most kids to tell which school will be best for them to learn and play. And most of the time, they can only try one school. If Duke, and Case Western are equally good schools to learn and play. For the same MCAT score, Does a higher GPA in Case Western than in Duke increase the chance to go to a med school or go to a better med school?

My son ranks top 1%, taking all possible advanced classess, two student club presidents, no sports, 5 hours community service/week, 10 hours job/week, no outside school compititions. Test scores are not available. More likely will get ACT 33+, SAT 2150+, math2c 750+ , Chem 700+. What’s chance for him to go to Duke? Does the major in Duke affect the chance in getting into Duke?
