“Also Cornell’s medical school acceptance rate is pretty low because like 60 ppl apply and only like 30 get in.”

Say what? Try 174/232 last year and 159/210 the year before.

“I have heard that it’s harder to get in there from Cornell undergraduate then from another college?”

Seriously, where do you hear this stuff? The dean of admissions at Weill Medical College says they like Cornellians.

What makes you think your GPA will be lower at Cornell? My Cornell GPA is a smidge lower than my high school GPA and is probably as high as what it would be if I had gone to any other college.
