My brother just graduated premed at NW- the courses are very hard, and NW doesn’t curve grades like some other schools, which results in lower GPA. You need to put a lot of work into keeping a high GPA, (which will be true most places to varying degrees).That being said he got accepted into Med school in more than one place, but his GPA was one of the weaker parts of his apps (3.5-3.6, don’t remember what).

So NW is great for premed, but keep in mind it’s quite hard to keep a high GPA, even for high achieving students.
