<p>The average GPA of a student accepted into Harvard or Yale’s medical school is 3.87. I doubt either of these top programs want to Change course and tout their average GPA is now lower than the others …Because they decided to accept except more Princeton kids. That would not make for good press. Its that simple. </p>
<p>Many brilliant kids I know who are premed Opted not to attend Princeton 100% due to its harmful grade deflation. </p>
<p>With Equally brilliant and hard-working kids at all three schools, the approximate average GPA out of Princeton at 3.2 versus a 3.6 at Harvard or Yale Is Nothing but Harmful to Princeton students. In the long run for graduate school and careers, in the short run for internships and promoting a nastier competitive environment amongst the students during their four years at Princeton. </p>
<p>It’s time for Princeton to quickly move away from this policy and come in line with their peers. Forget saving face and just do the right thing ASAP. Everybody already knows it was the wrong thing And no peers followed suit</p>
<p>Ptons admissions success to the top preferred medical schools in this country has been harmed, And cherry picking data that says overall medical school admissions rates are still relatively comparable Ignores the factor Of to which caliber medical schools and whether or not they are the candidates first choice</p>
