How hard is it to maintain a good gpa?

<p>

</p>

<p>It depends on the class. Upper level science classes (O-Chem, P-Chem, Neuro) might curve to a B or a B-, lower level (Chem 1, Bio 1, etc.) may curve to a B- or a C+/C. Honors will tend to curve a bit higher (generally to a B). There is no set curve for the classes, it all depends on the professor. </p>

<p>And like clarinetz said, staying in the library all day will do you NO good. I know someone who doesn’t really do clubs, but got a 40 on his MCAT and a good GPA. He hasn’t gotten into a single med school yet. Someone else I know has mid-30s with a decent GPA and a lot of interesting clubs (theater clubs, band, volunteering at a hospital, research) and has gotten into 2-3 schools already.</p>
