<p>Even though everyone knows it, med and law school programs don’t take major of choice or college of choice into account. That’s why it’s not a great idea to be an engineering major who wants to go premed or go to a school like Caltech wanting to be premed. Since Ivies know the majority of their students would be at the top of their respective state school in terms of GPA (and therefore able to get into med and law school) they have to make sure that they protect their students goals and the only way to do this is to inflate the GPA.</p>
