<p>I’m not sure why you feel a B at a higher ranked school should be worth more than an A at a lower ranked school. Lower ranked schools (particularly state schools) are even more grade deflated generally and it’s not a given that they necessarily offer an inferior education.</p>
<p>There are literally thousands of colleges. Adcoms don’t have time to try to dissect grading differences between colleges in order to equate one college’s GPA to other. The best thing they can do is either take the GPA at face value or rely more on the MCAT. </p>
<p>And, keep in mind, most of the students interviewing at the kind of med schools you want to go to currently attend a Top 20 college. No exaggeration. When I interviewed at a top med school a couple of weekends ago, 80% of my interview group were from an Ivy, Berkeley, Stanford, Duke, WashU, or MIT. You can’t differentiate yourself based on the prestige of your college.</p>
<p>So, worry about factors you can control. You should be aiming to have a 3.5-3.6 by application time. Good luck.</p>
