<p>Cue, There you go again. Why do you assume few Chicago students can do that well? </p>
<p>Frankly, I don’t know, nor do I care, how Med school adcoms do their work. I’m just pointing out that students with GPA that are reasonable for a strong UofC student to get can lead to med school. </p>
<p>I will exit this discussion since it seems to be going no where. You’ve made your mind up.</p>
<p>I will just point out (as my parting shot? 
) that students get into top med schools like Wash U. with less than top grades. Yes, they may need balance with top MCAT scores. But this is reasonable. After all, only top students from UofC (or Pton or Yale) should think about applying to a top med school, and top med schools are the point of your diatribe. But these same top students should also be able to get top MCAT scores. </p>
<p>At some point, this becomes rather circular. After all, a top school is defined by the high scores and GPA of its students. The top applicants from UofC are also defined by high grades and high test scores. If a UofC student does not have the goods, (s)he should not bother with top schools - same as peers at schools like Harvard and Yale.</p>
