<p>@corranged: Students with lower GPAs than U of C’s do get admitted to med schools, and once again your generalization is grossly inaccurate. There is a subjective aspect to each application and where the student comes from plays a role as well ( especially during the personal interview ) However, contrary to what some people have implied, there is no “numerical factoring” to compensate for a low GPA from a tough undergraduate program. It is not done. The subjective factor can not be calculated and it is a tremendous detriment to some applicants, especially with all other factors being roughly equal.</p>
<p>That is what micromom was asking and that is to what I am replying to. Let’s avoid rationalizations. I do get where you are coming from, for suuuure.</p>
