I would say that most of the high GPA people are probably from the College of Human Ecology. It’s pretty amazing to consider the fact that freshman year every other person you meet will probably be premed and by the end of junior year there are only 30 premeds from all of the schools combined who have 3.8+ GPA’s.

I’m not trying to deter you from applying. I love Cornell and encourage everyone to apply. But expectations of 3.8+ is unrealistic. 3.5-3.6, on the other hand, is fairly easy to achieve.
