7 years ago, D1 decided Princeton over MIT. MIT is unnecessary hard. She had wonderful experience at Princeton. Now, she will be graduating from medical school in 2016.

Princeton’s grade deflation policy has been lifted.

Bottom line: Compare Cost and prestige. All are great schools. Whatever you choose, you need to work hard for the next 4 years. No worry for GPA.

I visisted UCLA yesterday for Bruin Day and I absolutely love the campus environment! Will be going leaving for MIT on Wednesday to attend CPW.

@coolweather Thanks for the charts, it actually answered a lot of my questions! Do you have a link for the Princeton premed data set?

This is the only thing I found:

does seem that MIT students get admitted with lower GPAs then the other schools.

28

Should have added to the post above-which means that these schools appreciate the rigor of MIT’s curriculum.
