@noready That happens at every school and accepted percentiles are inflated everywhere, even at places like Rice and Yale. To be fair, lots of students pick pre-med because its a childhood fantasy, pays very well and their parents nudge them in that direction. However, in college, they realize its not their cup of tea. Some genuinely want to do it but just don’t have the apptitude or chops to make it. Same goes for other tracks and majors as well. Undergraduate is the time to explore your academic strengths and weaknesses. Also, its a time of rude awakening as students who were stars of their average schools, fade among a galaxy of shinier stars.
