<p>Not necessarily true. Just because Holy Cross accepts 30% of its students doesn’t make them better than the 58% Pitt accepts. This freshman class had an <em>average</em> HS GPA of 3.93. I have a hard time believing that the average student at Holy Cross had a higher GPA.</p>
<p>Also I agree with everything wgmcp101 said. Unfortunately if you want to get into med school, your undergraduate institute will matter in the sense that you will want strong core classes as well as plenty of opportunities to do research and volunteer. Pitt’s strong medical presence, plus the abundance of UMPC hospitals, aid in that.</p>
