Ok, this message goes out to the dozens of posters about this pre-med scare thing. Pre med here is difficult, but guess what? It’s difficult everywhere! If you put in the same effort here vs ucla I’m willing to bet you, your gpa will be only insignificantly different (honestly the difference between like a 3.5 and a 3.6).
Yes, med schools know about deflation, of course they do, it’d be ridiculous to think they’d consider a 3.6 from cal state channel islands and ucla to be the same.
I’m a premed here, I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s difficult, but I also think my situation would only be a teensy bit better if anything at all, had I chosen UCLA.
Just pick the school you want to go to and not the school you’re least afraid of, college isn’t meant to be coasted through.
