The curves are as generous as you can reasonably expect. Don’t worry too much about the details, it’s impossible to generalize. Honestly, usually the people obsessing about the curves aren’t actually interested in learning the course material and probably shouldn’t be pre-med anyway. If you are a good science student, you will do well (better than the other premeds who are asking about whether 35 or 40 percent of the class is getting As).

Here’s some data on acceptances and matriculations, although it’s not exactly what you asked for. You’ll notice that we get in to the most competitive schools at several times their overall admissions rate (3x for many)
