You should be warned against doing pre-med. At any school. Because it takes a lot of work. That is not specific to Yale.

I can’t answer your question, but the idea that one can divide pre-med students in collaborative or cutthroat makes little sense. If there is pressure at a school, it’s because the students feel pressured inside themselves. Remember, you don’t major in pre-med. You can major in English and be pre-med and then you might find the English majors either cutthroat or collaborative based on you and your expectations.

As for grading, you just said that Yale gets kids into med school. That happens because the kids score well, just as they scored well to get into Yale. You answered your own question.

Stop worrying about details and make a decision based on where you want to be, where you feel comfortable, which you can better afford.
