Speedy, grade deflation may affect your ego but should not affect your acceptance into med school. Think about it. The best med schools have seen the success of Princeton students at their med school. Here is advice a provided in another forum. See: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/12334259-post6.html The grade deflation policy takes Princeton back to the grading philosophy prior to the 1990’s. The last time I checked Princeton alumni that graduated before 1990 have done rather well. Their less than a 4.0 average did not cause disadvantages.

There are medical research opportunities in perhaps every science and engineering department. I could send you a long long list but read this advice: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/12339390-post28.html
