My, you two (Underachiever and cmburns14) certainly invite a great many ‘corrections’!



Underachiever:

The Natural Science GPA is absolutely terrifying (just a little over 3.1)



Okay, you have me confused. Where in the world did you get that GPA number in reference to medical school applicants from Princeton?



Underachiever:

It means that an average Princeton student majoring natural science will not even be competitive for any medical school.



I’m afraid that all evidence is to the contrary. Princeton graduates are among the most competitive in the nation for medical school.



Underachiever:

. Alternatively, Princeton may have to screen for pre-med students to achieve over 90% admission.



Princeton does no screening whatsoever. Anyone wishing to do so can apply to medical school from Princeton and will be given the support of the institution.
