hopkins is a school with a considerable reputation and a medical community that is second to none. the university will not endorse prospective candidates if they are not at par with the university’s expectations. and this makes perfect sense. do u want a doctor who didn’t take college seriously and didn’t focus on his studies? of course not. hopkins will defend those candidates that it feels worked hard and deserve to have their support. people are so quick to blame “weeding out” as if it is a bad thing. it is the only thing we have in this country to help ensure that capable people advance while people who either can’t handle or are not willing to handle the work do not. this is for everyone’s benefit, and it makes perfect sense. cornell also cuts its pre-meds substantially. no university wants to lend its support to a student who has poor prospects.
