I’m guessing that the “weeding out” is the reason that the percent of premeds among BME drops from 80% to 20% over 4 years. From what I’ve heard from students, the pre-med classes (Bio, Chem, O. Chem) are graded so that a certain percentage of students get A’s/B’s/C’s etc. After four years, the med school applicant pool at a place like Hopkins is probably so self-selective that the students that apply are already the best of the best. So like best_wr said, if you really work hard through the pre-med curicullum, you’ll be among that 90+%
