<p>Actually, when he was a freshman, he was pre-med, until he took all the science classes, which he did well in, but HATED! So, he switched to a double major in Econ and English, and now he plans on going to law school. He has already met with the admissions dean of the law school, and his GPA is actually above the mean GPA of admitted students (3.67). The admisssions guy says that how he does on the LSAT (which he takes this summer) will be a determining factor, along with the resume (internships, work history, etc.), so we’ll see. </p>
<p>A friend of my son’s just got into UTMB med school with a 3.4 out of UT, but he had a killer GMAT score. He also didn’t find out right away, he was on a waitlist for a while, but now he knows, so big sigh of relief for him!!</p>
<p>Oh, and I was just kidding about the Harvard thing! </p>
<p>But, point is - you don’t have to have a 4.0 to go to law school or med school. It certainly helps, but is not a make or break thing. Now, a 3.0 or below - forget about it:)</p>
