<p>@RawMcatBB, which college did your D end up? My S will soon be in a similar position, having to decide whether to pursue premed at caltech or not. The rigorous core curriculum and gpa is a concern. </p>
<p>The premed brochure does say that the median gpa is 3.5 in the flyers printed for the last 3 years or so. So it must be accurate.</p>
<p>@lizzardfire, I truly appreciated your caltech posts although your posts consistently discourage premeds from enrolling at caltech. Caltech’s premed brochure, however, state that there are increasing number of premed students at caltech in recent years. So, I am wondering, when did you graduate? Is it perhaps possible that a more lenient grading may be happening even in the tech core classes in the recent years?</p>
