Thank you Choroidal.
I have been told to be cautious of any college’s published medical school admissions rate. There are so many ways to fudge it that the number can quickly become meaningless.
I spoke with few current premed Cal students over their spring break last week and unanimously they all said maintaining even a 3.0 GPA was exceeding hard there. Getting a B or even C rather than an A was much more common.
