The way you quoted me, made it seem as though I conceded that there are more Ivy students at the nation’s m-schools…



Sorry, my bad. It was not intended in that way.



Huh!? Just because of advising you’re going to give away a Berkeley diploma for a no-name private school of the same price? Seriously???



“Huh?” Exactly.

“Seriously?” Negative; I don’t play with straw men.



A student graduating from high school might be lost in a three-part SATI format and post a low score because he/she doesn’t have funds to match his/her potential wrt the test, but if he/she does well in college in, say, a biochem department, he is likely to score well on the MCAT…



Pure speculation on your part. And quite frankly, not necessarily logical. VR is a chunk of the mcat, and a biochem major ain’t likely to ace it. But that is just speculation on my part. :)

Regardless, those that hail from sub-standard high schools with sub-standard preparation with sub-standard tests scores, tend to do worse on average. And without a hook, those C’s during Frosh year will tend eliminate allo med school.
