Ivy Man,
I think most people here are glad that they've read your LAST post. You don't read very well; if you did, you might have learned something. Better work on that reading comprehension.
I went to Berkeley and Stanford. I took classes at both schools, and TA'd undergrads at Stanford. Objectively speaking, Berkeley was way more competitive--really tough to get A's. The "talent at the top of the ladder" at Cal is AMAZING. When I TA'd, we weren't allowed to give out bad grades--even to kids who had consistently failed to turn in assignments, lab reports, etc. It was a complete joke. And the kids that DID do well weren't particularly special.
Face the facts, idiot. You have a lot to learn. Unfortunately, you're choosing not to learn crap at your Ivy League school (which probably SUCKS compared to Stanford anyway) because you're so narrow-minded and arrogant. |

GB, I agree with your response. Luckily, graduating from schools like Cal and applying to graduate schools with a 3.5 is like a 3.8 from an Ivy School. I say this because I have friends at Cal & UCLA who scored had high GPA's (3.75-3.9) in Biochem, MCDB, etc , average MCAT's(9-10), and the research experience. They got into or interviewed with every top program Medical program in the country. The graduate programs give you credit if you can get that high of a GPA at Cal.
