"Harvard University is the poster campus for academic prestige - and for grade inflation, even though some of its top officials have warned about grade creep. About 15 percent of Harvard students got a B-plus or better in 1950, according to one study. In 2007, more than half of all Harvard grades were in the A range."

Middlebury and Wesleyan are so much more rigorous than Amherst, Carleton and Haverford. Right. anyone who knows realizes that is about as ludicrous as harvard being more rigorous than the other Ivy's.
A 3.4 average GPA is an average. That means there are players on the team with 3.6's, 3.8's and 4.0's. And those with 2.8's, 3.0's and 3.2's. That is how an average of 3.4 is arrived at.
Methinks those with, 3.8's and 4.0's stand a pretty good chance of getting into med school. even if they aren't from Dartmouth, Amherst, Carleton, and Haverford. If they are, I'll bet a 3.6 might do quite nicely, assuming all the other pieces are in place.
methinks you do not like the list and the conclusions that follow because it is not what you WANT to believe.
