PhD programs are well aware of grade inflation at different universities and take this into account when conducting admissions. No idea if med schools do the same but I'd be surprised if they didn't. Your difficulty getting into med school could also have been because engineering not a typical "pre-med" degree.
- HorizonXP 13y agoMedical schools specifically stated that they did not adjust grades. There was some different weighting mechanisms employed for certain schools, but that was at the school level, not program level. Furthermore, medical schools here typically encourage students not to pursue "pre-med" degrees. They want students that pursue challenging programs, in order to demonstrate their abilities and to have a backup if medical school doesn't work out. I don't have any regrets about engineering, it's the best decision I ever made, and I'm sure I'll have an impact in other ways. It's just still a bitter/sore spot for me.
