I ask my wife her opinion on med school a lot and what she says flies under the radar is a lot of these kids set themselves up for high undergrad gpa’s by taking easy majors and peppering in the required bio and chemistry classes as electives, and the lower ones average out.
Kids who just have nothing but straight A’s all four years of college, then kids who have a mix of A’s and B’s and you get a 3.75 average. But there were kids who got a lot of B’s. And they weren’t the Asian or Black students.
