Yes. Not having data does not sit right with me as a current applicant. But thank you all for being transparent 😞Where exactly are you getting your data that our cohort is underperforming compared to prior classes? We have been told by several TAs that our averages were on par, just that the curve was less generous. Specifically, TAs who last year got a A- or B+ in this year's grading curve would have gotten a B or a B-. I would say that's evidence of grade deflation. Not to mention the massive wave of drop outs we had before the fall semester even ended. So many students dropping out, who had lower test scores, did affect our curve. If you are so confident about the curves being the same, post last year's biochem and physiology curve and let's compare to the one from this year. If we underperformed so badly, you would think we should have at least gotten the same curve as last year, not a worse one.
My biggest gripe with the program is how secretive they were of matriculation data. We have caught them in multiple lies about prior year's data. If I had known how tough it was in previous years, I would never had started the program with the expected GPA and MCAT changes.
