Asking this for someone I know who is about to graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell. He is now thinking of medical school. He feels that his GPA which is a 3.65 (no C's, all A's and some B's) would hurt him if he started the process. I explained that he would need to do either a postbacc or DIY required classes which would help his GPA. Aside from all the prerequistes required, how would an admissions committee look at said GPA, especially coming out of Cornell engineering which is notoriously rigorous and has very little grade inflation. I've been friends with this student for years and I am aware of how Cornell engineering grinds the kids into dust.
