How do medical schools take into account the different grading scales at different universities?
Where I did my undergrad, to 4.0 biochem you needed a 85% and the prof curved each individual exam and a 3.0 is a 72%
Where I am doing my post bac, to 4.0 biochem, you need a 95% and the prof curves each individual exam
and to 3.0 you need an 80%
Difficulty wise there isn't some huge difference that would warrant a 10% difference in a 4.0
How do medical schools account for these types of differences?
