which has nothing to do with admission (since I'm an alumni) but rather a solicitation for a donation from the new dean.. he states in the letter the 2006 entering class had an average GPA of 3.5 and 97% had Bachelors degree.

Hope that helps.

To be fair, the average on the first biochem test was 76%... I think they tried to even things out by making the 2nd exam a little easier 😛
 
You heard it here first, grade inflation at USC. 😉

Wimmer, our biochem lady shows no mercy. She didn't flinch once when she gave many a pharmacy student Ds/Fs. Davis, the woman doing Pharmacology is even more nutso. She actually assigns 200+ pages of Katzung's Clinical Pharmacology responsible for 10-15% of the test that aren't even mentioned in lecture. Nothing like spending 5 hours a day, 6 days straight studying for an exam to get a bloody 75%. Class average in that one was actually a 75%. 2/82 in my class got As. A whole lotta casualties in that one.

Is Cadenas still teaching Biochem? If so..y'all should all get 95%+
 
He sure is. And he wears the same suit everyday...

Holy cow..really? Our class was the first class he taught... he was new.. this was in 1991. I don't recall him wearing suit... jeans and t-shirt I recall. He must have saved up enough to buy some suit.. way to go Enrique!👍
