Alright here's a question:

If a person were to average "the mean" (2.8) in their pre-req classes at a big-name research-heavy institution in the US, but beat all their upper division classes over the head with a stick thus bringing their BCMP up to a 3.2, would they be at a disadvantage compared with a person who simply averaged a 3.2 in all of their science classes?
