First of all, UCSF is on a pass/fail system so all you have to do is just keep up. You don't have to gun for As in every class like you did in udergrad. Secondly, does anyone know how that airhead actually got into med school?
I didn't watch the show a lot but the few times I saw her on it I really didn't get impression that she was an airhead. As for how she got into UCSF, she went to Harvard and has a pretty good list of honors:
National Merit Scholar, 1986
Detur Prize, Harvard University, 1987
John Harvard Scholarship, Elizabeth Cary Agassiz Scholar, Harvard College Scholarship, Harvard University, 1986-1990
Phi Beta Kappa, Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, Harvard University, 1990
Regent's Scholar, University of California San Francisco, 1991-1996
