What's up SDN,

Are there any programs (off the top of your head) that put a heavier emphasis on your last 2 years or last 60 credits of undergrad rather than your freshman and sophomore years? Being a Washington resident, I know UWSOM has a system to calculate a GPA that puts more and more strength to your GPA as you progress. Do any other schools do anything like this? What are your experiences? Thanks!

Some schools may accommodative to upward trends; however, they will inevitably put a LOT of emphasis on your MCAT. I would be focusing on the MCAT now.
