Stanford bias

[PDsquash83]

Hey guys,

I have noticed that several of my friends at Stanford have had an unusually difficult time getting into medical schools. Any of you heard of a Stanford bias? Perhaps adcoms deciding there is too much grade inflation ?

Really? I have seen quite the opposite with my Stanford friends.

I have also noticed exactly the opposite.

look at mdapplicants.com and search for stanford students that recieve an acceptance from any medical school and you will find many gpas around the 3.0 mark (or below or above)...

They are having a hard time, just like everyone else in the U.S. Less than half of all applicants get accepted the first time applying: some of those students have got to be from Stanford.

Yes. There is a bias but it's 'cause Stanford is in Kaleefoniah and everybody know you guys are weird!

j/k
Sandiego had a good point.
