We are all comfortable and well read with the current GPA system and it will likely not change, but let's say Obama gave you a blank check to change the system to become less skewed and biased. While the MCAT is a great equalizer, many don't find it enough...
How would you change it?

I like how all the votes so far are telling you to stop smoking

Thank you all for the comic relief but lets give OP a real answer here. I would fix the cashed healthcare system and check the fixed cash.

We only ****s wit that fire. No dank allowed

Your bowl is cashed now go check the... What were we talking about?

I guess I would use the blank check to have all the schools make separate premed classes from regular orgo, physics, etc and enforce some kind of standardized curving and testing system?

I think it's weird/unfair that some schools have classes that mostly curve to a C whereas other schools have ones that mainly curve to a B.

At the very least I think some schools have to start giving out more C/D's instead of having everyone get A/B's.

Donald Trump is going to repeal Obama-grades and replace it with an UNBELIEVABLE system and make the schools pay for it!

You keep ripping on Donald but who else are we supposed to vote for? A crook that blatantly gets away with it? God bless Murica'

But this would track long term performance vs. doing well on one high stakes MC test like the MCAT (both of which are important for med school success).

Also I think it could help out people who can't afford to buy a lot of prep materials for the MCAT. In this AU, the material taught in the courses would follow MCAT guidelines. The premed courses would have weekly/biweekly standardized quizzes (to encourage learning throughout the class vs just cramming for a final). The quizzes and some sort of final would be averaged at the end and then curved to a national standard (B or C).

(again this would only probably work in a blank check situation where you had the logistical power to create and grade the material while also having mechanisms to prevent cheating like with the MCAT)

I'll bite...Written evaluations--- I think UCSC does that--- damn hippies!

prof evaluation/grade comment: "Student consistently showed up to class.... asked insightful questions.... understood material..... a little heavy on the hair gel....C+"
