MS likely admits a little more competitive students from their own undergraduates. However, there is no substantial advantages to individual.
If your kid got all A in rigorous BCPM with less than 90% efforts on courses without extra out of classes trainings in high school, strongly self learning skills, disciplined, and being truly ambitious, go to JHU, and work really hard from day one.
College after graduation to boost his sGPA for sure. There is no trick on sGPA in the world of MS admissions. This is why more and more applicants take gap years.
He must study very hard from the day one in those colleges to be really competitive for MS. There is no significant difference between jhu and WashU. Overall, prefer to jhu. Good luck to him. It is a long run hard journey but being rewarded eventually especially for boy
Is it true that generally Medical School doesn't admit many students from their own undergraduate class? Thank you.
每个学校招自己学生都有限，这个学校毕业不见得能进自己医学院，主要是要得高GPA申请外校
朋友儿子JHU under，说他学校毕业能进JHU 医学院的都得非常出色。竞争很厉害

WashU is not a choice.
听说一年不超过10个
In top to elite schools, one C is not the end of the world. But overall sGPA is better than 3.6 is safely needed.
老中看看那成绩肯定就认为没洗，人家就去啦还是很好的MS。

据他说MS喜欢工程专业的学生。
刚拿到一个牛医学院的通知。当然可能GPA不错，那大学就几千人。在紫檀应该算野鸡吧。
人很耐斯，没觉得太费劲。
那样的话，比如再去上一年微积分，不去换算AP成绩，那不是更容易得A?
And shining resume
那个学校给我印象最深的就是孩子家庭收入中值最高。
To use AP credits to replace the entry BCPM in colleges. In deed, top to elite schools limit the credits being used. Believe you know why.
For pre-med, you can do any major you like with the prerequired BCPM usually 12-13 courses plus several advanced bio.
However, more BCPM more better. This is why majority ms students from science majors especially bio or chem
No matter what, sGPA is the base
其他的top 医学院好一些

To get A due to the curve of grade, limited A_ A A+, lots of students are weeded out by those courses.
And then brag out it's students matched to top specialists, very annoyed, and disgusted by peers
不知道 UCLA 怎么样。我认识老大在UCB读完。老二是同时进UCB和Vanderbilt. 但选Vanderbilt. 两孩子都进了医学院。 老大进的医学院差点。也读得很辛苦。
那么玩儿命，也进了不错的医学院。本科也没花钱。所以觉得亚裔活得太累。
need to work too hard.
看来医学院地理位置也很重要
?
Or that is only good for Texas residents?
！
省点钱去读医学院。
医学院的学费也越来越贵了。
resident attending school in TX - thx
可能比你那三个选择都要好
Based on 95% efforts on BCPM for a A now in high School. Competition is brutal for premed in both JHU and WashU.
本州学生也在85%。
德州好像是最容易的州之一
招很多本州大的学生。很容易查的，只要上网查各个医学院的每年公布的录取stat, 不少都列着录取学校的来源。
只有那些一流医学院，前15名的医学院，录取的学生从一流大学的比较多。
不是难事，稍微用功点应该就能拿A，所以，一直有学医不需到一流大学念本科一说，只要大50名的州大，再不济到100名的州大，争取念个GPA3.8以上就行。
有好的不上，上容易的。这想法要不得。
The fact of his 95% efforts on BCPM courses with A, he will be very difficulty to be competitive in there jhu for premed
如果重修能抹去C，其实不可怕。大不了重修几门课。
大女兒liberal arts的GPA才3.3。畢業工作一年，再到U of North Carolina補修premed的science課共10門課， GPA=4.0。有三個med school 給admission。現在R3（double boards） 在Baltimore。
