Brown's PLME program is famous for getting you into med school.

And med schools are quite focused on grades.

Same goes for Law Schools, which, again, Brown is an outlier for JDs.

Look, the professor here is right. But he's living in a different time. The students are under the gun here and are responding to their incentives. The prof's gripe should not be with the students but with the AMA or the Bar associations, ultimately.

Essentially, the system is sick, the kids and prof are caught in the middle of it. Don't fight each other, fight the power.
