| Just for clarification, just as grade inflation means a B- gets curved up to a B+, grade deflation means that you get an A-, but so many people got As that your grade actually falls to a B+. In that respect, we don't have grade deflation, simply because the class is so hard that no one will get an A. So... it's not really deflation at all. It's just really really hard :-P
Also, to indie-jimmy - I'm trying to be realistic, but realize that practically a fifth or so of the campus is still pre-med, and many do go to great medical schools from here, so ... yes it's difficult, if you drop out, don't feel stupid, but know that you certainly can achieve here... it's just difficult. Be prepared to sacrifice. |
