@proud terrier, regarding your previous statement “Everything I’ve heard from friends/acquaintances is BU has a solid rep for admission to grad programs and the like–most institutions are aware of the academic rigor at BU (and grade deflation) and evaluate students’ GPAs accordingly.” I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on this comment. My son is a recent grad of BU who is currently working in the healthcare field, while studying for the MCAT & will be applying to med school. In your opinion do med school admissions really consider BU’s “academic rigor” when evaluating candidates or does your comment relate purely to graduate programs and not med school? Any other comments from others would be appreciated.
