<p>Not necessarily true about the easier 4.0…there is far more grade inflation at both Harvard and Yale to the point that it has become a problem they are both starting to address. </p>
<p>UNC uses a very strict curve in most science classes which makes getting a solid A much more difficult. That said, med schools are also well aware of said curve so it doesn’t hurt on Med school admissions.</p>
<p>I certainly would not let the lack of an honors invitation get in the way of attending…you can always get in at a later date…many do just that but it also can be difficult to continue with two honors classes a semester as you advance in standing, especially if double majoring.</p>
<p>It’s been said here before but important to restate…being in honors does not mean you will graduate “with honors”…that requires writing an honors thesis and anyone can apply for that process. If you choose not to write a thesis you can still graduate “with distinction” or “with highest distinction” based on your GPA.</p>
