<p>EA Dad, you’re right that I should probably amend my statement at least about med school/sciences. </p>
<p>But grade inflation in humanities and social sciences at UNC is pretty bad. In fact, Andrew Perrin, a sociology professor, has been leading a charge to address it within the faculty council. A’s are the most prevalent grade at UNC and over 80% of all grades are As and Bs, according to this article: <a href=“Chapel Hill Campus Takes On Grade Inflation - The New York Times”>Chapel Hill Campus Takes On Grade Inflation - The New York Times; </p>
<p>My own experience in the humanities/social sciences at UNC confirmed that making As often doesn’t require much effort. I know I definitely have friends in math/science who are smarter than me and also work twice as hard as me and get worse grades. </p>
<p>Sorry to get so far off-topic. For the record, I think your honors program advice is spot on.</p>
