<p>Agreed with the earlier posters. I’ve come to really appreciate the UChicago student body’s philosophy on taking classes here. They tend to challenge themselves to the max, and that’ why this school has a reputation for “grade deflation”. The ordinary classes here are probably no more difficult than courses at peer schools. I think it’s alright, though, to take a couple easy filler classes to keep the GPA up while you’re really challenging yourself in major classes. It’s unfortunate that employers don’t reward taking the highest level coursework and instead prefer an inflated GPA. With the influx of more pre-professional conscious students, posts such as these have got to be expected.</p>
