<p>To help out my GPA over the summer I’m planning on:</p>
<ol>
<li>Looking up professors with highest “Easiness” rating</li>
<li>Cross reference with any UC transferable GE courses on summer schedule</li>
<li>Enroll as needed</li>
</ol>
<p>What are your personal opinions on acts like this aiding students in the transfer process? Big help, tips-the-scale, or no tangible benefit? </p>
<p>If I were going through applications, I’d look to the student’s GPA, make sure the core courses were acceptably high, and look to the essays/EC’s/Experience to differentiate between applicants. I don’t think, after comparing student GPAs, I’d correct for booster-class inflation. Unfortunately though, I might label students taking obvious helper-courses as grade grubbers.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
