FightTheTide, thank you for that informative post. Aside from being mentally debilitating, would receiving B+'s and B’s instead of A-'s have a significant effect on one’s GPA and chances at job/grad school placement, or is this change minimal since it’s happening across the board?

In addition, in regards to EEB and MOL, I have a lingering suspicion that students view EEB as the easier/less respectful of the two. Is that true? And is it possible to be pre-med as an EEB student (I know you can theoretically major in whatever, but is med school a popular option for most of the people you know who are in EEB?)
