Grade Deflation or Inflation?

<p>My D knows 2 people that got a 4.0 in Engineering (Engineering School) their first semester, as well as someone in PAM and Human Biology Health and Society/Pre-Med that ALL got 4.0’s their first semester. She didn’t know anyone who got a 4.0 taking all social sciences in CAS because A’s are harder to get than A- in those classes. </p>

<p>As Zenzic said, your grades will depend largely on your capabilities and of course, your effort.</p>
