<p>This topic of conversation comes up periodically: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1151390-grade-deflation-vandy.html?highlight=deflation[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1151390-grade-deflation-vandy.html?highlight=deflation</a> I agree with those who say it’s school- and major-dependent. I also agree with Vandy3023:
The professors were always enthusiastic about helping my daughter whenever she asked, either for guidance on a future assignment or pointing out how an exam could have been improved. My d enjoyed being a double major (poli sci and classical languages), and thought that the poli sci grading was more forgiving than the classics, econ, and math/science classes she took.</p>
<p>There’s great support at Vandy for students who seek it out, from faculty, administration (excellent advising for post-undergrad options) and other students (a cooperative, not cut-throat, atmosphere).</p>
