<p>I got accepted to CAS and was worried how hard it is to get a GPA of 3.8, considering the fact that I’ll also be jumping into a $200,000 pool of debt when I graduate. I’m planning to study something in the sciences and might apply to medical school. Is this all worth it?</p>
<p>There was a survey done in the 1990s that rated grade inflation at several schools. I forgot the link but I remember that NYU was ranked above average (meaning it’s a bit easier).</p>
<p>However, you should not be borrowing $200k for undergraduate. People say you will easily make it back but that’s not the case anymore. Undergraduate degrees used to be rare because few people went to college; now, a lot of people attend and it makes the degrees worth less.</p>
<p>To answer your question, it’s easier than most other schools to get a 3.8 but it’s not worth the $200k debt.</p>
<p>(I wanted to attend NYU because of the grade inflation but I got rejected 
)</p>
<p>I think it is insane to willingly take on $200,000 debt for an undergraduate education. I would be shocked if you do not regret this. Do you have other choices?</p>
<p>It’s not hard at all if you are decently intelligent and learn to pick your professors wisely (rate my prof). 200k debt is kinda a killer…i go to nyu and if u r gonna go into that much of a debt i’d srsly not recommend you to go there. Do you have any scholarship?..</p>
