Is There Really Grade Deflation at Vandy?

I don’t know it is grade deflation or the fact that (at least in my DD’s case) they make you learn and understand things…not just regurgitate it for a test. They will be as helpful as can be so long as you are helping yourself. If your GPA is all that matters choose a school where the focus on academic excellence isn’t as high. There are no easy A’s at Vandy…particulary for pre-med. My daughter is a sophomore ChE major and I don’t think she has had a “weed out” class. They are all hard and rightfully so…
