<p>Do math majors have to deal with the same type of grade deflation engineering majors suffer from?</p>
<p>Well the grades aren’t really subjective. If you know your stuff it can be very easy. It depends on the abilities of the students and the grading of the profs though. Some might curve and some might not. In an abstract algebra class I took I know people who scored in the 70s on the midterm and still got an AB. Many other people didn’t even manage 50%.</p>
<p>When you get to graduate school, I don’t really think anybody cares about grades that much anymore. Its about the quality research papers that you are able to write.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you need to get good grades yet though. At wisconsin it says masters and phd students need to “Maintain a grade point average of 3.3 or better in mathematics and cross listed courses.” Most don’t have any problem with that from what I’ve seen.</p>
<p>Sorry I was a little unclear,
I’m looking into law school so potential GPA is a very impt factor.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses so far. Anybody else?</p>
