Yes I admit it depends on the course. But that is pretty much true for all other top tier institutions rumoured to have high grade inflation isn’t it? Anyways what I wanted to discuss is that Cornell isn’t super die hard as it is rumoured to be or at least the perception I have received so far. As a rising senior I was at first turned off from applying to Cornell but grade wise it seems really manageable to get a 3.8-4.0 at Cornell. As a future pre-med-er I am really curious and a bit worried about this. Are high gpas really that rare for a science major?
