<p>Yeah, I’ve read that thread…I guess my question was poorly phrased. I was hoping for comments about whether or not it makes a noticeable impact on how students are around each other–does everyone get more competitive? do people resent it?–as opposed to the graduate school side of grade deflation, which I’m really not all that worried about. I’ve been subjected to a lot of comments about how Wellesley women are really, intensely competitive…and, while competition with myself is the way I am, I absolutely hate tons of competition with peers. I’ve had to put up with a decent amount of person-person competition in high school, and I frankly don’t want it to feature so prominently in my college experience. So, re-phrasing my question: Does grade deflation affect the community or collaboration in classes too much? </p>
<p>Sorry for the mix-up, I’m really trying to not be too repetitive! Thanks :)</p>
