I was curious as to how inflated/deflated grading was at Rice. For all those who are currently attending, would you say many of your classes are “saved by the curve” or strictly adhered to a set standard regardless of difficulty (i.e. WASHU, UMich, ivies). As many of you know boosting the GPA is one the key factors into getting into competitive med/grad schools, so I’m looking into the difficulty of Rice’s grading standards.
