<p>Here’s an article on Stanford premeds taking summer classes at Santa Clara university hoping to get an A to boost their GPA.</p>

<p>Dr. Letteer is a great instructor with a great reputation for making physics understandable for non-physics majors. It’s not just for the ‘easy A’ it is also a matter of economics…the summer program is a lot less expensive than taking it at Stanford.</p>
<p>I’m not complaining. I would do the same thing.</p>
<p>Whats the point of going to Stanford in the first place?</p>
<p>^Lol can you read? It’s a summer class.</p>
<p>^Lol can you think? His point was that if you spend all this money over four years to get a Stanford education, why deliberately duck challenging courses and take them somewhere else, defeating the entire idea of getting a superior education.</p>
<p>^Lol can you stop stalking me? Maybe they’ll take harder classes during the fall/spring terms.</p>
<p>Everyone knows that the quality of education is the same, give or take. Students go to Stanford for reputation and connections.</p>

<p>read the article, no need for outside speculation of ‘oh they’ll do this and that next semester’. it clearly quotes students, as well as a professor, in saying they are taking it for the easy A. and what the previous person meant was what is the point of going to a university that is known for its science departments just to go to another uni to take the easy way out.</p>
<p>I still don’t see what’s the point in getting worked up over a summer class…meh w/e</p>
