Emory is grade inflated and the B-school pre-requisites are just easy (or just the latter as I imagine some profs. for B-school pre-reqs don’t curve). For example, many of the economics professors are easy. They also get to take business calculus which is easier than 111/112 (which they are also allowed to take) or 115/116 (the life science series). So, basically, their grades are composed of B-School pre-reqs and Emory GERs (which will be mostly non-science, and even if they included a science, they can choose easier non-major science courses. Nonetheless, even those classes probably end up being harder than the non-science courses they take. This may be where some Bs come from). I can’t really even think of where any of the B grades that make for a 3.5 come from. Perhaps many students are actually choosing harder econ. profs (at the intermediate level maybe) or they must also take a couple of pre-reqs in the B-school itself which curve grades so 65% of the class gets B+ or lower.
