<p>You will get a higher GPA at USC, </p>
<p>Unfortunately the economics dept at UCLA does not believe in grade inflation. Everything is graded on a curve, A’s are usually reserved for top 25% at UCLA. </p>
<p>quick example: I took Economics 103 (Econometrics), my raw score for the class was a B-, however since it was a tough class the curve bumped my grade to a B+</p>
<p>In Economic 122 (International Finance), my raw score was an A, however since the class was easy and everyone else did so good I got a B+.</p>
