It’s not uncommon for someone’s graduate gpa to be higher than his/her undergraduate gpa. I’ve heard of the occasional true stories of people who had a 3.2 undergrad and then a 3.7 in grad school, or even more surprising, someone with a 2.95 undergrad who still managed to get into grad school and there got a 3.95 gpa.

But have any of you had the opposite experience, with your grad gpa being lower than your undegrad gpa?

In grad school, one is expected to get at least a B in every class. But do any of you go to a school where professors have no qualms about giving out something lower?

What has been your experience?
