<p>To be quite honest, I’m surprised that this topic keeps coming up, almost five years after the grading policy was passed.</p>
<p>I was a senior at Wellesley when the big brouhaha was going on and the debate about what the new grading policy should be raged amongst the students and faculty. Since the change, 4 classes have graduated from Wellesley. I could be wrong because I don’t know any specific numbers, but I doubt if there has been any sudden drop in the number of grad school/med school/law school acceptances since the 04-05 year.</p>
<p>In other words, I really wouldn’t worry about it. Grad programs and professional schools all recognize the worth of a Wellesley education. You don’t want your degree to be less meaningful if everyone, including you, had a 4.0 gpa upon graduation, would you?</p>
