Worried about grade deflation

<p>@sarr1166 Did your professor curve? Most do. If that is the case and 33 is average then you are just above average compared to all the other students in your class, sorry to inform you of that fact. And what score did those with the highest grades get? If they got 80’s and 90’s why didn’t you… oh right the professor deflated your grade not theirs??</p>

<p>BU attracts VERY SMART kids. My DD who has never had a C in her life is heading for her first as a Freshman at BU. She never complained about the grading or her professors being demanding or grade deflation ( and I am a PROUD parent of a great kid for not doing so) Her only comment to me was THE KIDS HERE ARE ALL SO SMART!!!</p>

<p>That’s exactly what my Senior son at W&M (another notorious grade-deflating school) said to me when he realized to get above a 3.2 ( their Average CUM of students there) he decided to quit running cross country to spend more time on his studies.</p>

<p>To the OP if you think high grades will get you into Med School and a school’s reputation and rigor of a program does not help prepare you for a career in medicine or medical school, not matter, why not apply to a local collage where you are the smartest kid in the class again like you were in high school.</p>
