<p>I am leaning towards Yale for undergraduate studies. Does anyone know what I should expect that would be different there? Is grade inflation really the way it is made out to be? Is it a good idea to go to Yale if I plan on pursuing medicine? I have heard of grade forgiveness at other schools and want to hear if the same goes on for Yale - and to what extent. Also, does this grade forgiveness stem from the fact that the grade distribution is harsh at Yale (because students dont fit on the normal curve)?</p>

<p>It would be awesome if someone who goes there now could let me know how the science classes are etc.</p>

<p>Some help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>And bluedevilmike (and a couple others), you always come ready with the stats man.</p>

<p>What are your choices? Accepted at Yale vs accepted at what other schools?</p>

<p>Grade inflation at Yale is typical for the Ivies – I believe Sakky has the stats on this. A degree from Yale carries some weight if you should choose not to pursue medicine and the Yale degree will not hurt for med school.</p>

<p>well i was accepted to yale and decided to not send in my apps for gtown, penn, emory, GW. i have applied to yale, brown PLME and university of maryland.</p>

<p>if i get into PLME the decision will be tough but I will probably go to Brown. If UMD tosses a boatload of money at me, the decision will also be tough to go to UMD. If these two situations dont occur, then I will probably go to Yale.</p>
