[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W&M is notorious for grade deflation. [/quote]
Proving yet again that it is a school that takes education seriously...[/quote]
What good does that do to students who can not get into their goal of attending medical school or top-tier graduate school? Yay, you received a top-notch undergrad education but now your grad school experience won't be as good and you won't get as good as grad school experience. Nor will you get into medical school. Oh well - top notch undergrad education!

If your goal is a top-tier graduate program, isn't it more important that your final degree comes from a higher ranked place than the degrees prior to your final degree?

What good does having a top-notch undergrad education do - and one with grade deflation - if you can't get into top-tier graduate programs for your final degree?

William & Mary does not have grade deflation.  It has grade inflation, just like all other colleges.  If you look at gradeinflation.com, you can see W&M GPAs are actually on the upper range of public universities.

There is a government (NSF) database that tracks U.S. PhDs by undergraduate institution.  Of all national public universities, William & Mary is #1 overall on a per capita basis, and #4 for STEM PhDs behind Berkeley and two more specialized schools including the Colorado School of Mines.  [/quote]
