[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivies take the top couple percent of kids--I don't think it's grade inflation that they will mainly earn As. More like appropriate benchmarking. So I think this is kind of a dumb question.[/quote] This.[/quote] Not this. Yale, for example, allows last minute withdrawal from any course. Well utilized to protect gpa. Survivorship bias anyone?[/quote] If students are allowed to withdrawal from any course last minute, not many should be graduating in 4 yrs. If a hypothetical student withdraws 1 course per semester, that's 8 courses to make up at the end of 4 years. That's a full year, 2 semesters, to make up. Assuming the student withdraws 1 class each during the 5th year, that's an extra summer or a part-time semester the 6th year. [/quote] Only 88% of Yale students graduate in 4 years.[/quote]
