[quote=Anonymous]One thing about Dartmouth - besides the fast pace of the quarter system (which another poster spoke about), there are also enforced medians in many departments. So for example, with most Econ classes having a B or B+ enforced median, it means that half the kids will end up a grade above that, and half below. That median also shows up on their transcript, along with a summary of how many classes you were at, above, or below median. So there are no easy As. Those classes/departments usually handle the enforced median by making the material difficult enough or by curving down (e.g. you need a 97 to have an A). [/quote]
