[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from a parent of JHU freshman that it’s brutal. I think they were BME, but switched majors already and still struggling. The average class gpa is 3.4 and the kid despite going to all office hours, using all available tutoring, studying 12/day still can barely get a B in the hardest classes. The grade deflation is real.

I'm sorry, but this is really unlikely. Perhaps you got wrong info from your friend, PP, but it's hard to believe a BME admit is going to struggle to that degree in a less demanding major, even a STEM major. And no, the grade deflation is not that bad at JHU these days.

There are some admits who struggle because they came to a selective college very unprepared, for whatever reason. However, the BME program is quite selective and they tend to screen applicants pretty well. I really doubt your friend's kid was a BME major. [/quote]

My bad, they are chemical engineering major. 
I’m pretty sure the average gpa in her class was either [b]3.4 or 3.5[/b] and her was just 0.1 above average.

So this shows the she wasn’t an outlier who came unprepared. I know that girl, she is extremely accomplished and studied extremely hard in high school.
