[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. My junior does not want to apply to schools that are "reaches" for him because he wants to go to grad school, and he thinks he'll get a higher GPA at a less competitive (for him) school. My view is that grad schools take each college and it's grading policies into account (at least I hope they do), so he should be focused on where he'll get the best education. To me, part of a great education is being challenged by peers who are brighter than you, so I will continue to encourage some reaches![/quote] Your son is right. Grad schools, especially med schools, want 4.0s whether at MIT or UVA. It sucks.[/quote]
