[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the exception of a few elite schools like Princeton and MIT that still give actual grades it is the only place where students compete. Everybody gets As and A-s, so the average GPA for the school is a 3.8 and it becomes the future employers job to sort out the wheat from the chaff. [/quote] Many T25 schools give real grades. Go look at FB/Reddit/CC for northwestern---the first 2 years of chem are brutal, along with the general engineering sequence. Former 4.0UW/12+ AP kids are struggling to get B's. It's the same at many elite schools. [/quote] Northwestern is a little behind the curve but most likely over 3.6 by now https://www.gradeinflation.com/Northwestern.html [/quote] Not in engineering/STEM/Premed....those scores might be raised by theater/music/general LA majors, but certainly not the others. Kids with 4.0UW in HS struggle to get B's in freshman chem and the general eng sequence[/quote]
