[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were on a tour of Swarthmore and the student tour guide told us that they call a B at Swarthmore "an A anywhere else" [/quote] So many schools say that and it's always self-important bull crap. The average GPA of Swarthmore graduates in 2013 was 3.56. I'm sure it's only increased since then as grade inflation has become more rampant. A's are no harder to come by at Swarthmore than at Bucknell. https://www.gradeinflation.com/Swarthmore.html[/quote] Maybe, but I think the more telling was the tour guide’s obvious stress around their grades We visited other similar LACs and did not get that vibe [/quote] The others are selling you a different product, but it is all the same. Some colleges just pretend to be chill to attract a student body (looking at you Pomona), and others are just not as self-obsessed with being described as rigorous as Swarthmore is.[/quote]
