[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grades matter in grad/phd admissions. Kids gotta passed the PhD qualifying exams to continue and the exam is different from school/program. Mine had written exam covering all the core engineering undergrad classes followed my an oral exam. Undergrad grades matter.[b] Generally good engineering schools are grade deflation because it is graded on a curve where only about 20% get As. [/b][/quote] No, that’s backwards. Curves are used to boost the grades *up* from very low scores. [/quote]
