<p>Just a quick note, having transferred to Brown from another top school, I recognize that the grading system here is kind of ridiculous (I love it, and most don’t “abuse” it, but you certainly could), but not nearly to the extent that people in this thread are suggesting.</p>
<p>I’ve never met anyone taking all their classes pass fail, I’ve never met anyone even taking more than one of their classes pass fail, and many if they are taking pass fail classes, are taking an overload. The breakdown of grades is not 56/43 A/B as someone said, though it is still very high. The average GPA is 3.6 as was said though.</p>
