College Search & Selection

<p>I thought my dream school was Smith... until I visited Bryn Mawr. Now I absolutely cannot decide. Because I want to go to business school, I really want a high GPA. I heard that Bryn Mawr has grade deflation, will this ruin my GPA and chances of going to a good grad school? Likewise, how is Smith's grading?</p>

<p>I don’t think Smith has grade inflation. That said, I’d suggest focusing on the school that’s the best match for you, instead of focusing on grading policy. You could also look at each school’s career office and see what support they have for students interested in business school. For example, if you search for “getting an MBA” on the Smith web site, you’ll find their guide to getting an MBA.</p>

<p>Bryn Mawr’s grading is definitely rigorous and you have to really push to get an A. That said, getting an A makes it that much more meaningful. Lots of students go on to prestigious graduate and medical schools. I think the rigor of your academic preparation says a lot about you to admissions counselors. Bryn Mawr also offers several popular business certificate programs: <a href=“http://www.brynmawr.edu/businessworkshops/[/url]”>http://www.brynmawr.edu/businessworkshops/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
