Columbia Grades and Grade Inflation

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I was recently accepted as a transfer to Columbia, and I have a tough decision to make whether to transfer or stay at USC (current school). As a pre-med student, I need to keep my grades up; however, I am unsure as to how difficult science classes are at Columbia. I have also heard that some Ivy League schools do have decent grade inflation, but I am not sure if Columbia does.</p>

<p>My questions are: Do you have any insight into the difficulty of getting good grades in Columbia's science, specifically pre-med, classes? Also, does Columbia experience grade inflation like other Ivy League schools?</p>

<p>Yes Columbia does have grade inflation, which helps out its premed students greatly (based on what I hear on here; I can’t know for certain since I only go to one school).</p>
