<p>For any current students, how would you describe the grading process at Macalester? Is there a lot of grade inflation/deflation? How difficult is it to receive good grades? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Lol, don't trip over yourselves rushing to answer!</p>
<p>I suggest visiting the macalester website and finding the ask a student section</p>
<p>they are probably much more likely to respond when directly approached like that</p>

<p>honestly, it varies a lot from class to class. In one of my classes, I felt there was grade inflation above what was typical at an average college/university; on the other hand, the information was very very challenging, and no one (prior to that point) had been earning an A. In another class, there was grade deflation, not to the point that it was impossible, but it was quite difficult. It depends a lot on the major, and on the level of classes you're taking.</p>
