<p>I want everyone to define harvard in 3 words. </p>
<p>Big Cold school.</p>
<p>really hard school no point in going there if you want to go to a graduate school you would be happier at a state school.</p>
<p>20 words.</p>
<p>^^ what is he talking about? lol MAJOR grade inflation at good ol' Harvard compared to schools like cornell or u of c</p>
<p>ixjunitxi, is that so? interesting. I never knew? Where do you get your info? Are you a Harvard student? Grad schools know this, don't they? So a high GPA from Harvard wouldn't be as impressive as a high GPA from UChicago?</p>
<p>high GPAs at harvard are still incredibly hard to get... it is not grade inflation, it is just a really talented and ambitious group of kids. those with a high gpa deserve it.</p>
<p>Uchicago is known as a school that still grades to a C average, I believe.</p>
<p>Harvard has reportedly recently tightened up the grading curves, but I don't know what the new averages are, vs averages that have past practices factored in. I know last year's freshman class didn't feel there were many or easy A's, and midyear the parents got a form letter from the freshman dean to reassure them about the C's and D's, not to mention B's, adorning their children's transcripts....</p>
<p>1) Opportunities 2) Education 3) People</p>
<p>All of them are just like Harvard - The Best.</p>
