GPA at Boston University

Hi everyone!

So I got accepted to BU few days ago! I’m super excited.
I’ll major in Physics, and I’m planning to continue it at the graduate level for a PhD.

I like BU, however, from what I read online i’m really scared about grades deflation.
Is it really that HARD to keep an excellent GPA at BU? When I say excellent I mean good enough to be competitive for top uni for graduate school in physics (UCSB, Umich, Cornell, MIT, UCLA, UCB etc etc)

I’m a very good and focused student, and I love physics. I’ve never had any difficulty studying it, and I also attended some college courses and always got As.

Would it be different at Bu?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

You should look at the % of students that get into graduate schools in physics! If its not available on the website I’m sure you can email someone to find out.
