GPA inflation/deflation

<p>what kind of gpa policy does Umass Amherst have? </p>

<p>Is it easy to have a 3.8+ gpa (if going to be pre-dent or pre-med where there are a lot of science courses)? Or is there a deflation policy?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say that there’s rampant grade inflation, but theres definitely not grade deflation. I’m a science major (although not pre-dent or pre-med) and got a 3.7 my first semester without doing a large amount of studying.</p>
