<p>I was accepted and currently am planning to attend BU in the fall of 09. I was accepted into their college of arts and sci. I will take their premed courses and intend to be a bio and psyh major. I’ve been reading a lot about grade deflation here at BU. I’ve actualy heard about it many times actually.
-----Can anyone comment on grade deflation here at BU?</p>
<p>-----As long as I work hard will it still affect me? Like it doesn’t make sense why a teacher would give a student a D or C if she/he master all the required work. </p>
<p>Would that grade deflation hurt my chances of getting into med school or would name and rigor of the courses off set the potentialy low GPA?</p>
<p>I have an article about this because I have heard a lot about it also,</p>

Bit old but still relevant.</p>
<p>nikon, there are a gazillion threads about this topic. It’s not an issue and a number of other schools are tarred with this same silly brush. </p>
<p>BTW, I remember finding info that says the average is slightly higher now than in this article. </p>
<p>And the question that usually comes with this one is whether it’s possible to get all A’s. The answer is yes, if you consider A- an A. It’s possible to get all A’s - no minus - in any given semester but the odds of doing that consistently are low.</p>
<p>If you work hard and ace your exams, do everything else you’re suppose to then grade deflation, inflation and everything else will be irrelevant. A prof isn’t going to give you anything but an A if you get 90s on all your exams and papers.</p>
<p>Anyone else care to share some comments about this?</p>
<p>When I say there are a gazillion threads, that’s an invitation to use the search function.</p>
<p>Do you think it should be a considering factor of why or why I don’t go to BU?</p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>To make 10 chars: no, no, no, no.</p>
<p>18,000 undergrads didn’t let it change their minds.</p>
