<p>This is one of the most worrisome aspects of BU for me, grade inflation is certainly making me think twice about going if I am admitted. Are grad schools aware of this system and do they take it into consideration when you apply?</p>
<p>I would have to say that many graduate schools are unaware of the grading system at BU. Although, in my experience in SMG(I’m a current student), I haven’t heard any terribly gruesome stories. I would say the average gpa in SMG is probably somewhere around a 3.0-3.3. </p>
<p>Once in an interview, my interviewer told me how she has to defend BU candidates to upper management since many did not understand that a 3.3 or 3.4 at BU was equivalent to a 3.6 or 3.7 at schools such at Bentley, Babson, etc. This was just one employer… so be wary!</p>
