<p>In terms of grades, which schools would you recommend, or even rank (highest meaning the greatest grade DEflation):</p>
<p>NYU, McGill, Queen's, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, St. Andrew's University (Scotland)?</p>
<p>What does grade deflation mean??</p>
<p>Grade deflation basically means they don't inflate your grade- that is, they put the class average at something lower like a B- or C instead of B or A-.</p>
<p>Yeah, sorry for not explaining that. Thanks warblersrule86.</p>
<p>So what would you say?</p>
<p>I'm not familiar with the grading policies of all of them. NYU has grade inflation. McGill doesn't exactly have grade deflation, but the average grade is a B or B-, which is relatively low. Queen's is notorious for grade deflation, and Toronto has been adopting stricter policies to curb grade inflation. I'm not at all sure about UBC or St. Andrews.</p>
<p>Thanks. I also heard that UofT probably has the greatest grade deflation in Canada. St. Andrew's I have the impression isn't really affected by that. UBC I actually haven't heard anything about.</p>
<p>Although you say McGill doesn't have grade deflation per se, I think it's a bit obnoxious of them to never give A+'s as part of their policy. In a way that says a lot about their attitude.</p>
<p>I know everybody keeps on saying that Grad Schools will know that McGill and most of the other Canadian universities are harsher on the grades. But even if so, if I want to work before Grad School or just even get a summer internship, it won't look as good to have a 3.5 GPA (although it might've been extremely hard to earn it), when you're competing with students from other universities who have like a 3.8. Any thoughts on that?</p>
<p>lots of classes at W&M are curved to C+ or B-</p>
