<p>How is the grading curve at Wash U./ Olin Business school. Is there deflation?</p>
<p>Yeah, can someone tell me about their pre-med grades too? I’m curious to know whether or not I can survive if I enroll here. I love WashU, but I need good grades to get into med school. I’m not the best test taker, so I’m wondering if that’s going to be a problem. If anyone can help, that’d be great!</p>
<p>I posted this on the questions thread, but I’ll post it here too:</p>
<p>“I believe that every class I’ve taken so far has been graded on a curve - thus the ease of earning an A depends at least partially on the competence of your classmates. I can’t speak for Olin, but premed courses are quite difficult - they teach a lot of information, and they expect you to know it all for the tests. There is no graded homework, so the tests (or labs) are your only grades. It takes hard work and dedication - you cannot simply blow it off and expect to get a good grade. That being said, if washu accepts you, then they believe you are capable of succeeding at washu. Acceptances aren’t random (contrary to appearances), and chances are that you can do well here if you put effort into it.”</p>
<p>Grade inflation is in fact a “thing” at most of the highly regarded instititions around the country because they need to maintain acceptances to premier grad schools and receive good job offers. Most people probably get A’s and B’s and nothing lower</p>
