<p>Is it true that being in honor college means that more classes will be curved higher?</p>
<p>Will this lead to having an easier time getting a higher GPA?</p>
<p>2nd, after freshmen year, if I were to go to the Ross business school for BBA, does my freshmen year GPA follow me to sophomore year? Or will being in Ross reset my GPA back to 0 and start off with a new Ross GPA?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I believe so.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. You will be with smarter students in addition to having a higher curve. The two are theoretically supposed to balance each other out.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Resets.</p>
<p>ahh thank you! </p>
<p>So technically since I am a pre-admit to Ross, I could just slack off a bit and get a 3.3 GPA and it wouldn’t matter as the kid who worked his butt off to get a 3.8 since when we reach ross by sophomore year, we will both start out at the same level?</p>
<p>Doesn’t your LSA GPA stay with you even if u get into Ross? Or does the cumulative GPA reset itself?</p>
<p>You don’t have to work your butt off for a 3.8…</p>
<p>yea im still curious about whether the LSA GPA follows the student into Ross or whether the cumulative GPA entirely resets</p>
<p>honors is a joke. Most honors classes give out As like candies</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ross requires pre-admits to maintain a certain GPA. I would make sure you do well enough to meet that minimum (and by that I mean shoot for higher than the minimum to be careful).</p>
<p>

<p>
</p>
<p>I wasn’t lying when I said “Resets.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Who doesn’t have to work their butt off for a 3.8? You? The OP? The average person at U of M? Shut up.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For whom is it a joke? You? The OP? The average person at U of M? </p>
<p>Have you taken “most honors classes”? I won’t say “shut up” to you because there’s a chance your statement wasn’t quite as egregious false.</p>
<p>^
Well, there are some honors classes that are easy and some that are hard. I don’t know if “most” are easy or just “some”, but as bearcats has said earlier, he looks for easy ls&a classes to pad his engineering gpa, so the comment should be expected.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh I certainly wasn’t surprised by the comment. I just feel the need to keep him in check for the sake of ignorant high schoolers/freshmen.</p>
<p>keep me in check? who the **** do you think you are?</p>
<p>anyway, my point is, honors classes try to inflate their curve to compensate for “higher caliber competition”, but they way overdid it and turned classes into complete jokes. Pretty similar to Harvard’s thinking of “everyone we admit is high caliber, so over 70% of our graduating classes graduate with honors”</p>

<p>Someone to bring back down to earth your sometimes outlandish comments that don’t apply to the average student</p>
