How Challenging of an Academic Environment is GW?

Some schools are known for grade inflation, while others are known for being notoriously hard to actually get an A. Where does GW rank on that spectrum from your experience?

Based on my D’s experience, its not hard to get an A, but you really have to work for it. So its somewhere in the middle of the road, but I will let the actual students who hang out here answer :slight_smile:

Based upon my experience, it’s generally in the middle of that spectrum. Certain classes will be difficult to obtain an ‘A,’ but you can usually figure that out ahead of time using RateMyProfessor. “Easy A” type classes exist, but in my experience were usually electives. You still have to put some time in, though- nothing is ever given.
