<p>What is the average grade for the business classes?</p>
<p>And how hard are the courses here in general, compared to other schools of similar rank?</p>
<p>You occasionally hear the term “b-school preschool”, because the classes are perceived as easier, plus they often don’t have class on Fridays. Still, it doesn’t mean that b-school students don’t work hard. However, the average GPA might be around a 3.4-5 as opposed to an engineering GPA.</p>
<p>It’s hard for one to say how hard the classes are compared to other schools, bar a transfer student. They’re certainly harder than summer courses I took at a “lower” school. Still, seems kinda shallow and pedantic as a means to compare two schools.</p>
<p>Upper level finance classes are the only thing that’s probably considered hard at the business school, and even that is considered easy versus engineering (I know a bunch of double major engineers and finance).</p>
<p>They’re not hard compared to pre-med but they’re not easy. To give you an idea, my daughter had a hard time with statistics I so she tried to to take statistics II over the summer at another school. She submitted syllabi from 3 schools and the material in their statistics II classes were totally covered in wash U’s statistics I. So Wash U was covering twice the material as for example Rutgers.</p>
