<p>How hard is GWU academically? I mean, is it hard to get A's compared to other schools? I know that Boston U. has some grade deflation which hurts students when it come to Grad school admissions.</p>
<p>Depends on the school. I was in the business school for a year; it wasn't hard as all. Columbian College is pretty hard IMO. Pre-med/math/science are extremely tough. Soc and psych are much easier.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say there's grade deflation as much as here is a lack of <em>inflation</em> (unlike other private schools). Professors don't just hand out A's or B's; it is absolutely necessary to attend class / do your homework / study... but then again, most people know that the academics are pretty tough going in, and that's one of the reasons we love the school :-)</p>
