<p>Poli sci dept is one of the best in the country</p>
<p>i don't know, i haven't gotten in yet.. but from what i read, it seems relatively easy. plus, rochester gives a lot of aid, thankfully. considering that not long ago, you could get merit aid simply by having above a 1350 SAT (i hear that's not the case anymore, tho), it's easier to get than at some colleges of the same prestige.. most, i'd even say</p>
<p>I am in the polisci department and while its hard, it is top notch... It's small yet it yields a lot of research...</p>
<p>Is there a bell curve in social science courses?</p>
<p>In my personal experience of one course so far, yes... The curve is extremely restrictive... Only 5 A range grades out of a class of 75 students</p>
<p>idk about the social science courses, but i heard from some current students that it does give quite a bit of money. i would think coming from all the corporate companies in the area. i mean, come on, the headquarters of like every company are there like kodak, zerox, etc. hopefully, they give me a good portion of their wealth! lol.</p>
