Public vs. Private

<p>I was browsing through Yahoo news, and they had this interesting article about grade inflation and average GPA comparisons between public and private schools. </p>

<p>The article was from NY Times and it even went on to say "the admission officers at graduate schools are fooled by higher GPA's from private institutions" (paraphrased). </p>

<p>So people, how hard is it exactly to achieve a good GPA at a UC as opposed to private schools? Or better yet, how difficult is it to get good grades in a UC? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I went to a private school (St. Mary’s College of California) and the grades were SOO inflated… and it was SO small, i felt like I was in high school. Moral of the story, save yourself 30 grand a year and get a better education that you have to work a little harder at haha</p>
