<p>what's the curve like..........deflated? inflated?</p>
<p>i've heard princeton deflates grade while harvard inflates</p>
<p>where does penn, wharton specifically fall?</p>
<p>I think Wharton just flates.</p>
<p>bump.....whats grading like at wharton</p>
<p>the "core" classes (intro acctounting, finance, marketing, management, opim) have a curve that is determined at the end of the semester based on the cumulative grades.. a lot of people freak out about the "curve", but its really not that bad!</p>
<p>basically the mean is curved to B, so most people get in the B range and if you do about a standard deviation above the mean you're in the A range.</p>
<p>often the curve can be good.. for example, in OPIM the mean for the final is around 55%, so if you get a 70% you're in the A range.</p>
<p>vballgrl - is it very difficult to keep a high gpa?</p>
<p>what do u think the average gpa of a wharton student is?</p>
<p>wharton classes are ********, on the whole. that means curves are tough to keep otherwise lame material competitive.</p>
<p>knicks10, the gpa is really only relevant when compared to other wharton graduates, so your question is kinda pointless</p>
