<p>I've heard the horror stories about grade deflation, but mostly from life sci and engineering students. I'm thinking of going to UTSG and specializing in the BSc in Linguistics & Computing, because it's the only program of its kind in Canada. After, I would like to go to grad school, probably in the States, for Computational Linguistics. </p>
<p>How prominent are bell curves in linguistics, computer science, math/statistics, philosophy, and language courses? These will be the ones I take, and I'm wondering how feasible a good GPA is (say, 3.4+) for someone who has a solid work ethic and achieved mid-high 90s marks in high school. Would I be better off going to McGill or UBC and double majoring in linguistics and CS?</p>
