I heard that in some schools, there is grade inflation...that is, it's really hard to get in, but once you get in, there's like NO WORK...and it's really EASY to get good grades. I know Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have grade inflation like this...what are some other schools that has this?

Are you in need of constant praise or do you think graduate schools don't know where the best students are coming from, straight-A's or no?

Schools that aren't like this: Wash U, U of Chicago, Cornell, MIT, Cal Tech, and Rice. These schools aren't necessarily easy to get into, but they certainly have a high workload and do not resort to grade inflation (at least not as heavily as the big three listed above). I've also heard good things about some liberal arts colleges like Amherst and Weslayen.

Weird, I'm applying to two of those. I'm macoshistic (so I can't speel).

HYP all have grade inflation but they are by no means easy...You still have to work your ass off.

All good schools require a lot of work.
