Hey everyone I've been hearing about how ivy league schools inflate their student's stats in order to keep thier rank up. Is this true and do post bacc students benefit from this? Let me spin this another way, would you say the rigor of a postbac program such as the MA program at Midwestern would be as tough as UPenns?Thoughts..............

I've not heard the grade inflation but i didnt go to an ivy as a UGrad.

Post-bac grade inflation is class specific - I am at Penn, and 1/3 of one of my core classes got Cs of some form. Not really grade inflation.

Then again some classes most ppl get B+ or better

Its class specific.

And whether or not you should do an SMP or a Penn's SSP is very case specific and depends on your GPAs

Some of the ivies have grade inflation, Penn historically isn't one of them.

nah there's not a lot of grade inflation at all

I hope the OP realizes that he's comparing a DO SMP (graduate GPA) against that of UPenn's SSP which will affect UG gpa instead.
