@@hojaeyun6747it does😂 it gives you hundreds options to do things that your interested in and make good money to buy a nice house, a nice car, and afford retirement. Also a high gpa will give you a higher role in a job application to earn money than other roles.
I read once that really expensive universities tend to give higher grades more generously. It was unclear if grades were higher because the students were more serious about their grades and tried harder or if the fact that they pay a lot of money to be there payed any part in grade inflation. If you think about it, these schools should be harder based on their reputations, but the students are still getting higher grades than at public universities.
100% grades are inflated beyond belief, but prolly not for either of your reasons. Frankly, students like getting A's, teachers look good giving them, and that's that. It's just easier for everyone. Besides, lots of students will contest every point taken off and professors don't want to bother with that. I've not heard of anyone's parent trying to influence grades, but it's perhaps because it's not needed.
Stanford classes are more intense than University of California classes. They cover more material in the same amount of time and they go deeper. The grading is more generous, but they are still covering more ground so the gpa does signify more knowledge than a UC graduate. In other words, the inflation is an accurate representation of the quality of their education conpared to public schools.
Why are you asking about this on a random channel? Stanford has a website, counselors, and people at each academic department who get paid good money to help people with questions about their school and programs. And you can ask as many questions as you need, get correct information, and possibly even be able to ask students about their experiences in the program you're interested in. Just a thought
After working in industry, college is overrated. A degree in poli. Sci. From Stanford is worth less than mech. Eng. From like ohio state But i would say skip all college degree
