Im curious about BC's curve too. Is it very difficult to stay right above median? Someone told me since most eevryone end up in the middle, you have to seriously slack off to graduate bottom quarter or half of the class.
I am confused by your question. By definition, half of the class will be above the median and 25% will be in the bottom quarter of the class. So it is not any easier or harder than any other school. If what you mean is, is it hard to got what one would consider a "poor" grade, then yes, that is true since only 15% get B- or lower. The 1st year curve at BC is as follows: 10% A, 15% A-, 25%B+, 35%B, 10% B-, 5% C+ (or lower). There is some discretion with the curve (a prof. can give more B's and cut out on the high and low ends if they want for example). The curve goes up for smaller classes (which is a lot of what you take 2nd/3rd year)
