Villanova VS Boston University For IB
I am planning on transferring to one of these schools. Which is best for IB? I’m leaning towards Villanova but I think BU has a good rep.

BU has notorious grade deflation (pretty sure this extends to Questrom). Villanova’s Wildcat Fund is legit, don’t think BU has a comparable equivalent.
What does grade deflation mean in this case?
Classes intentionally limit how many A’s and A minuses can be given regardless of students’ absolute performance. BU and by extension Questrom (assuming you’re gonna major in business) have long-established reputations for grade deflation, meaning getting good grades and having a high GPA for recruiting could be more challenging.
This is a myth. If every student in a class, for some reason, gets an A, they will all finish with an A. Grade deflation does not exist. If anything, MANY Questrom classes curve (and generously).

Maybe grade deflation is a myth at Questrom or BU or whatever but it definitely isn't in general - even grading 'normally' today seems like deflation when other schools are subtly lowering their standards and pumping out more 4.0's
