How to Coast Through Cornell v1.1, Now with Easy to Understand Graphics!
Munier Salem ’10, who previously broke down where Cornellians are from, has made an infographic for the visualization of median grades by both department and course.
Salem uses the median grade report from Fall ’09, so Spring courses and other courses not offered that semester are not included. The infographic is especially helpful now that it appears the median grade reports are no longer available online from the Registrar (or, at least, the Registrar’s links are broken).
Salem’s data visualization confirms what most of us already knew, that hard sciences are, well, harder than social sciences or business-oriented programs. But IvyGate picked up this tidbit that may save the much (unfairly?) maligned Hotelies from future criticism, “Actually, fewer than 30% of classes in the Cornell School of Hotel Administration have a median grade of A- or higher. In fact, 1.6% of our classes had a B- median grade! Can you believe that? …. don’t push me that way!”
