<p>I remember someone posting a study that had been done by Berkeley's law school evaluating the difficulty of obtaining an "A" at various schools across the country (both public and private). If a school received above a score of 68, it was deemed acceptable. Below a 68 meant that the school has grade inflation.</p>
<p>Anyone know where I can find this list?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Uh, that study was not the difficulty of obtaining an "A" at various schools. Not exactly. </p>
<p>Rather, it was about the meaning of an A (or any GPA for that matter) in the context of Berkeley's law school. For example, just because a school grades harshly, such that few people receive A's, doesn't mean that those few people who get A's are going to be appropriate admits for law school. Maybe those students who got those A's were educated in a manner that makes them poor fits for law school. The 'Institutes of Technology' seem to be rather guilty of this - they educate their students in a highly rigorous, quantitative, deterministic style that apparently does not translate well into law school.</p>
