Colleges without Plus/Minus Grading?

@PengsPhils Brown is more competitive than Reed. Which one deflates more?

This is like saying white sugar is more savory than brown sugar - both aren’t savory in the first place.

Neither? No one really has the knowledge or data to split those hairs.

Again, I think this entire criterion is being motivated by a factor that simply isn’t relevant at most colleges. Stay away from known grade deflating schools and super competitive schools and everything else will fit just fine.
