<p>Does anybody know if the grade deflation policy at Princeton is hurting its graduates from gaining acceptance to top graduate/professional schools?
For the top law schools in particular, where GPA seems to be the primary factor in selection criteria, how do Princeton grads fare?</p>
<p>The grade deflation policy has had a minimal effect on grades, which are still horrendously inflated (at Princeton and elsewhere). Consequently, it probably has a minimal (but existent) effect on graduate school. Here’s some FAQs about the policy.</p>

<p>^ jomjom, is that you? haha</p>
<p>seriously though, grade deflation is taking its toll on Princeton grads applying to graduate & law and med schools… perhaps equally important, a lot of people are concerned that hiring managers are taking other ivy league grads over Princeton grads because of the lower GPAs at the latter…</p>
<p>this is quite a contentious issue on the dailyprincetonian.com-</p>
