Grade Deflation/Inflation

Transfer Students

<p>Is there like an unofficial list of colleges that practice grade deflation or inflation? To be honest, I would hate to go to a school with grade deflation. That's why CAL is low on my list. It makes everything cut throat, and it ruins your chances at getting into a grad school.</p>

<p>Berkeley has grade deflation? Do you know if it’s just certain departments or if it’s throughout UCB? What about for math majors?</p>

3

<p>I just know that students sabotage each other left and right because only the top 1% get As. I’ve heard this from econ, psci, and math majors</p>

4

<p>Yeah, some people sabotage others for higher grades. Tougher schools tend to have stricter curves for their grading system.</p>

5

<p>Does anyone know if the top LAC practice grade inflation? I know most of the Ivies do</p>

<p>Swarthmore has a t-shirt that reads, “ANYWHERE else, it would’ve be an A!”</p>
