<p>Does Harvard practice "grade deflation" as schools (such as Princeton) do?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Harvard DOES practice grade inflation. I think more schools should, makes it easier to get As, but it’s somewhat unfair to those kids who actually deserve an A.</p>
<p>From my experience, Harvard does engage in grade inflation to some degree. Namely, the B, B+, A- interval can often be comfortably attained. However, unless you’re taking an early level language or certain departmental courses, A’s are considerably difficult to attain. At least from what I’ve heard from many of my friends.</p>
