Grade inflation at Cornell, Tufts, NYU, UC, etc??

Berkeley has (had, it’s been a while since I was there so I can’t vouch for anything current) a required curve for the large undergrad classes (e.g., physics 8a, 8b, etc) where only the top 15% (? I think this was the cutoff) could get an A. There was more leeway in the upper-division courses IIRC.

https://www.berkeleytime.com/grades/ has UCB grade distributions by course. Common pre-med courses appear to give about a quarter of students A- or higher grades.
