<li>I didn't know there was such high grade inflation at Dmouth, I have to say I'm surprised...how can no classes have medians of Cs? I know at UC Berkeley, where my sis goes, classes have median grades of C's and D's. I don't know if I should by happy or sad about this grade inflation thing. Do you think its harmful in the end in terms of graduate school?</li>

<p>No, because it isn't as rampant at schools such as Harvard or Stanford. Yes, there is grade inflation but there are schools that are far worse and grad schools know this.</p>
<p>Grade inflation is your best friend to be honest. Its much more in check than at places like Harvard though. Basically almost no one at these places are C and D students, so giving them out seems unfair as opposed to other places. The system is basically an A is very very difficult, an A- takes alot of work and some luck, B+ much work but not as much luck, B is normal for a hard worker, B- is easy, C+ and below is average.</p>
