Grade Inflation?

<p>Does anyone know what percentage of students at Duke in a class would make an A, B, C or whatever? Is it difficult to fail a course? Are A's pretty common? What would be considered a good gpa here...I'm trinity by the way.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Don't know the percentages but like I said before Duke does not give good grades away. In engineering and science classes it is tough to get an A. My chem class last semester curved around a B- and it was tough. As a science major I work hard and am satisfied with anything from a B up. So anything over 3.0 is fine with me. That probably sounds kind of low. non-science/engineering majors probably have different standards for themselves.</p>

<p>any other insights?</p>

<p>Depends on the major and how smart you are compared to the rest of the class. A's are definitely achievable but there's no point speculating how you're gonna do.</p>
