<p>you guys wana talk about grade deflation, head up to the great white north.</p>
<p>University of Toronto mean GPA is 2.2</p>
<p>University of Western Ontario mean gpa is 2.2</p>
<p>McGill and Queens are definetly somewhere in that range.</p>
<p>Does it have to do with the french style weeding out because the university is free to every citizen?</p>
<p>the princeton cap on A's doesn't mean their grades aren't inflated. 25 or 35% is a huge number of A's. Especially if you consider another 50-60% of them are going to be getting B's.</p>
<p>drab - university certainly isnt free. Its equivelant to most american in-state prices...3k-8k a year. And yes there is some weeding out, although im uncertain if it is french.</p>
<p>As far as the op is concerned, i don't think anyone has named Harvard or Stanford as having some heavy grade inflation, with the average graduating gpa being about a 3.45. Perhaps <a href="http://www.gradeinflation.com%5B/url%5D">www.gradeinflation.com</a> might shed some light on the subject of grade inflation.</p>
<p>Reed College doesn't tell students their grades unless they ask. Many don't know until near graduation. The average GPA there is 2.8. It still, however, places a higher percentage of students in Ph.D. programs in the life sciences than any other college or university in the nation, and third overall in all disciplines. It looks as though grad schools know what is going on re: grade inflation.</p>
<p>Well, Reed is a very exceptional case. Some grad schools and professional programs say they factor in grade inflation and some do not. Some schools appear to do so and some do not.</p>
