Grades- Inflation/Deflation?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Hi,
I know this is a neurotic question, but I have to ask...I'd really appreciate it if some current Yalies would humor me.</p>

<p>I was wondering if there's a lot of grade inflation or grade deflation at Yale. I know at Harvard, grade inflation is the norm (everyone gets A's), while at Princeton it's the opposite (impossible to get an A).</p>

<p>Where does Yale fall on this spectrum? I'm already getting nervous...</p>

<p>Hm... I believe that it's not really "impossible" at Princeton to get an A, but rather a slightly lower percentage of the students get them in a class. I believe the limit is like 35%, which is not extremely low by any means. I did read in an article that the average undergraduate Yale student GPA was 3.6 while Princeton's was 3.2... I forgot where though.</p>
