<p>it is way less inflated at exeter than it is in college. i think probably an extremely small number of three or four year graduates from exeter have received all As (no A minuses). on exeter’s 11-point scale, 11 is an A and 10 is an A-, and, typically, the cutoff to be in the top 5% is around 10.4, give or take depending on the year. the cutoff to be in the top 20% is usually around 9.8 (9=B+). </p>
<p>yeah, it is still really inflated when you compare it to the past (my uncle graduated second in his class with a 10.2 in the mid 70s!!), but grade inflation in college is unreal.</p>
