To an extent, I disagree. Wake Forest (“Work Forest”) has made it a policy not to inflate grades, and the college normally includes a letter with transcripts explaining this. Princeton is another example, as it has capped the number of A’s given to 30% (a hefty chunk, but reduced from before).</p>
<p>I do agree that individual courses within a college can vary wildly in difficulty. Organic chemistry is difficult wherever one takes it!</p>
