<p>In BusinessWeek it says that grade deflation makes it very tough for students to earn A's (for the business school)</p>
<p>does this only apply to the business school?</p>
<p>what about arts and sciences?</p>
<p>Can anyone here who goes to Rutgers tell me about the grading?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Personally, I don't know, but I know one who has graduated from Rutgers and going to Harvard Law. He got a 4.0 there (based on his word...) so I'm guessing that there's rather grade inflation rather than deflation.</p>
<p>how would that suggest grade inflation? simply because someone has a 4.0? apparently harvard thought that the 4.0 was worth something rather than a product of inflation since they accepted him..</p>
<p>We rarely see 4.0s at universities with grade deflation. There may be none at all. My point was simple and easy to understand.</p>
<p>Most universities have a much smaller sample size, though. I think there's usually only 10-15 4.0's by graduation at Rutgers, out of a class of 10,000+. </p>
<p>Either way, I wouldn't say there's grade deflation. Professors usually give grades based on a standard bell curve.</p>
