<p>how much grade inflation exists at Penn?</p>
<p>That's certainly an easy question to answer.</p>
<p>Wait, no it's not. Although I've seen none.</p>
<p>aww no grade inflation? lol</p>
<p>"Barbara Kahn, the vice dean and director of Wharton's undergraduate school, said that a task force found that A's, A-minuses and A-pluses consistently make up about 25 to 30 percent of all grades received by students in Wharton classes.</p>
<p>This is a significantly lower percentage than in the College, where grades A-minus and up accounted for 54 percent of total grades during the 2004-2005 academic year.</p>
<p>Similarly, a mere quarter of Engineering undergraduates have a GPA higher than 3.4.</p>
<p>The Nursing School does not keep statistics on the grades or averages of its students, but Dean Afaf Meleis said that in her 40 years of teaching, grade inflation "just has not been an issue in a field such as nursing."</p>
<p>The Nursing curve is something ridiculous, though.</p>
<p>I'm sure they have more than their fair number of As.</p>
<p>There has been a fair amount of articles on the subject by the DP:</p>
