<p>Northwestern has grade inflation....</p>

<p>for me, a school that has a median/mean GPA at around 3.4-3.5 has grade inflation.</p>

<p>Stanford had grade inflation 30 years ago (lucky for me!) which apparently persists to this day ...</p>

<p>can someone define grade inflation to me? if two students are equally smart and one goes to a state u and the other goes to elite private, shouldn't they come out with the same gpa? But to me, it seems harder to get the same gpa at an elite school. </p>

<p>thats why i dont have a problem with harvard 'inflating' their grades. harvard and other elite schools have the smarter kids(on the whole). therefore, shouldn't the gpas at those schools be higher than public schools to make it fair for the elite schools in terms of med school/law school admissions. </p>

<p>iv heard that some kids choose a state u over an elite college so that they can get a higher gpa for med school. thats why i dont think its fair to compare the average gpa to average of all the schools without factoring the intelligence level of the average student at these schools</p>

<p>the Boston Globe did an article a few years ago that stated that 89% of H grads, graduated with Honors....thus, the formerly gentleman's C has turned into a gentlemen's B. Contrast that with a top public, like Berkeley, where only 15-17% recieve A's in many classes; indeed, flunking out is relatively easy.....I understand that Cornell also grades on a significant curve. </p>

<p>Are students at Harvard and Stanford et al, THAT much better than students at Cornell or Chicago?</p>

<p>ps - Princeton students were in an uproar last year when a Dean (Pres?) dictated that As' be capped at 40% of each class...</p>
