[quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing a lot of posts/people making allegations about "grade deflation" at certain schools. Cornell, Colgate, BU and others have been noted on this site. My kid is thinking of college in the next couple of years and wants a pre-health path (poss. Pre-me, PA, not sure) so I'm thinking of this. Is grade deflation a real thing? And if so, are the students at those schools able to compete with the schools that don't "deflate" or that "inflate"? So a 3.3 or 3.4 GPA from Cornell or Colgate vs. a 3.6 from another school--- will the Cornell person be shut out? I realize there are other factors. I'm just trying to understand if this is a real thing or just navel gazing by nervous parents (like myself, admittedly)?[/quote]
