[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To qualify for Latin Honors (top 25% of the class) you needed a 3.96 GPA or higher this year. Contrast to just eight years ago when the requirement was already high at 3.84, but at least it was lower. Tons of students mentioning they just coasted through many of their classes and were assured As and Bs with no effort whatsoever. How is this acceptable to parents paying 100K for presumably an academically well regarded school?[b] How do employers and grad schools figure out who the real deal is from Pomona if GPAs are so sky high? [/b][/quote] Most of the students are the "real deal." Simply failing them to feign enhanced rigor is not going to suddenly produce better graduates; in fact, it'll probably harm their post-graduate prospects.[/quote]
