[quote=Anonymous]you know they are not going to change their admissions process. The changes in their student body just increases the pressure on the professors to reduce the rigor and academic standards of their courses. I graduated from Harvard over 25 years ago from a STEM field. Believe me, even back then, it wasn’t that hard, so can’t imagine what it is now if the professors are complaining. Besides, high school grade inflation and standardized testing policies (superscoring and the tests just becoming easier) makes it difficult to differentiate amongst the students at the right hand side of the bell curve. There is compression at the top which makes difficult to tell who really is able to handle rigorous academics. [/quote]
