[quote=Anonymous]This is really surprising, especially since Amherst has historically been known for its rigor which has lead to- obviously- amazing outcomes as the second-best LAC in the US. But currently, it seems to have little to almost no rigor. [quote]Barba, who provided data on the current state of grade inflation at Amherst, noted that there has been a 70% increase in A and A+ grades over the past 10 years, with most of that increase occurring within the last five to six years. He also shared that more than 75% of the grades the college awarded last year were in the A- to A+ range. Currently, all but five subjects at the college have a median grade of A.[/quote][/quote]
