[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown seems a little old school. It requires ALL standardized test scores and only just decided to accept the common app. What about grade deflation (or maybe lack of grade inflation).[b] I know that at the Ivys nearly everyone gets an A and I assume this is true at large flagships like UNC and UVA.[/b]  DC is trying to decide whether to go to Georgetown. DC is undecided but may want to go to law school in the future. I don't want DC to be at a disadvantage due to a low GPA. Thoughts?

UNC and UVA actually don't have much grade inflation. Average GPA at UNC is like 3.58 and at UVA it's a 3.6 across all schools and lower at some. [/quote]

That is an A-/A average and you are saying there isn't grade inflation?  Can you name a single college that has not had increasing GPAs over time?[/quote]
You are obtuse.  PP was saying not much grade inflation relative to other schools.
FYI, 3.6 is below A-.[/quote]

Then say their average grades aren't quite as high as astronomically high Brown University.  By any meaningful definition of grade inflation, UVA and UNC have had a long run of grade inflation.[/quote]
