[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cornell, CMU, Berkley and MIT are all grind schools.

MIT is known as "TJ 2.0 The College Years".[/quote]

Add JHU to that list.[/quote]

JHU is not a grind anymore.  [/quote]

Is this true? [/quote]

JHU ha a median graduating GPA of 3.75. Higher than UVA(3.68) and W%M(3.65) and yet lower than the most inflated Brown and Harvard(medians 3.9)[/quote]

Though 3.75 is low compared to ivies other than Princeton and Cornell?  Yale and Penn are higher than that.  [/quote]

3.75 is ridiculously inflated[/quote]

Would be higher than dartmouth, princeton, cornell, yale even.  JHU used to be known for grade deflation but academic grading has gotten lax.  Maybe too lax.[/quote]

The link provides 2020 data for ivy league schools.  The gpa must inflated much higher over the past five years.

Second, where did you get the 3.75 median for JHU?  Is there a link?[/quote]

it was 3.80 in 2021. Likely higher now.
