Yes.  In-state is getting harder. [/quote]

Average high school GPAs have been going up.  Rampant grade inflation.  [/quote]

You can look at the sources in this article.  Average high school GPA was 2.68 in 1990, rising to 3.38 in 2016.  I believe it has continued to rise since then.  [b]Grade inflation is most significant in more affluent areas.[/b]  Most common grade in high school is now an A.

I take issue with this claim. The [i]average[/i] SAT scores for the entire graduating classes at schools like Langley & Whitman are in the 1280+ range (80th percentile nationally). Of course those high schools are going to have pretty high average GPAs. [/quote]
