[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It doesn't have grade deflation. If you look at the average GPA of students attending, it's right in line w/ similar institutions (I.e. UVA). [/quote] Where is this information available? I'm not finding it easily.[/quote] Go here and click on the individual schools at the end. http://www.gradeinflation.com/ The average W&M GPA in 2014 was a 3.32 compared to a 3.32 at UVA and a 3.15 at VT[/quote] [quote=Anonymous] You have to consider different degrees/programs. The average engineering or pre-med student at UVA and VATech likely has a 3.0 (or below) average. The average Arts and Science student in the humanities at UVA likely has 3.5 GPA (or higher). That same humanities student at Tech and William and Mary is probably around 3.3.[/quote] Sure, but the "conventional wisdom" is that W&M is a meat grinder where students toil to get mediocre grades, and it turns out it's no different than peer institutions.[/quote]
