[quote=Anonymous]All schools have inflation: SEC publics that have data for the past couple of years: -54% of grades are A-/A, 10%C -62% of grades are A-/A, 4% C -49% of grades A-/A, 11%C -30% of grades are A-/A, 15% C (engineering program within an SEC) Overall GPA medians 3.65-3.8. SEC has plenty of inflation, on average more than UVA despite the average student equivalent to the bottom 1/4 of UVA. Since they all have inflation, companies as well as grad/professional schools have to consider the context of the undergrad. What is better, 3.7 from UVA or 3.7 from SEC? What is better 3.7 from an ivy with a similar median or 3.7 from UVA? The school with the more competitive peer group is always going to be the answer, all else roughly equal. Even when not equal, 3.9 SEC vs 3.7 ivy, they better school often carries more weight because being average at a very top school is likely harder than being top 25% at a mediocre one.[/quote]
