[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Er, the average grade at Duke is an A, 3.5. Grade inflation much? Must be real “hard”. At Duke, everyone is a winner! [/quote] I worked in admissions at a very competitive graduate program (think top tier law or medical school) and most transcripts we got had the student's %ile in their undergrad on it. For schools like Harvard, it was printed right next to the GPA on the official transcript. That %ile was what we looked at. [/quote] So does this mean that at a grade inflated school everyone is 90%ile ? How can they really distinguish relative ranking? Harvard undergraduate is the largest feeder to their own graduate programs. Does it really matter what the grades are?[/quote]
