[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Someone at the Daily Princetonian did an intensely granular deep dive into the grades kids got and concluded they were almost exactly the same as the likes of Harvard and Yale. No idea how to square that with the other reports I see.[/quote]

Found a recent article from the Princetonion reporting the average GPA for 2023 at 3.56:

Here's an NYT article reporting Yale's at 3.7:

WSJ article reporting Harvard's 2023 average at around 3.8:

These are meaningfully different numbers. Also, I think the original article you referenced also reports Princeton meaningfully trailing behind Harvard and Yale on GPA:
