[quote=Anonymous]Most elite private schools have a mandate to set the median grade within a predetermined range. Some schools are very conservative, and set the median grade at a 88-89/B+ Some schools might have it at 90-92/A-. However, there's an expectation that only the best students in a particular section get the top grade of A or A+ What this means in practice is that students are competing against each other. Work that would easily receive an A at a public school instead receives a B+ because it's not the best essay in the section. [/quote]
