[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is at a top school, with  lots of premed and lots of grade DEflation. Keeping grades up is difficult, but the resources at the school are amazing.[/quote]

Name the school, no top school has DE flation. I work in med school consulting and know the typical GPAs from all top schools. The medians are all between 3.65 and 3.9 Harvard/Brown being at the top and Princeton/Penn being lower. MIT has a 5 point system and is in its own group. It is a very small percentage of the graduates across all areas that have less than a B+ average/3.3 the past few years. Sure it is hard work to get above the average but there is no deflation[/quote]

Cornell
WashU
UChicago

UChicago has median around a B or B+ for intro chem, orgo, calc etc. WashU sets the average to right between a B and B+ for all sections for most intro science classes. Less than 25% get Cs in intro, almost no one in upperlevels.
Cornell is more like a B and sometimes B- but still the average GPA has trended up the past 4 years, like all top schools. [/quote]
