[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grade deflation at Princeton makes it worse than other places [/quote] The grade deflation policy was lifted in 2014. The average GPA is 3.56 now. I think the issue just has to do with the pressure that the types of kids admitted to top schools typically feel now to excel at everything. If the first real challenge in your life happens when you’re away from home surrounded by other high-achieving kids, you’re more prone to think of yourself as a failure or an imposter. [/quote] I agree with this. There are also some studies that show that students that went to slightly lower ranked schools and much lower ranked schools felt more confident and were able to stand out among peers vs going to an Ivy and feeling like everyone else is so brilliant leading to believing you are not as good/possibly even a failure.
