[quote=Anonymous][quote]As a general matter, grade inflation is higher at Ivies than at many other schools.[/quote] At HYPSM you’re dealing the academically strongest gunners from their high school cohorts. For the sake of argument, let’s imagine that at every school in America only 20% of people get A’s in Organic Chemistry. My claim is that the median Princeton student would likely be in the 20% of people who get A’s at most schools, whereas by the definition of “median”, at Princeton they will not get an A. Now add on that the 20% assumption is probably not true of many near competitors like Harvard, Yale, or Stanford which likely give out more A’s. Under reasonable assumptions, for an identical student, it is likely much harder to get an A in Orgo at Princeton than at the vast majority of other colleges. [/quote]
