[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the report. The numbers are astonishing: - the median GPA went from 3.29 in 1985 to 3.49 in 2005 to 3.83 in 2025! - the percentage of A grades went from 25 in 2005 to over 60 percent in 2025. [/quote] Well in the 80s , 30 percent of applicants were given admissions offers: now it’s like 3 percent. The number of AP courses has also gone up. My freshman college student is definitely way more prepared entering college than I was (I didn’t go to Harvard )- they are much more prepared and should be getting more As than I did Whoever thinks high school in the 80s and 90s was better preparing kids for college is crazy [/quote]
