Yeah, no, I don’t think that’s it. Cheating is rampant and the notion of honor is all but dead. Faculty morale is in the gutter and they just don’t give af anymore.

Name a college that has not had grade inflation (increase in average GPA over time)?

Because they had higher GPAs in high school (where grade inflation has been even more rampant than in college)?

My freshman turned down 2 Ivies for UVA. Her roommate turned down one. Almost every OOS kid they know was their respective school's valedictorian. They all took 10-15 APs in high school and never got less than an A.
I'm not sure why OP thinks they should now be graded to an average of a B- (3.1). Especially when places like Harvard have an average of a 3.9.

UVA is actually known for grade deflation. A 3.6 is low for a to50 school.
