Harvey Mudd has had grade inflation for over two decades.
That's too far-fetched from the truth. The reality is that they are notorious for grades.
Here’s an article on their grade inflation all the way back in 2007: https://themuddraker.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/vol-17-issue-1.pdf
The article doesn't mention grade inflation, as it is defined elsewhere. There are factors involved: the admissions did a better job of accepting students who can handle the core, the course drop dates are later in the semester, etc. The average GPA is still 3.3. There have only been 13 students in the college's history who have ever secured a 4.0 GPA.

As at Caltech are hard-fought. If many Caltech students can earn them, then more power to them. I bet the average would be even higher if they took MIT or Princeton courses.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Literally all of the private ones, the average GPA is above a 3.7

Wow! I never thought I'd live to see the day that Caltech has grade inflation.

People are earning their grades at Princeton, MIT, Rice, CalTech, Berkeley, Penn, Northwestern, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, even Vanderbilt, Yale and Chicago, and so on. Harvard and Brown are the outliers. If you want to coast, Harvard and Brown are the schools for that student.
If they get in

It doesn't matter the undergrad will be compared to their school metrics for MD, phD, Law school, and even some high-level consulting. Everyone who matters can get the info on gpa ranges from target schools. Harvard and Brown are not significantly helped by their mild relative inflation over peer schools.
