<p>I actually thought the article was saying BU had one of the only honest grading systems. I don’t think grade deflation is that big of a deal. I work hard, and I’ve never gotten a grade I didn’t think I deserved. Plus, I’ve had friends talk to professors about grades who have adjusted them/explained them to my friends’ satisfaction. At BU, you just have to accept that you probably won’t have a 4.0, but neither will anyone else. The NY Times article is just nice, because now, a lot of readers know how hard you had to work to get your grades, which means a lot more in the end, I think.</p>
