Do admissions officers know about Cal's grade deflation?

they should but evidence is that they don’t except perhaps to a small extent. Two otherwise identical applicants, then the school with more deflation/less inflation would likely break the tie, but taking a 3.5 from one school over applicants with a 3.9 at another, not so much. Best plan - have a 4.0 from Cal with a high MCAT - but easier to say than to accomplish.
