Grade inflation: There isn’t a whole lot of inflation at Penn. Obviously, it depends tremendously on the class. The science courses are heavily curved in certain cases, all to fit that ideal Bell Curve, though competition is quite fierce at times. By that I mean that certain classes don’t have ideal curves, because 30-40% can hold a perfect score. Overall, Penn’s grading is nothing like the inflation at, say…Stanford. It’s fair to everyone, and is not terribly inflated. PM me if you have any questions!
