Grade Inflation at Penn

it really depends on the department. SEAS, Wharton, and the math/science departments in the college are certainly not inflated (and at least in the case of the science departments I think are deflated relative to some other ivies - ex: the chem and physics departments here set their averages to a B-, at Harvard or Yale it’s a B+). Grade inflation is a pretty major issue in the humanities and social sciences though, but still less so than a place like Harvard.
