<p>MIT possibly is grade deflated. I’ll be willing to give you that. However, I think that among the list given by the OP, there is no significant inflation or deflation among those.</p>
<p>So how much is MIT grade deflated?</p>
<p>According to MIT’s data, the average GPA applying to law school at senior year was 3.25. For other Ivies, it’s 3.5. HOWEVER half of MIT is engineering and a good chunk of the other half is natural sciences. Technical courses naturally have lower GPA, which is why Law school gives a small bonus (.15 - .2, as I’ve heard) to tech students. So accounting to that, it appears that MIT is only grade deflated by .1</p>
