While there is variance across majors and schools, I would not say that there is significant inflation or deflation relative to peer institutions. Premed courses, and especially organic chemistry, have harsh grading curves, although this is relatively common. Cornell, Princeton, Johns Hopkins are known for grade deflation while Harvard is well-known for inflation.
