From the classes I took so far grades are definitely not inflated. It takes a fair amount of work to get an A. Duke doesn’t give them away. I’d say it’s tougher to get an A in the sciences. The curves for the classes that I took were based somewhere around a B, and everyone in the class is intelligent. That means that some smart people are getting low grades just because they fall on the wrong side of the curve.
