<p>It’s not new to UNC since it has been in place since before my son matriculated in 2004. It is also a well know fact at Wake Forest…aka “Work Forest”. It is new however at Princeton and a few other “elite” schools that just began implementation in the last two years.</p>
<p>As I have said before, grad and professional schools are fully aware of the rigor of the curriculum at UNC and of the grade deflation that exists which gives far more weight to As and A minuses than they might have at other schools known for grade inflation. At one Ivy they discovered that something like 70 plus percent of people in a given class were getting As because the assumption was if they are here, they must be smart to begin with. It took a major outcry from grad and professional schools as well as employers to force the change in attitude at Princeton and Harvard who have both begun to enact grade deflation policies and begin the trend at other schools.</p>
