<p>If you scroll down toward the end, you’ll see the following quote: “… the fact that Chicago itself is up to a 3.3 (B+) average GPA and a 50 percent honors rate among graduates.”</p>

<p>This article was written in the late 90s. It’s safe to say that Chicago’s average GPA has risen since then, so I’d think it’s around a 3.4 now, with, as per usual, around 50% of the graduates receiving honors. </p>

<p>Also keep in mind, there is significant disparity within the ivy-range schools in terms of grade inflation. For information on specific schools and their average gpas, go here:</p>

<p>Here’s the info on a few of these schools from gradeinflation.com:</p>

<p>Princeton: Currently around a 3.3</p>

<p>Brown: Currently around a 3.61 (which is insane - Brown grade inflates and Brown students benefit from having a grading system with no + or - grades)</p>
