Very crude indeed. I don’t even think Cornell releases average GPAs.

I’m not sure if you say that affirmatively or sarcastically, but I’ll respond to the latter. I also don’t think Cornell releases that information; I tried looking but didn’t come across any such reported data. I was just saying that if he could find those elusive average GPAs, then they would only be a crude measure of grade inflation/deflation in comparison to another school. Furthermore, the only GPA I found for CMU was the GPA of admitted/enrolled freshmen. In any case, you’d need much more detailed information to determine inflation at one school or another.
