<p>Yes, that’s what I’m saying. I feel like unless your school is nationally known for being hard, if you are in the middle of your class you are at a disadvantage because even though you are working hard, you won’t be given enough credit for your work. I see people on here who have 3.5 UW and are top 20%… At my school you might be in the 4th decile with that if you are lucky. My point relating to the thread is that if everyone knows Ivies are hard, why do they need grade inflation?</p>
