<p>I dont really know what i am talking about here so correct me if I am wrong. Grade deflation sounds like it is difficult to get As and a lot of top tier public universities are known for it. </p>

<p>If the above statement is correct how is grade deflation at lesser tier universities like Michigan State University or Indiana University. I am specifically wondering about MSU. Really how hard would it be to get an A at MSU. </p>

<p>I am sorry if I have my information wrong, the first time I have heard of grade deflation is on this site. If you need clarification on what I mean just ask.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Good question John. Try submitting the question on the University of Michigan CC site. I’m sure you’ll hear advice from students there who have plenty of friends that attend MSU.</p>

<p>That’s because “grade deflation” doesn’t exist anywhere but on sites like this.</p>

<p>Grade deflation means that the average GPA of students has declined over a period of time. That isn’t happening and hasn’t happened. Just the opposite. Grades at all types have schools have tended to increase over the last forty to fifty years.</p>
