NYTimes: Boston University grade deflation

<h2>I think a school’s grading curves should correlate between incoming SAT scores (ie. inflation for higher scores). It doesn’t make sense to compare the GPAs of HYP caliber students to those of lower ranked schools. </h2>

<p>What happens if I have a 1600 SAT at a state school versus someone with a 1500 SAT at Harvard, and I have a lower GPA? Do I get a “boost” in my GPA? </p>

<p>While it might be the case that on average, HYPS students are better than students from state schools, the top students from state schools are probably just as good as the top student from HYPS.</p>
