Magicman–actually the Ivies are notorious for grade inflation. They want all their kids to go to top grad schools, so they give them higher grades. I believe Princeton recently capped the number of As in a course at 60%–before that it was common for a professor to give 90% or more As.

UT generaly requires students to do top level work to receive an A, rather than simply show up.
