<p>In terms of my own school, it is a little weird in that the top 10% of 2012 or so are much much much more competitive than the top 10% of 2011 and 2010, but on average, everyone tends to be less competitive and less academically successful than the previous classes. While the GPA difference between 1 and 2 of 2011 was about .07 or so, for 2012 the GPA difference is apparently about .005. The difference between 20 and 21 on the other hand is about .2 for 2012, while for 2011 it was still about .05</p>
