Julez:

In top BS’s is it deflation or are the classes just at such a high level that it’s hard to hit that mark?

I have a hard time using deflation where the average grade is around a B+. There is not the rampant grade inflation which exists elsewhere.

And yes the courses are generally more challenging. They require one to think critically, not simply regurgitate. The exams are not taken from the textbook. There are no retakes or extra credit. Rare exceptions to the above may occur.

And it you’re choosing schools simply because they inflate grades, you’re missing the big picture.
