There are professors who do this. At Villanova there is a notorious calculus teacher we have dubbed Ben Stein because that is what he sounds like. The semester after me he only gave out 1 B, 1 C, and the rest Ds. I worked my butt off to get an A in that class. They can grade as they see fit. UVA professors do it too - my roommate had a Spanish professor who refused to follow the department’s curving and her class always has lower averages than every other class (tough luck to those who ger her!). My roommate typically got A’s in Spanish and she got a B- that semester. :\ Personally I would withdraw and keep the 4.0 but I’m not an admissions officer.
