It’s amazing to me that we’re talking about grade “deflation” when the median GPA is 3.63, a quarter of the class is over 3.80 and the lowest quarter of the class starting over 3.4. Even the bottom 10% is 3.12. If this is “deflation” then there must have been massive inflation in general to reach this level of expectation. I graduated UCLA with lower than the 90% for Davidson and was top 2% of the class at the time.

FWIW, I have a junior at Davidson now. Work load is not exceptional versus my previous kid at a different college, or my own previous experience. Work life balance seems decent.
