<p>Interesting article that mentions Wellesley in the context of grade inflation and deflation:

<p>I was talking to a friend of mine on the bus about it, and we kind of griped how Wellesley is “working against us” as we try and get good grades. At the same time, though, we agreed that we don’t mind it. If I get a good grade, I know it’s because I worked darn hard for it. A B+ is awesome, but it still leaves room for improvement, and I still have something to strive and work for.</p>
<p>I also have not heard issues about students not being able to get into grad school due to grades. From my understanding, most grad schools are aware of Wellesley’s policies, and take that into account.</p>
