“even though my grade in that class is a 97? Is this grade inflation?”

A 97/100 at High School Class followed by 710 on SAT II and a 4 on the AP test certainly shows a grade inflation. This will put you in a bad sport as compare to other students from different school.

If your school don’t send students to top schools regularly than this will be considered as negative. If your school do send many to top schools than your grades are first compare with your fellow student and if you rank well there then you still have a chance.
