Grade inflation is one of my all-time greatest pet peeves.

Most recent stats on the W&L website:
The Class of 2009…
Applied: 3949
Admitted: 1139
Enrolled: 466
Gender Ratio: 50% Female, 50% Male
Middle 50% for SAT I: 1340-1430
Middle 50% ACT Composite Range: 28-31

The school is known as a work hard/play hard school that takes both aspects of life very seriously. It's ranked #14 of top nationally ranked liberal arts colleges which as we all know have a different focus than research universities. In terms of LACs the only southern school that beat W&L's ranking was Davidson in NC and they don't have women's fraternities.
