Yeah, seriously. I've seen such inflated GPAs that when I've talked to the person, it's hard to believe they are anything more than a "C" average student at best. I'm shocked at how easy it seems for some students to have a 4.0 or higher and makes me question how much we have watered down curriculum in order to get students the best grades they can so they can go to college.
