It's interesting...the Computer Science majors at my school possibly have the lowest GPAs, if we even calculated them. I don't even know what our house GPA is or where we rank with the other sororities...I would imagine that we're probably about all the same, based on the mix of majors and interests.
A MAGIC tournament as a Rush event? Scary!
I don't think grade inflation is
rampant at Ivy/Stanford/Chicago/MIT/Caltech-like schools (which is what I think is meant by "those places"). It exists, but it exists everywhere. Schools like Harvard get more attention for it because of the position they hold in American society.
