Isn't Stanford notorious for grade inflation? I remember reading that your average GPA was a 3.7 one year.

Typically at the Ivies and other schools that are at that level of prestige few people are going get bad grades...b/c if they did than everyone who didn't get A's or high B's would transfer. Who wants to pay $35000 + a year to get bad grades even if they are from Harvard or Stanford...particularly if they know that they can get great grades other places. Also throw in the fact that legacies get an upperhand in admissions, many of those who attend the Ivies (not all) tend to be sons and daughters of alumni and the school is smart enough to know that you don't want to lose the support of those people...
Grade inflation is rampant at those places.
