Here is the really weird thing for me about reading some of the responses to this post...
I admit that I know very little about the academic reputations of most schools-I have always assumed that there are always those who achieve, and those who skate along, and depending on the individual drive of the student, that determines how well they do in school. Having said that, I personally have never said or felt that because I attended "X" University, that my 3.3 is worth a 3.7 had I attended "Y" University. So when a person says that Stanford is notorious for grade inflation, but that person has NEVER taken one class at Stanford, that to me is insulting. It insults me because I know that I EARNED EVERY GRADE I RECEIVED, whether it was an "A", "B", or even the rare and unwelcome "C". And yes, people DO flunk out of Stanford, even those with connections and daddy's money. Maybe, just maybe, if the average GPA was 3.7 or so, students ACTUALLY studied and the curve accurately reflected their efforts.
