When I was in college (non selective public university), there was very little grade inflation. Bell curves were used for every test and assignment so there were the same number failing as passing and the mean was a "C" grade, period.
I can see where that works at a non selective public, but I do see how it would be a problem at an Ivy or other highly selective school. If their students are going to compete with the non selective public students, they can't really do that type of bell curve grading. Realistically, their "average" students are probably better qualified than the 80th percentile kids at the non selective public. Med school and law school are notorious for looking at the numbers, not the school, so it would really make it difficult for any of those "highly selective" kids to make it.
