这张一直在流传的名校平均GPA是很老皇历了。GPA一直在通胀

Last 10 years or so, average GPA at Ivy-plus schools has jumped 0.1-0.2 or more.

Yet anther reason to attend ivy-level schools - they do hand out handsome GPAs

Noted jump is from Princeton which still enjoys a "GPA deflation" rep (for good or bad) but actually it no longer is doing the deflation.  Same for UChicago to some extent.

But overall MIT, Princeton and Cornell still have lower GPAs than others

Brown, Stanford, Harvard are on the high end.

 

College         Average GPA
Brown University             3.61  --> now 3.7-3.75
Columbia University       3.42  --> Now ~3.55  (Note Columbia gives A+ 4.33 point in GPA calculation)
Cornell University       3.36  --> Now more like 3.48-3.52
Dartmouth College       3.42 --> At least 3.6
Harvard University       3.45 --> Average is around 3.65 these days
