does Brown have grade inflation? How compare to other schools? What is average GPA among Brown undergrads? THanks.

"What is the average GPA...?"

If you're ignorant enough to ask this question, then you should be doing your own research. All it takes is one look at the Brown site to know better than to ask this question! This is CC, not the sole source of all information about a college; do some of your own research before you ask questions, please.

its really easy to get B's, but hard to get A's and C's.

Wow, Mgcsinc, that was a little harsh. In asking questions he is doing research. Why research something extensively if there are people here, like yourself, who have the knowledge and can easily share it with those of us who need it? It is quicker for a person to type 4 sentences, as Leftcoast did, than to go trudging through information that someone, like you, already knows. I'm sure he, just as I do, greatly appreciates your willingness to share this link. It saved us a lot of time not having to do all of the searching ourselves.

As per a few years ago, While Brown does not offically give out GPAs...the mean has been somewhere around 3.45-3.5 I have read [whether that is valid is a relevant question].


People who are ignorant enough to answer question incorrectly should be doing better research. All it takes is some investigation. This is CC which is a valuable tool. But, do some research before answering.

Espicially when you answer in a condescending manner like you have.
