Best Answer

To inflate grades is to change grade rubrics (usually in the context of students' work) to make it seem like someone did better.

Does grade inflation exist at Ivy League schools?

Engineering, science and math classes have curves, but those can curve you both up and down, so in some classes an 80% can be an A where as in others an A can be curved to a B-. Generally for humanities and most non quantitative classes, in my experience, there is no grade inflation. On the contrary, a B at my university is the equivalent of an A at most others.
