Yes, you're absolutely correct that grading standards can vary across universities. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as grade inflation. Grade inflation is the gradual increase over time of grades awarded for the same level of academic performance. Some colleges are particularly renowned for their grade inflation. For instance, Brown University is well-known for grade inflation due to its open curriculum and the academic freedom it provides for students. At Brown, anything below a C grants you the option to convert it into a Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC), which do not affect your GPA. In contrast, other colleges - like the University of Chicago or Princeton University - may be known for their rigorous grading. These schools are often referred to as having grade deflation, meaning they typically have more rigorous grading and it may be harder to maintain a high GPA. It's important to remember, however, that admissions officers, internship coordinators, and potential employers are generally aware of these differences and take them into account when evaluating transcripts. Do focus on finding a school where you feel you’ll thrive academically and personally, as this environment will ultimately help you succeed the most, regardless of grading standards.
