Harvey Mudd College and grade inflation... not as good as we thought?

Bear in mind that to graduate, you need 128 units, and for those taking the minimum, at most 5 courses (15 units) will be off campus, so only abour 12% of your classes are off campus. If you look at the grade inflation of pomona over the same period of time, you get +0.4 GPA, which would account for only around 0.05 GPA units for a typical Mudder. Of course, this isn't a rigorous calculation, but it seems like it should be mostly accurate.

Also, since around 1980, Mudd's median GPA has increased around 0.2 to 0.25 points, so it's unlikely that Mudd's GPA has been soley affected by Pomona's (or other 5Cs, assuming they are similar to Pomona) GPA.

I'd be interested to hear anything you discuss from Dean Guy.
