大姐 你可拉倒吧 Harvard Report Shows 79% A-Range Grades Awarded in 2020-21 Roughly 79 percent of the grades awarded at Yale University in the 2022–23 academic year were A’s or A-minuses, according to a new report by a Yale economics professor, published by The New York Times.
下面是Grok的回答 There isn’t a single, definitive statistic that applies universally to the “top 10 universities” because the percentage of graduates achieving a 4.0 GPA varies by institution, program, and even year. Additionally, universities don’t always publicly release exact data on this, and what constitutes a “top 10” can differ depending on the ranking system (e.g., U.S. News, QS, Times Higher Education). However, I can provide an informed estimate based on available data and trends. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout college is rare, especially at highly competitive institutions like those often ranked in the top 10 (e.g., Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Yale). These schools are known for rigorous academic standards, and grade inflation—while present at some—doesn’t guarantee perfect GPAs for many students. At elite universities, a 4.0 typically means earning straight A’s (or A+’s where applicable) across all courses, which is a significant challenge given the complexity of the coursework and the competitive student body. From general trends and anecdotal evidence: At Ivy League schools and similar top-tier institutions, the percentage of students graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA is often estimated to be 1-5% of a graduating class. For example: At Harvard, grade inflation has been documented (e.g., a 2013 report noted the median grade was an A-), but a perfect 4.0 still requires all A’s, not just A-’s (which are typically 3.7). This suggests only a small fraction—likely around 1-2%—achieve it. At Stanford or MIT, where technical courses can be particularly demanding, the percentage might be even lower, possibly below 1% in some years, though Stanford’s historically lenient grading might push it slightly higher. Princeton, known for a past grade-deflation policy (since relaxed), likely has a similarly low percentage, closer to 1-3%. A key indicator comes from Latin honors thresholds. At many top universities, “summa cum laude” (the highest honor) is awarded to the top 1-5% of graduates, often requiring a GPA of 3.9 or higher—sometimes a perfect 4.0. For instance: At Yale, summa cum laude goes to the top 5%, but a 4.0 isn’t guaranteed even then, suggesting fewer than 5% hit the mark. At Penn, summa cum laude requires a 3.8+, with only about 2-3% likely reaching a full 4.0. Considering these factors, a reasonable estimate across the top 10 U.S. universities is that approximately 1-3% of graduates achieve a 4.0 GPA. This varies by school—higher at places with more grade inflation (e.g., Harvard, Brown) and lower at those with stricter curves (e.g., MIT, Caltech). Without specific, up-to-date data from each university for 2025, this range reflects the best synthesis of available patterns. If you’re looking for a precise number for a specific university, I’d need to dig deeper into that school’s records, but most don’t publish exact 4.0 stats. What do you think—does this range sound plausible to you given the reputation of these schools?

一些牛娃就是顺便学一下就4.0，总不能让人故意答错拿低分吧
最重要的是看清自己在哪儿，是真能人，还是就想做个混子
我有同样的疑问。是不是差不多就行了,省下来的时间用来social或者干别的。 大学本科的A比高中难拿很多。
藤校80%都拿A GPA3.5应该是垫底的水平
瞎说，藤校大部分拿B 和C
为什么觉得social就是正事儿？他只要愿意学，不是那种很痛苦的学，你让他学呗。 我是不清楚怎么控制好好准备考个90分，跟不那么好好准备，考个80分。你告诉我哪一部分是不用好好准备的？
大姐 你可拉倒吧
Harvard Report Shows 79% A-Range Grades Awarded in 2020-21

美国大学里，开拓知识，开阔视野，绝对比学透学好重要，除非你将来走学术这条路。我对儿子的教育跟你正好相反，我是鼓励他多修课，特别是不同方向不同学科的课程，不要拘泥自己的专业课，每门课能过关就好了。
找实习是要看GPA的
是的，牛蛙实际是包括多方面，至少两方面 （应该还有更多） 1. IQ 高，花少时间就能学会。 2. 都是学习认真，自觉，自推的。 他们不太可能贪玩而不认真学习的。他们自己会接受不了 LOW GPA 的 （即使没有家长监督） 高 GPA 对第一份工作是有帮助的。有些公司 HR 要求 GPA 达到制订的标准 才给 Intern job 机会的。
我哪里说了只让孩子学自己的专业课？我的意思是不管选什么课，目标是学透学好，而不是为了学习成绩好。你说的每门课过关是什么意思？如果没有打算把一门课学好，一开始为什么又要选这门课呢？
是的，习惯了优秀的孩子是不会允许自己不好好学习选择的课程的。
我说的是成绩好, 全A。
你想啥呢？你以为全A，4.0那么容易，想拿就拿到的嘛？你有孩子大学毕业了吗？
GPA能够反应学习和工作态度 但是不能反应动手能力和沟通能力 GPA4.0基本可以保证是个老实孩子 但实际工作能力可能千差万别
全A毕业 私校不难 公校不易
你有孩子私校4.0 毕业的嘛？ 恭喜你了，养了一个学霸。
都选最简单的 保证毕业的课， 4.0 应该不难
你就甭酸了 整的跟全A多大个事儿似的
按现在grade inflation的程度，如果专业课只是 过关，那基本等于什么也没学
我不酸。你家孩子做到没有？
一个专业总有几门课是难的 想全A，真不容易。

也不一定非要全a啊, 3.8以上都算很好的gpa。
跟高中一样，有些 inflation, 有些 deflation. 出了名压分的康奈尔，拿全A可不容易。听说很多通识大课平均分不到70
这个楼的主题是毕业全A啊！
我也想开开眼。也就1-5%的比例，学霸中的学霸。
就是
公校GPA比私立藤校容易多了，我是州立旗舰毕业，GPA，3.97,就一门课B，想要看的我去找成绩单。相反，我孩子私立难多了
这是打算干点什么？
对啊，奖学金和教授的欣赏，牛人的世界不是我们普通人能懂的。
前几年在我们这里，GPA3.97 都申请不上CS， 太可怕了。。。
你那是以前，藤校要求高，要脸，现在可不是这样！有些甚至grading都取消，拒绝排名
这里讨论的是大学成绩，不是高中
是的，不容易。赞一下我小孩。 他不是天才，没有 USMO，但是个自推型的。UCLA 上了两年应用数学， 后两年转去 CS。UCLA 应用数学前两年课比 CS 课难很多。最后毕业 GPA 3.99. 只一门课拿了 A-， 而且是门很简单的课 （据他说是不小心）。他在高中是全A （包括 13名 AP）。PSAT 和 ACT 都是满分。
你要是stem 3.97太牛了。拿一个A-就是3.7。
不一定吧。好几个藤校都被说GPA inflated。
那为什么大学招生总看leadership之类东西呢？
藤校A的含金量比州立旗舰A的含金量要高．
你可拉倒吧。79%是A和A减一起的，不是你口中的都是A，并且得A减的比得A的多。一个A减3.66，能把gpa拉下来不少。就算一半是A一半是A减，最后gpa也就3.83了，考医法商学院都没竞争力了。再说了，Yale放宽一点得A标准也是应该的。
金融方面的公司，反正我招人肯定要看GPA，我觉得GPA很重要，最起码能反映出来这人做事是否认真
就更正下，成绩好在美国也是有奖学金的。我们比较懒得的时候，就是按成绩排名，前面的按顺序拿奖学金。
这个Harvard grade inflation应该是有的。我们高中一个牛蛙去了，说他每门课都差不多满分，但A的标准不到80分，他对那些低分拿A的很不屑。我们也算好高中，他和其他学习好的娃差距没有那么大。可见Harvard给分标准是松一些。毕竟进Harvard有各种途径，很多都不是靠学习。
如果以后准备申请硕士，或者申请法学院/医学院之类的，那GPA蛮重要的 如果是准备本科毕业就找工作的，那么找实习，比高GPA更重要
不用申请就有的只看成绩的奖学金? 我没听说过。
行了吧，啥学校啥专业？州立旗舰的区别大了，阿拉巴马也是旗舰，能跟UCB比吗？与专业也有很大关系，如果你是UCB EECS的3.97我说你蛮厉害，感觉不会是。 其次私立名校的区别也不小，比如布朗的GPA，全美最高？
这是stem本科的话，你的成绩确实很好。如果硕士博士是另一回事。
我也想问那位层主她的成绩是本科还是研究生。中国大学教育背景出来的理工科学生在美国大学读研究生拿4.0的GPA还是挺容易的。
有些变态教授按bell shape curve打分、控制拿A的学生人数
有变态教授还curve down, 我娃中过招。
你是不是没有上过大学啊？为什么大学生比高中生赚得多？知识在哪里都能转变成钱。不要跟我说有的高中生比大学生挣得更多，学渣也可以挣得比学霸多，要看总体!
