The Los Angeles Times ran an article in July 1997 “Grading the Grades: All A’s Are Not Created Equal ”

This article discussed how the admissions department from UC Berkeley’s School of Law - Boalt Hall re-formulated the law school’s applicant’s G.P.A. The formula ranked each college according to how its students perform on the standardized law board exam, the LSAT, and how common a certain G.P.A. is at that school.
The following is UC Berkeley’s rankings of the toughest schools to get an “A”

Conclusion: Some schools grade easier.In other words, an A doesn’t always equal an A.

Says Princeton Review : ” When colleges admissions officers sit down to wade through each years crop of applications,they decide how impressed they should be by individual transcripts. If they aren’t familiar with your high school already,they need to know how to interpret your grades. They do this not only by trying to understand your school’s grading system,but also by evaluating the caliber of courses you have been taking”
