- Harvard College will limit the number of students who can receive A grades
Harvard College will limit the number of students who can receive A grades starting in fall 2027, with a mandatory cap of roughly 20% to curb grade inflation. The cap will be implemented under an agreed '20 plus four' formula, limiting A grades to 24 students per class of 100 undergraduates. This change aims to preserve the value of top-tier academic achievement.
