Grade inflation is reshaping the college admissions landscape. As grading standards have shifted over the past few decades, earning straight As is no longer as distinctive as it once was. Colleges are grappling with grade compression and searching for new ways to differentiate students.

Join us for an in-depth conversation on how students can stand out in an increasingly competitive field.

Hosted by Applerouth founder and educational psychologist Jed Applerouth, PhD, this event will feature a panel of independent educational consultants and admissions directors. They’ll discuss recent trends in grade inflation, how they're advising students, and practical steps students can take to strengthen their college applications.
