This is a good example of the promise of distributed learning where "admissions" is based on progressively better performance. In a world where anyone can take an intro Harvard class online and their performance(s) earn them more access (e.g. actually physical enrollment/credits --things that use real resources), grade inflation would make such a system fail.

But until then, I think there's a general feeling that the admissions process accepts those who basically only do "A" work, and subsequent grading within the school follows as such. Brown does P/F and Yale Law School omits grading too.
