> Yale, on the other hand, is extremely competitive in terms of grading

Nonsense.

'A YDN survey of the Class of 2006 found the median GPA to be about 3.6'

All the ivies (and all US news top25, really) have grade inflation.

Yale's graduate business school doesn't even have grades.

Fair enough. I should have said "more competitive". Individual performance, e.g. being ranked against one's peers, is prized more at Yale than at Harvard. I have mostly hired Yale undergraduates and lawyers--no visibility into their B school.

Yale's law school doesn't have grades (neither does Harvard, anymore). How is that emphasizing competitiveness?

Interesting! I've found Yale's to be more intellectual, although also less practical. Any other schools that (anecdotally) fit a profile?
