I am an MIT undergraduate alum and a Harvard PhD alum.
Harvard unfortunately became a BIG joke when it picked Claudine Gay as its next president. A social science propagandist and a sexual-harassment activist—NOT a scholar!!!! The sister of Illinois’ corrupt governor led the committee that picked her!
MIT to this day has NO grade inflation!!

And they picked Sally A. Kornbluth, a cell biologist, as their next president!

Here’s hoping that Dr. Kornbluth does better than the current president, and that Ms. Gay has a VERY short tenure, with her scandals catching up with her!!!!
No. That's only their most recent poor decision.
MIT used a 5 point scale, instead of 4. A company I interviewed with lost all enthusiasm when they learned my A- GPA was really a B-. And I learned to keep my mouth shut.
