A is for Average
At Yale University, an A officially means “excellent.” But in the 2024-25 academic year, more than four out of every five undergraduate grades fell in the A range.
A recent Yale Daily News report found that 80.75 percent of grades awarded at Yale College were As or A-minuses, up from 78.97 percent in 2022-23 and 67.23 percent in 2010-11.
