Rutgers University in New Jersey is no longer asking applicants to submit high school transcripts starting this fall. Instead, high school students will enter their own grades in an online application form, Inside Higher Ed reports. An official transcript will be required for every student who is admitted and plans to enroll, however.
As New Jersey high schools learned of the change, the question everyone has been asking is: Will this lead to a new variety of grade inflation, as applicants (accidentally of course…) somehow transcribe themselves into honors students? Rutgers officials say that won’t happen because the transcript checks of accepted applicants who plan to enroll will cover every single student. If you inflate your grades, your admission offer will be revoked — period.
