For graduate school, GRE and MCAT and LSAT exist, so that helps.

Grade inflation has been so rampant (even at the Math and Physics classes level) in Undergrad that you have to rely on the GRE do more of the heavy lifting in grad school admissions.

Reverting back to tougher undergraduate grading will reverse that trend a bit.
