2026 Season

[fullmetal]

Harvard went from ~20% As to ~60% As in the last two decades. It got so bad they faculty just agreed on caps starting in 2027. Grade inflation is real, at Harvard and other Ivies.

Perhaps indirectly driven by AI. Princeton just upended their 133-year old honor code system and will now proctor their final exams.

IRA heats are available

H1: Harvard - Penn - Cornell - Georgetown - Columbia
H2: Princeton - Dartmouth - MIT - Yale - Navy

The H2 race for 2nd and 3rd among D/M/Y is by far the most interesting race here, imo. One pretty good crew will be on the outside looking in

like the HWTs, Yale has had an up and down season. Some good results but also giving up ground to opposition they previously beat/lost. Nothing stands out to me one way or another, but I will tip MIT in the heat just because it would be great to see that program rebound at the IRA.


Is MIT still slated for henley?
