I’ve heard Uchicago
Brown
Brown. Harvard a close second
If you're not looking for a lot of competition, I'd look at private schools. Schools like Michigan and UVA might be solid targets, but there's still a lot of competition and you might be better off at Brown like people said. On the flipside, stay away from UChicago and Princeton.
Stay away from vanderbilt? Also I heard GT grades on a curve which is bad, any other schools I should stay away from and any more options besides brown and harvard? Any non ivies with lots of grade inflation?

UChicago, Washington University in St. Louis, MIT, and CalTech are known for grade deflation.
One thing to note is that while some schools are known for grade deflation/inflation, that isn't necessarily true for all departments. e.g. Princeton is a commonly cited example for grade deflation, but their average gpas in the humanities or even social sciences are fairly average (3.5-3.6 range) while the average gpa in natural sciences is somewhat low (3.3)

Where does wharton undergrad fall?
Very inflated grading, barring a few upper level courses. It's a running joke across the entire Penn campus how easy the Wharton courses are.
what elite LACs have grade inflation??? urgent!!!!!
Literally all of them.
