[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was common in many of my math, CSE and economics classes at Penn in the 90s. Not sure what the big deal is? The tests are really hard to differentiate amongst students. A is exemplary, B is good/great, C is satisfactory, etc. Plenty of B and C students that got their degrees and secured great first jobs.[b] Employers manage expectations when they know the GPA is on a curve. [/b] "Objective problem-solving" can be made more rigorous, deeper dive, more nuanced, trickier complex questions. The kids that met the bar, but weren't savants, collected their B or C and moved on with life.[/quote] The recruiters of today just filter for school AND gpa. No one gives a shit about the nuance about Harvard's grading. they want the "best."[/quote]
