[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a HYPSM and working their butt off. No coddling there. Demanding academics![/quote] These kids need to be allowed to compete. I went to Berkeley. I still remember the incredulous stare of my Stanford friends when they saw my work load. They were appalled that the average grades on most tests were 34-40 percent, which curved to a B. [/quote] I remember when my friend at Stanford was allowed to withdraw from a class a week before finals. They were getting a bad grade, and Stanford let them retake the class 3x before they could pass with a B. In my big no name state u, you would have to take that bad grade. They would never let you withdraw a week before finals.[/quote] To be fair, the Ivy student is paying a much higher tuition than you at your no-name state U. So, don’t you agree the Ivy student is [b]entitled [/b]to the higher grade? [/quote] bolded, right there.[/quote]
