An A at Harvard

“I can answer the question, if you want me to.” Harris said. “The median grade in Harvard College is indeed an A-. The most frequently awarded grade in Harvard College is actually a straight A.”'

~ The Harvard Crimson

Actually insane. Guess there's more truth to the whole "would have been an A at Harvard" sentiment that exists at Princeton than I thought.

In a way I'm thankful for my Bs and such though. I mean, I would much rather have an A in the end, but having to have the experience of struggling so much for a grade, and still not getting an A... It's really humbling. It really makes me realize that not everything can be done in my own power, nor should everything be able to be done in my own power. That maybe, working your hardest sometimes really isn't enough. It's a pretty miserable truth but one well worth knowing.

Of course, that's not to say I wouldn't appreciate the 3.71 that GradeDeflation.com says I would have had I gone to Harvard... xP
