@Izzy: Well, college =/= high school, and from what I've seen it really depends on the competition..

So having B's in college isn't that bad - schools have GPA inflation, some schools have intense competition.. it really boils down to context.

For example, UC Berkeley has intense competition.. and most classes either run out of space, and when you DO get in, only a very minor percentage of the student body manage As. It's unusual to see 3.5+s in UC Berkeley.. (thanks to bell curves and midterms with an average score of 35%)

@Dossar: unless your teachers are completely ****faced and/or whack, if you try, you WILL get good grades - guaranteed. Most of school is white & black, meaning courses except literature / arts have guaranteed rewards if you study. (I'm excluding English / Arts courses because your grade is at the mercy of your teacher.)

So Dossar, whenever you tell others that your grades are out of whack no matter how hard you try, just remember that you only have yourself to blame - unless these out of whack grades were caused by unfair grading by teachers on subjects like English & Arts & Drama, etc etc.
