Well, the USG and The Prince (which I write for) have spoken out on this already - it’s probably made the system a bit more forgiving, especially on graduating seniors (who could be really hurt by a weird grade drop in their last year).

RE: Grades in general - akx hit it right on the nail. A B+ is almost never impossible - an A often is. By the way, the cut-off between 1st quintile and 2nd quintile is 3.64 (trust me ).
