About the "Anywhere else it would’ve been an ‘A’ " thing…you have to work darn hard to get an A here, but it’s not impossible. It’s not like teachers REFUSE to give out A’s, it’s that the standards are very, very high.
You don’t have to do drugs or become psychotic. You might come thisclose to having a breakdown before finals, but in the end, god you’ll feel good about it.

I know several straight-A students here. You’d better believe that they feel like they’re getting their money’s worth. All it takes is a TON of dedication and hard work, which will ultimately pay off (Hello, having ivy league grad schools in the palm of your hand. Hello, complete sense of accomplishment.).
