So in Canada, A's are 80-100 and B's are 70-79. This doesn't sit well. Was it just at all the schools I went to since elementary or did everyone at all schools in the US have A's as 90-100 and B's as 80-89?
There's a huge discrepancy here! Do colleges (universities as they call them in Canada) account for this? If not, my thesis is that this is a big reason why there are many Canadians in our Ivies (although I don't have any stats to back up my claim, at least not yet). Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this and feel free to debate.
And then of course at BU (Boston University) we had grade deflation, having the mean equal a "C-letter grade" and standard deviations being the grade differentials in a bunch of my classes. I am very jealous of those who went to school here.
