It all depends on what you're aiming for. For those of us who want med school, anything under 11 or 12 doesn't cut it.. |

As someone who wants to go to medical school I disagree. Half 10's and half 11's will give you a competitive GPA. As long as you get a bunch of 12's over the course of four years in there as well there is room for the occasional 7, 8, or 9 in a hard subject.

Failed most of the class on the presentations :/.
I got a 10, but I definitely felt like I put in more work than that...
Meh, stupid non-sensical prerequisite for software engineering done :p.

I have a feeling you had the same TA that I had...
Was he a short jewish looking guy with a ridiculous "Amadeus" Mozart-esque laugh? |

I definitely agree with you, but I'm talking more in terms of personal expectations. |

Uh, lmao, she's saying you can get a mark less than 11 and still be fine for med school - herself being an example of someone who got a 6 in a course and was still fine. |

I thought that in BIOLOGY 2C03 (Genetics) it was really difficult to get a 12. I had it first term with Dr. Patel and Dr. Beddard and even though midterms was pretty fair, the exam raped everyone. The tutorials were easy mark-boosters, but even then I'd say it was a GPA killer. Dr. Patel was a decent prof, but no one could understand anything that Dr. Beddard was saying.
