Bottom line, a C is BAD — a B might be BAD. When you’re in grad school, the only acceptable grade is an A and nobody just gives those away.

One has to remember though, graduate school is a bit self-selecting. That is, there aren’t usually stupid people in grad school – these students are already some of the brightest people around, that’s why they are there. It’s not unusual for the ability/knowledge of the students to exceed that of the professors in a good program.

For those posting that having “several master’s degrees” is unusual — actually, look around. The master’s is the new bachelor’s and more than a few folks out there are getting multiples. Many are also adding additional content area courses to their degrees. It’s not all that uncommon and it’s going to become more common.

Thats Hilarious…..any real grad school you are going to have to work you *** off. Anything less than an A is going to be frowned upon, and I promise if you got less than a C without VERY mitigating circumstances you would likely be dropped by your program.

And yes it is very possible I have seen it happen.

Your friend sounds bogus to me…have you actually called the universities he claims to have degrees from to check if his claims are true?
