Princeton Makes A's Not So Easy!!!

The Princeton University Board wants to toughen the grading scale again, so less students receive A's. Last year 41% of the students had A's, but that was only half their goal. This year Princeton wants to lower their "A" range students to only 35%. The Committee believes this will allow a small group of elite individuals to achieve the top spots, but many of the student leaders worry about this harming their chances of getting into a top graduate school. While the committee sees nothing wrong with this higher "competition" this is causing, the president of the Student Government stated that it is wrong when many students who earn A's, have their teacher tell them they're receiving a B-plus because of the new policy.
