I think the world is run by 'C' students.
American universities have never considered academic merit the sole criterion for admittance.
I was a class clown, never got good grades.
My long-held fear is that Mr. Obama is hiding something about his education. During the endless 2008 campaign, Mr. Obama would not release his college grades. Given that President George W. Bush and Sens. Al Gore and John Kerry all had proved mediocre grades were no impediment to a presidential bid, Mr. Obama likely had other concerns.
I wrote down the grades I wanted in every class.
I never failed a class. Never.
I've always been an A or B student. When I get a B, I freak out a little bit!
I performed adequately at school, but in comparison to my older brother, who set the record for the highest cumulative average for our high school, my performance was decidedly mediocre.
Mitt Romney is to presidential campaigns as the Delta House grade point average was to Faber College - the worst in history.
To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks.
My first semester, I got a D in creative writing.
In high school, I was not as much of a grade-follower. I kind of enjoyed more of the social aspect of high school.
I can assure everyone that there is no academic fraud as it relates to my college transcript. I took every course with qualified members of the UNC faculty and I earned every grade whether it was good or bad.
You know, I'm fairly intelligent, but I don't think my grades reflected that.
I was a decent student but not a great student.
I was a talker back in elementary school. I used to get A's and B's in everything, but I got an F in conduct.
I wasn't the guy who got straight As. I got As and Bs and a couple Cs.
I coasted through high school. I was 203rd in a class of 987.
I always told people Alabama was the smartest state because it has four As and a B.
I was a mediocre B-average student throughout my school years.
I kind of always did get good grades.
I made good grades in school.
Grades are almost completely relative, in effect ranking students relative to others in their class. Thus extra achievement by one student not only raises his position, but in effect lowers the position of others.
I would certainly look at a proposal for tuition-free community college for two years if the students kept a certain high grade-point average.
Grade school, middle school and high school were relatively easy for me, and with little studying, I was an honor student every semester, graduating 5th in my high school class.
