So so so sorry for not posting often lately! I’ve been extremely busy - I’m doing a full year university developmental psychology course online in 6 weeks. I’m studying like crazy and working my ass off - I need it as a prerequisite to apply to graduate school in the spring.

Here’s the thing though - in Canada, 85% was considered an A, 80% an A-, 78% was B+ and so on and so forth. But in the US, 85% is a B! WTF? And an A is 94%? Maybe professors mark less strictly here, because in Canadian universities it’s nearly impossible to get over 85% on an essay. I’m just freaking out, because I need a minimum of a B (85%) on my course for it to be admissible for my graduate school application.

Am I just crazy? Or is this “normal” and people regularly get over 95% in uni courses in the US? (I’ve been working SO FREAKING HARD and I’m halfway through the course with a 93% average so far, so I don’t know how someone can get an A+ without dying) What’s the deal?
