<p>I am a grade whore. I can't stand anything other than an A or A+</p>
<p>I'm bothered by the fact that that specific girl lied about not having her notes and ended up getting caught in the act. Now that's what I call a selfish. Everyone may want a good grade, but it seems as though she wanted to minimize her competition.</p>
<p>Grade-Whore in my book is someone who passive agressively try to screw you over or eliminate their competition by withholding information. You will find some of these people at Berkeley and it does sort of make other otherwise helpful people also reluctant to help out since their is no reciprocality of info. Of course everyone wants a high grade like an A or A-, but when people try to undercut you it's a whole different story. </p>
<p>Personally I don't mind helping people if I can tell they are genuine in their intent to learn or they are good people.</p>
