<p>So, how tough is it to get As in classes at Stern? How do the grades usually turn out (bell-curve, skewed, etc)?</p>
<p>OK, just look anywhere for 'Stern Curve'. It's a bit of a misnomer, since it's really the Finance department's curve that just happens to be adopted by some other classes. All finance classes have that curve; not all other Stern classes do.</p>
<p>Since I'm feeling nice, here is the basic distribution:
A 10%
A- 10% to15%
B+ 10%
B and B- 50% to 60%
C+, C, C-, D and F 10% to 15%
IP and IF No more than 5%</p>
<p>That said, it's not impossible. Most grades work themselves something like this anyway, although I've not yet come up against the Finance department in all fairness.</p>
