What sucks about stern?

<p>Self-explanatory...I just want to know what current/past undergrad students in Stern hated about it.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>We hate weenies like you asking what we didn't like.</p>

<p>the curve.....it makes you compete with the other classmates, its not just you against the test. having a low 90 average that becomes a B+ sucks (doesnt happen too often but probably happens once or twice to everyone at some point). also the deans are dumb.</p>

<p>too many azns. lol jk, but they do make the curve as harsh as described above^</p>

<p>I once got a B+ with 95.36 something.</p>

<p>Do all the different schools at NYU curve as stated above?</p>

<p>hey katsy, does the situation you described still exist in Stern or has all that changed with the introduction of the new grading policy.</p>

<p>Flexibility</a> in Stern Curve is more fair - Opinion</p>

<p>according to that article and Stern's website, between 23-35% of students can be awarded As. So will it be as bad for students in the class of 2012?</p>

<p>No, Stern is the only school that grades like that.</p>

<p>My least favorite part about Stern is the jerks who attend. Girls don't think you're cute when you ask them if they enjoy boners when you dance with them.</p>

<p>Wow that's terrible. I hope you stomped on their foot and walked off to find better company.</p>

<p>It was actually the result of the new policy. Our class was structured so that everyone had like a 98% up until the final. The final was supposed to spread out the grading, but obviously it didn't do enough, and 96% ended up as the cutoff for an A- (yes, minus!). I had no idea that it would come down to every single point ever given out like that.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I just got unlucky and it was just that one class. The professor was actually really nice and explained that he was already being generous with the curve.</p>

<p>Katsy, what class was that in? I'll have to watch out for it...</p>

<p>so far i have had three classes like that. for one of them a 96 was the cutoff and for the other two a 93 was the cutoff.</p>

<p>^and keep in mind the 96 and 93 were for A-, not an A. a 97 and 96, respectively, were needed to get an actual A.</p>

<p>you know what's awesome about stern - free tickets to the u.s open! dammit, I will so disguise myself as a stern student and show up.</p>
