had a bunch of A- in my 4 years

For sure, our B-School operates on a bell curve system meaning only a few will get 4.0's and most people will fall under the 3.1-3.3 range. It's kind of grade deflation/inflation at the same time because ultimately your grade is contingent on how well you do against your peers.

Some of you guys have really high GPAs at very prestigious schools, and many of you have difficult majors.

Major props.
