Do you prefer to be challenged or just sail through getting your degree?

There were about three or four emails that went back and forth. I've worked with plenty of attorneys over the years because that's my job. Trying to nail them down so that you can get a definitive answer is like trying to eat soup with a fork. I could ask him again and he'd just give me the same response he's given me 3 times now.

I think you're being fair. In my grad school, you need 94 to get an A, 93 is an A-, so I REALLY wanted to score perfectly in any place I could to build in a bit of a "comfort zone" in case I lost a few points in a quiz or on a paper. I think if the scale goes to 100, then there must also be a means of obtaining that number of points, period.

I was talking to someone else about this and they said that some professors have the philosophy that nothing you do can ever be "perfect" so in their eyes, you never deserve 100%. They say these people view it as a motivation to keep striving for better. If you reach 100%, in theory, you won't try any harder than you already have.

My response was profound.

Whatever.
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
