How do you really know you're top students? Maybe you just got a pass.

My median grade was an A+ and my brother got the silver medal for second highest GPA in the faculty.

  • Congrats but was that on a curve? Do you think your A+ today would have been an A+ 20, 30, 50 years ago? Considering that you've just stated that your MEDIAN grade was an A+, I suspect not.

I meant "pass" as in the sense of "Olé, here's an A+, so off with you to the rest of your life".

But, seriously, how's that lack of engagement working out in "the rest of your life"? Meetings? Why bother? Seems like a lecture. Reply to Slack or Email? Does that sound like something you ought to do? Or a judgement call, based on your intuition of their value?
