But then again the C and D grade students are backed by wealthy parents who can afford them slacking off. This is not to undermine any of them but, when you have a fairly soft bed to fall on when things take a wrong turn, you are more willing to take risks.
Most A grade students don't usually have the same wealthy parents to turn to for their whims and they have to struggle.

- guiomie 10y agoMaybe C and D have other interests than just studying? Maybe they will get something out of that traded time that the A won't, which will give them an actual edge in the real world, non academic world. Your statement is flawed and an awful generalization. Are you frustrated some of your C and D friends are more successful than you?
- kyloren 10y agoWell I being just graduated from university also believe this is very accurate. I did medicine as my degree and one thing I noticed is that almost all A grade students know only medicine and at times lacks the even the basic common knowledge. Some don't have any relationships and a messed social life. I'm a C grade student did medicine read HN, I'm good at coding, I hack and love making things, have a good social life. And even my other C grade students play games, go out have a very good time/life. But there are times I feel whether I should have given up my CS skills for medicine because they don't go well together.
- blazespin 10y agoI was an A student myself, but I know a lot of extremely bright and successful C/D students. They did poorly in university because maturity / didn't particularly care for the theoretical nature of the material.
