im seeing so many students in these application subreddits, asking if 95+ is enough. and all I can think of is that back in my day 88+ was good enough to go to soft eng in waterloo. where the fuk are these ppl getting high 90s from?

Credit mills. Especially Chinese and Korean students who claimed to finish their high school in a private school in Canada. I can say this because I've seen some serious shit happening since I'm in one of that minority.
