> He's made fun of his own GPA in speeches, so we know that he was a C student at Yale. The context was that of self-deprecating humor, and whether there is truth to it or not is unknown. I think a liberal magazine once claimed to have his transcripts, but unless they print them, I won't believe it. You need only to listen to him speak to know that its true!

Either way, I don't believe he rolled through Harvard Business School's graduate program without being a reasonably good student. The point was he may not have earned his admission on his individual merit as much as his family name. But anyway.... ------ Regarding how hard George worked at Harvard MBA, I'm not sure. I don't think Harvard MBA is like Harvard Law, where they try to fail a huge % of the class to weed people out. I went to a top 20 MBA school and getting passing grades was easier than pie. A's were hard to come by, but passing wasn't tough at all. In MBA programs I think they assume the students are actually in it to learn and develop themselves, and unlike undergraduate schools the MBA GPA is relatively unimportant (since you usually aren't using your MBA GPA to apply to another grad school like you might be with undergrad). So the level of difficulty/effort is pretty much up to the students. That was my experience in MBA school.
